Speedy declined and removal of speedy deletion template many times by now blocked user. A person competing in America's Next Top Model and has does not meet notability requirements. ApprenticeFan ^work 09:08, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. - DonCalo (talk) 19:09, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:GNG - She gets significant coverage in reliable sources already in article. Rednevog (talk) 19:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Agree with Rednevog's point. -- Evans1982 (talk) 01:42, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I disagree with the deletion argument and fails WP:GNG. Therefore, my choice is delete. ApprenticeFan ^work 06:06, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete minimnl coverage. I accept the winners of these competitions as notable. I don't accept it without much better material for those who do not actually come in first. The article as written sounds promotion, with various unsourced statements of praise for her qualities. DGG ( talk ) 05:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete There are three sources (looking like four, but source 2 and 3 are actually the same one) in the article. Only the first of these qualify as significant coverage - it is quite a long interview with Ferrel. The second source is brief and it's quesitonable whether the source is in fact a WP:RS. The final source looks like a RS, but it only mentions Ferrel in passing. So WP:GNG does not appear to be met. In addition, the article contains a lot of unsourced fluff and promotional writing; when that's taken out, there is no actual claim of notability for the person. --bonadea contributions talk 09:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete This is a perenial problem with many ANTM contestants' pages, often created by fans of the particular contestant. With a show that barely averages 2 million viewers per season (as compared to other reality shows like Survivor or American Idol which would warrant their contestants more major coverage due to greater audience and radio impressions), there is simply not enough justification for a non-winning contestant to have a Wikipedia page of their own unless they have done some noteworthy acheivements outside of ANTM, like acting and sports (Analeigh Tipton, Yaya DaCosta), hosting (Kim Stolz, Toccara Jones), pageants (Cassandra Whitehead), television milestones (Heather Kuzmich, Isis King), winning in other reality shows like Modelville (Dominique Reighard) or truly successful international models (Elyse Sewell, Eugena Washington).
- Adding on to my point, I do suggest a clean-up and/or deletion of several other ANTM contestants' pages, including Esther Petrack, Anchal Joseph, Jane Randall, Chantal Jones, Natasha Galkina, Kahlen Rondot, Samantha Potter, Raina Hein, Celia Ammerman, Chelsey Hersley and even our beloved Laura Kirkpatrick.
