Kate Eppers[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable local singer/actor without substantial press coverage. The only source that actually substantially discusses her is a single local blog which is not enough to satisfy WP:N. This appears to be a promotional page rather than an unbiased encyclopedia entry. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable (yet) actor with no national or international recognition. Most refs are imdb or youtube. Reads like the promotional blurb her agent might supply when putting her forward for a role. Neiltonks (talk) 12:39, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with above. I could not find any independent coverage of her on Google. ツStacey (talk) 17:11, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The above was misplaced on the main AfD page, so I copied it here, where it was clearly intended. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:16, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Alisonkaye: The article is not being nominated for deletion for "unknown reason" as you claim; it is because there is no need for this article on Wikipedia. Wikipedia only includes articles that pass a notability test - that is, that are about people or things of demonstrated significance. Merely being a musician is not sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia:Notability (music) includes a list of criterion for when a musician is sufficiently notable for inclusion on Wikipedia, and Kate Eppers does not pass these tests. She is a minor local musician who has not received major airplay or press attention (i.e, articles on Pitchfork, the Boston Globe, Rolling Stone, etc). It's not a matter of whether you can "do anything" to stop the article being deleted or how much you try; you chose to create an article about someone who is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, so the community is discussing whether the article should be deleted.

Delete. It looks too soon for an article yet. It's got lots of citations, but they're all to YouTube videos, IMDb credits, social media profiles, or other sources unable to demonstrate notability. Google searches don't turn up anything. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:22, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the current article noticeably has troubles that need improvements, simply not convincing of the needed notability yet. SwisterTwister talk 22:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
