I find that she is only really notable by being David Hasselhoff's (now) ex-wife. And notability isn't WP:INHERITED. Her acting credits aren't really impressive, she's mainly an extra and is credited as "Girl on the Bus", "Beach Girl", "Blonde in steam sauna", "Woman". The reliable sources found are just about her divorce with Hasselhoff or her arrest. Hardly notable. LADY LOTUSTALK 17:25, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep - The way that I look at notability not being inherited, I don't think it should really matter why a person is famous/notable/is in the press, the "not inherited" should only really apply to people who aren't getting press but are merely associated with a celebrity in some way. For instance, Kevin Federline is only famous for being Britney's ex, his notability derives entirely from his relationship to Brit. Her new beau, David Lucado, is not notable. They both have the same relationship to her, but one got major press, the other one, only a little. David Lucado is an example of WP:INHERITED. A spouse of a celeb who gets press, such as Federline, does not. In her case...I'd say she's borderline. She did have a recurring role on Baywatch and she seems to be getting some continuing press for random life events. I wouldn't fight super hard to keep it, but I think she scrapes by.

  • Weak keep as per Bali88. Although obviously best known for her marriage to (and tempestuous split from) Hasselhoff, she has gotten some attention and coverage for her own work over the years. I've added a few sources to substantiate this. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:11, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Notable because she meets WP:GNG, we do not make subjective value judgments of her worth to the human race. There's a reason she has articles on 6 wikipedias.--Milowenthasspoken 21:00, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, who was making judgments as to her worth to the human race? I missed it. Bali88 (talk) 21:47, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
