trivial notability and clear promotionalism. The sort of sources being used here are promotional press releases, not reliable sources. By every indication this is a probable paid editor who refuses to declare themselves who has contributed many such articles, most of which have been deleted; I am checking the others.

  • Delete per nom (User:DGG). Also, the sources are trivial and it seems most of the content of the sources is not related to the title of the article or to the content. This article seems to be mostly a promotional attempt for a TV show as sources discuss this show, or dating, or other items unrelated to the subject WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:SOAPBOX. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:55, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as I myself reviewed this, there's nothing at all to actually suggest the needed notability. SwisterTwister talk 05:14, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:GNG. The best sources I found are this and this, although the latter is a tabloid. Most other sources either simply quote her or mention her in a single sentence. This is not enough. Although the article has more sources (such as [1]), most of these are primary sources or WP:SPS. The subject wouldn't pass WP:GNG at this time. Neither would she pass WP:ENT --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:18, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
