Velvet D’Amour

This was originally speedy-deleted as an A7. DRV overturned finding a claim to notability in the modeling work and film role. Weak delete, pending other opinions, given uncertainty over notability. Xoloz 15:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I just can't find anything of substance about her. Most sources which mention her do so only incidentally or in passing, and are substantially about something else (a fashion show, a movie). The vast majority of material is also on blogs or otherwise unreliable. I just don't see that there's enough information out there to write a biography.

Keep It seems that lots of newspapers wrote about her. Yes we are struggling to get info to write a full biography-but that is no reason to delete. According to this [1] there were multiple newspapers writing about her. I think she is notable by wikipedia definition. Obina 16:24, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to title role in Avida. --Groggy Dice T | C 23:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, within the topic of plus-size models' she is very notable, and given the very real and widespread international media attention this woman continues to receive after her catwalk appearances she definitely has merit. Respondants to this AfD who do not regularly monitor fashion media will likely discount her impact on the fashion industry but it cannot be denied; D'Amour is the largest woman to have ever appeared during a Paris fashion showing, and this at the height of the 'model health debate'. Prevalence of blogs talking about this woman and reposting existing media interviews and television appearances implies that she has high impact in current popular culture AntiVanity 23:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fashion-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 14:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
weak delete - insufficient reliable sources. I suspect she may gain notability in the future if her career continues, but not right now. -- Whpq 16:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Seems to be notable.
