There is considerable content in public domain that makes TN notable. Her narrative is compelling and being in over 300 boutiques is significant. Fashdiva7601 (talk) 20:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree Tracy Negoshian may not be a household name, but is someone whose clothes are gaining recognition and popularity across the U.S. thus being notable. Clothesed (talk) 21:24, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly the problem - if they're not a household name then they're probably not likely to be valid for a wikipedia article. The relevant tests are in WP:CREATIVE:

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors.
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

The bits in bold is the only thing this article could squeeze in on, and you'd need to be able to find several top-quality sources to cite to prove she's widely known (and by that, review pieces are not good enough) in order to make it stick. As soon as she gets an article about her work in the New York Times you're good, until then, she's not really high profile enough. Etrigan (talk) 07:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
