Article is about a relatively unknown celebrity to the general population of the Philippines. Page seems designed to boost ego and popularity as well as advertise. A Deviantart account is not a valid official website —Preceding unsigned comment added by Belazekial (talk • contribs) 2008/04/22 19:55:14

  • Delete no RS coverage and ghits are limited to DevianArt and Flickr type sites, no evidence of notability. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 16:34, 23 April 2008 (UTC) Change to weak keep per Lenticel's second source. Not sure the first about her wig collection establishes notability and the Animax site is a press release TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 11:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 22:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The reference site, Animax Asia [1], is valid. Thanks! Bizarro33My storyTell me yours 19:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: What happened to the first nomination? It seems to be empty. —Quasirandom (talk) 04:20, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • As far as I can tell, there never was one. No idea why the nominator named it as second. Collectonian (talk) 04:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, completely fails WP:BIO. Collectonian (talk) 04:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep aside from the animax source, she has two articles in the Philippine Daily Inquirer [2][3]. I'm not surprised that you find nothing in Google News since Internet news archiving isn't that famous here in the Philippines.--Lenticel (talk) 05:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Note: The 2nd Inquirer.net source did not appear in the Inquirer newspaper -- it's part of the web-only anime blog. --Howard the Duck 11:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Note; Scan provided below shows that "Lady anime" did appear in the newspaper.--Lenticel (talk) 00:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I actually think this is the third nomination already. No improvement for notability since last nomination. --Howard the Duck 05:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Both Inquirer articles were officially published on the newspaper, Philippine Daily Inquirer. Bizarro33My storyTell me yours 1:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
    You already commented. Collectonian (talk) 17:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
    I'd like to make it clear that not all content on Inquirer.net gets to be published at the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper. Some are web-only editions. --Howard the Duck 03:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

    But it doesn't matter. If she was on some TV show I would even consider. Mind you, yours truly was featured in a newspaper too, does that mean I'll have a Wikipedia article. --Howard the Duck 06:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
    Note: Bizarro33 may be a Single-purpose account. --Howard the Duck 07:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I motion for deletion, ladies and gentlemen. Why promote the popularity of this girl when she absolutely has done NOTHING to society. She is NOT a celebrity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.217.145.202 (talk) 07:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, this is not a reason for deletion. Better do that to the Paris Hilton article. --Howard the Duck 07:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep It's not up to what we personally think about this, but going accordingly to the guidelines. This article seems to meet basic criteria for WP:N. It is quite sad because this person would have no place in a "real" encyclopedia. Blame the crappy rules of WP:N and WP:BIO...but that's for another day i guess :) --Do you know me??...then SHUT UP!!! 01:18, 30 April 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Udonknome (talk • contribs)
  • Delete - the sources don't provide much evidence of notability. On second thoughts, keep. There's significant coverage from multiple reliable sources here, and that's all that WP:BIO requires. Terraxos (talk) 01:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete An appearance and a corporate sponsored award in one episode of a cable TV show does not merit notability. And do we really need a list of what character she cosplayed according by event and year? Most of these events go unnoticed even by the general population of Filipino anime/manga fans. Going by the rules of of WP:BIOL she has not won or been nominated enough times for the awards featured in this page (which i repeat are not notable enough by themselves). Belazekial (talk) 02:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: The article's on the thin edge of demonstrating the subject's notability, but does do so to my eye. Better (more explicit) referencing would help, though. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
