Alexa Curtis (lifestyle blogger)

So, after a little WP:BEFORE I thought maybe she was notable but nearly every source is a passing mention or quoting her about her name being Alexa and Amazon's Alexa ruining the lives of women named Alexa. Simply, fails GNG at this time and all sources are primary/fluff pieces and many claims in this article are greatly exaggerated. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, the given sources look impressive at first glance but in part are not independent and in part do not cover Curtis in any detail; many of those I checked are blatantly misrepresented, having little or nothing to do with the content they're cited for. Unsalvageable without rewriting it from scratch (if better sources can be found), and written with a clear intent to promote Curtis. Borderline G11 speedy deletion candidate.

Thanks all!Albaubamkpo (talk) 21:11, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Albaubamkpo Not a single one of those links cover *her* in-depth and they are greatly misrepresented in the article, as Huon and I both pointed out. Additionally, google hits are meaningless, it could be anything from a mention to social media, neither of which establish notability. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
