Biography of a person whose only discernible claim of notability is "got covered in an episode of a reality show", and whose only sourcing is a single article in her local newspaper. Was nominated for speedy, but got declined — but the creator is making claims of significance on the talk page like "we should take interest in the psychological aspect her case, due to the astonishing amount of time and effort it must have taken her to disappear off the face of the earth, and what she must have been feeling in order to go through with it." Except that's got nothing to do with Wikipedia's inclusion standards — if enough reliable sources haven't deemed her "interesting" to earn her a Wikipedia article the normal and verifiable way, then it's not our job to deem her "interesting" for any reason that would involve engaging in original research speculation.

Delete - My searches found nothing good and the newspapers listed are the best sources thus there's not much for an article and minimal notability. SwisterTwister talk 05:54, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
