The subject fails WP:BIO. The only reason anyone knows who she is is because her mother was a famous model. Dannielynn has done nothing noteworthy on her own and all of the articles that cover her and are cited here are silly puff pieces in things like People Magazine and Us Weekly, mostly covering things like her attending the Kentucky Derby and what dress she wore. She is not a working model, having appeared in a single campaign at age 6. The article contains a great deal of puffery and she simply isn't notable. If not outright deleted, this should be redirected to the article about her paternity case. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 02:01, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article is adequately referenced. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:18, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The references don't establish how she is notable. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 02:20, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The current version of the article is much shorter than earlier versions, such as this one. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:22, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  The current version doesn't contain all of the puffery, misinformation and uncited claims about her nonexistent modelling career. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 13:40, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article was informative until you deleted half of it. Krotch Lockman (talk) 04:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Puffery is only informative to people who want to retain articles on non-notable BLP subjects. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 13:37, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree that DB article should be removed because it's irrelevant. The girl is a teenager in high school, she's just a child of a very controversial woman. DB father desperately wants to be in the limelight, non stop "exclusive" tabloid interviews about his relationship with Smith, but they are not really notable people.

Delete or redirect - this appears to be an WP:INVALIDBIO due to the lack of significant coverage about her. Recent sources, such as Dannielynn Birkhead: Where is Anna Nicole Smith's daughter now? (Cosmopolitan, Apr 2023) seem to emphasize this with coverage focused primarily on the upcoming Netflix documentary Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me, Smith, and the paternity case, before two grafs at the end noting where Birkhead resides, one modeling campaign in 2013 at age 6 with a promotional comment from the "co-founder of the fashion house", and the "Instagram account she shares with her father." The All About Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead's Daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead story by People in September 2022 is based on what her father says about her and Smith, and posts to Instagram, after several grafs reviewing the paternity case, and a graf mentioning her brother; a 2021 story from People, Dannielynn Birkhead Discovers Late Mother Anna Nicole Smith's Treasured Possessions for First Time has a similar focus on Smith and what Larry Birkhead and "Smith's childhood best friend, Jo McLemore" say. In 2016, Vanity Fair briefly reported: Anna Nicole Smith’s Daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, Is Now 10—and Won’t Be Acting or Modeling Anytime Soon. The overall theme in sources I have reviewed is a lack of independence from what her father promotes, and tabloid-style interest in e.g. Anna Nicole Smith's Daughter Dannielynn Birkhead Is Cuter Than Ever at Kentucky Derby (ET, 2015), which does not support WP:BASIC encyclopedic notability at this time.

Leaning delete or redirect per WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE. She's a minor who does not appear to have sought out the spotlight (but has occasionally been thrust into it by the adults around her). No objection to recreating once she's an adult and if she starts attracting significant coverage on her own, rather than as a subject of her father's antics. pburka (talk) 23:39, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
