BLP for a pole dancer with several unsourced qualifications. Does not appear to fulfill WP:ARTIST. Sources only seem to come from organizations she is a part of or from schools she is teaching at, and are not sufficiently independent. Only notable achievement is winning the "Miss Pole Dance UK" in 2005, which is good, but isn't sufficient for WP:ARTIST. I conducted a search to look for sources, many of which (unsurprisingly) were videos of her performances:

a photoshoot posted on a blog
she is cited as a "favorite dancer" of another pole dancer in this interview - still not in-depth
she competed in the Miss Pole Dance World competition, but was disqualified for what was judged to be stripping- But this is reported by the school that she works at.

Interesting character, but there's a distinct lack of independent sources to provide evidence of notability per WP:ARTIST. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 23:27, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to have started off as a vanity article. All references are to websites of at-most questionable reliability. One of the so-called references actually refutes a claim in the achievement section, instead of confirming it. At least one reference points to a youtube video. Etc, etc, etc. —gorgan_almighty (talk) 12:40, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
