[edit] Copyright
this is pretty much just a re-write of the LAT article --66.108.113.147 04:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it's a summary of the LAT article. See Wikipedia:Fair use: "It is perfectly legal to read an encyclopedia article or other work, reformulate it in your own words, and submit it to Wikipedia." howcheng {chat} 00:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok this is nn and should be dealt with accordingly --Slogankid 17:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

- Slogan, maybe you should check the notability page first before you label something as non-notable. As much as I'd like to agree with you, unfortunatly, one of the notability criteria is that the subject should have been subject to 'multiple non-trivial mentions in media independent from the source' and since she's making multiple appearences in and on the cover of various glossy magazines, this unfortunatly means that yet another pointless myspace brat is acceptable to Wikipedia.

This article is self-promotion of a person who has nothing to promote. She has achieved nothing except a few magazine covers, and is still not considered a model. Until she has released a project or contributed to the Arts in a notable way, why should she have a Wikipedia page? She is known only on the internet and if she is allowed a page then surely anyone who is a "myspace celebrity" should be allowed an entry on wikipedia, because that is all she is known for. If this page remains then the credibility of Wikipedia needs to be questioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.91.182 (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- 1) It's not self-promotion. Unless Ms Kennedy is one of the anonymous IPs who have edited the article, she hasn't touched it to my knowledge. 2) Why is "credibility" of Wikipedia under question, because we are covering a non-entity? We have a lot of other articles on what many people might consider to be useless crap. Whether you like it or not, she fits the guidelines set at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Of course, you are free to disagree -- AFD is that way. howcheng {chat} 22:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
What makes her worthy of having a Wikipedia page? Is she a supermodel like Gemma Ward? No. Is she a musician? Is she an actress? Does she have a fashion line? No. No. No. All she did was use her trust-fund to buy high-fashion clothes and then post photos on myspace, and then party every night of the week. A million other priviliged scene kids do the same thing, so why aren't they allowed Wikipedia pages as well? It's also quite funny that no-one can actually list her contribution to society/ the arts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.91.182 (talk) 02:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't disagree that she hasn't accomplished particularly anything. That being said, she still qualifies for an article because she's notable. She's different from the other MySpace brats because she has newspaper and magazine articles written about her. howcheng {chat} 04:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
