The result was delete. Despite the addition of new sources, there seems to be an agreement that independent coverage still isn't sufficient. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anything of note in any respectable publication. There's a few articles but not significant coverage to warrant notability. There's one in attitude, but it's just really an excuse to post a load of photos of him. Nothing out of the ordinary for a fashion model. There's a few regarding his relationship with Paris Hilton but bumping uglies with a 2-bit celeb does not confer notability. The only way someone could justify this article is by proving the subject has a significant fanbase, but having just seen an old discussion where an entrepreneur (and shameless self-promoter) with 10x as many fb followers was 3D1K deleted, I don't think WP:BIO can be proven in their favour. I'm also far from convinced we meet WP:GNG here. Rayman60 (talk) 11:06, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - he's a well-known model who has appeared in many print ad campaigns for prestigious products, although he's possibly best known for a "leak" of "selfies", hence lots of unrespectible sources. I'll try to fix it. Bearian (talk) 21:14, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I found good cites for articles from the New York Times, Glamour, Out, etc. They are not all flattery. Three reliable sources from 2016 call him "supermodel" by name. I did not link to the leaked selfies, but they're easy enough to find (NSFW)! I note that he has 124,000 followers on Twitter. Bearian (talk) 22:09, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are also several articles in other languages, including Finnish and Spanish. Bearian (talk) 21:21, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete - nn. No significant coverage or any serious claims of notability whatsoever. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:28, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is not much, the NYT mentions him once in passing in a single sentence. GQ coverage is not much better, it is one-two sentences, mostly a photoblog. Glamour Magazine just quotes him two or three times. He got on the cover of Attitude (magazine), which got few paragraphs of coverage in Out (magazine). So, at best, one decent source. Nope, fails GNG. Just someone doing their job. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 20:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
