Sufficient notability is asserted to pass CSD, but this is a non notable lady. Fiddle Faddle 09:50, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree, she is a famous plus-size model in Russia, even won a few awards. Of course most sites about her are in Russian and I don't think Wikipedia accepts non-English websites as credible references.Oct13 (talk) 10:50, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We accept Russian sources, as long as they pass our policy on reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:30, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did a search by her Russian name (Виктория Манас) and found some hits, but not for anything overwhelmingly major. She did win some beauty contests, but not any that seem to be very major. She placed second in another one, but I'm not really seeing that much coverage out there. She seems to be along the lines of one of the models that are relatively well known, yet never really gain much coverage in reliable sources. I have no problem with this getting userfied and if someone can show me that she's won notable pageants and received coverage in reliable sources such as newspapers, then I'm willing to change my argument. Most of what I saw were social media sites and blog entries. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:37, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"She seems to be along the lines of one of the models that are relatively well known, yet never really gain much coverage in reliable sources" Ah, I think you hit the nail on the head! Okay, so the article should be deleted. Or userfied, I guess. Oct13 (talk) 11:39, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lactical 14:50, 9 November 2013 (GMT) Agreed. Deficient biography, should be deleted unless original creator can provide substantially better references.

Comment Since it is, presumably, simply too soon in her career, I see no objection to the article's re-creation later, with excellent references when they exist. Fiddle Faddle 00:30, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
