Tenuous notability. Fails WP:BIO. Most of the sources are about series or host. scope_creep^Talk 23:01, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wrong - This person is notable - They appeared on more than 1 television show, created music with other notable people and has a large social media following. Remove the tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratherbe2000 (talk • contribs)
Delete appearing on multiple television shows is not a default showing of notability. No sources that show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:19, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are other contestants from this show that have the same type of notability as this one, and she's done more than TV anyway. And no sources? No sources. There's 20 - about the same as most of the other queens (some higher placing ones have less actually) Please... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratherbe2000 (talk • contribs)

Comment None of them are notable. I plan to put every one up for deletion, with exceptions. The idea that they shown to be filmed, and make them notable. No. They are BLP article and they need sources. scope_creep^Talk 13:01, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They are absolutely notable based just on "they shown to be filmed" and they have other levels of notability other than TV shows. Stop being difficult. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratherbe2000 (talk • contribs)

There are thousands of other more contentious pages worthy of deletion, but your specific targetting of the drag queens of RuPaul's Drag Race reads as thinly veiled discrimination. As you are specifically targeting drag queens based off your inherent beliefs, this deletion should be void. You are not doing this to benefit Wikipedia but to instead further your own bias agenda against them. Joeylevn (talk) 03:00, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a neutral comment, this AfD if successful should restore it as a redirect.Naraht (talk) 15:32, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I see passing mentions in the context of appearances on the show, but nothing that qualifies as substantive coverage. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:41, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a notable trans activist and drag queen, she is responsible for songs and spinoff episodes of her persona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zombiewaldo (talk • contribs) 01:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC) — Zombiewaldo (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Zombiewaldo (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.[reply]

Keep This person is notable because of their media following, their activism and their recognition as a trans person of notice. Stacy appeared in multiple TV shows, produced content in multiple venues and is a recognized voice for both the trans and the drag communities.

Keep It has become clear that this cause for deletion is fueled by an inherent prejudice and discrimination against the drag queens of RuPaul's Drag Race. There are thousands of other more contentious pages worthy of deletion, but the specific targetting of the drag queens of RuPaul's Drag Race reads as thinly veiled discrimination. This deletion is not being proposed to benefit Wikipedia but to instead further a bias agenda against them. Therefore the cause for deletion is void. This figure has a notable enough career to have a wikipedia page which provides easy and accessible information on her career and activism.

I'm a regular editor to all things related to RPDR. There are no grounds for this concern. Your argument is lacking. Joeylevn (talk)[reply]
