  • Keep. WP:ENTERTAINER Libby Babet is the trainer/host of The Biggest Loser Australia, replacing well-known fitness expert and TV personality Michelle Bridges. The Biggest Loser is one of Australia's top rating TV shows. There are 98,000 results when searching for "Libby Babet" of which, having checked the first 10 pages, I suspect most if not all are related to this Libby Babet.

  • Delete, not a contestant, but still not notable. I have not been able to find anything on Babet that is independent and substantial, although this job is made difficult by the enormous amount of marketing fluff that has been generated about and around her, and printed in the TV pages. Would not object to a redirect to The Biggest Loser Australia (season 11) as a plausible search term. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • KeepUser already !voted. I'm new here so apologies if I'm off track but here are some more references. Can we also cite printed references? Libby will be on the cover of Women's Fitness Magazine (115K readership) in April with a feature story about her. If this isn't what you mean by independent and substantial could you please clarify?

Demonstrating notability isn't about the quantity of sources, it's about their quality, and I'm just not seeing the quality needed here. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:43, 25 March 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Ok thanks for the feedback, here's some more information:

Here's another link I found:

I assume printed sources are just as valid as online? For example, how can I reference various profiles in major magazines such as Who, OK! and Women's Fitness Magazine? Would being profiled in significant print publications qualify as independent and quality references?

Tyrone28 (talk) 10:32, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's heaps of speaking engagements here, but you're not showing me anything that amounts of substantial coverage of Babet herself that hasn't been paid for. She's got a good publicist obviously, but an advertorial piece in a "lifestyle magazine" is not reliable coverage. I have to ask, what is your connection (if any) with Babet or The Biggest Loser?

Relisting comment: I will relist this. The reference lists make this AFD a mess to look at yet there's only been 2 contributions beyond the nominator, which are split. Lots of links and evidence but no consensus.

  • Merge/Redirect per Lankiveil's 19 March suggestion. I don't see anything establishing independent notability just yet, and given the performance of the show there's a possibility there never will be any, but for now it seems to make sense to include a brief background in the article on the series in question. If/when her career takes off, there's no prejudice towards re-creating an independent article. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:28, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect (cleaning out the Relisted 3 times or more cat) Would not object to a redirect per Lankiveil L3X1 (distant write) 14:46, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to Lankiveil none of the coverage is paid coverage, Libby does not have a publicist and I am part of Libby's team. As I said, there are numerous magazine articles in print, including covers of major magazines which are independent (not about Biggest Loser) that I cannot reference here as they are not available online. Surely offline references are just as valid as online? Tyrone28 (talk) 21:02, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
