Comment. I’ll comb through sources tomorrow and see if I can find a notable hook bc I am seeing that a statement of significance is missing. Elttaruuu (talk) 04:36, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I definitely understand why this article isn’t quite there yet but just want to share, it is frustrating trying to find useable content for someone who only recently stopped using their dead name and then died. Obviously, not saying this as a critique of Playboy, herself. Her name is also difficult to research because of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson’s connection to Playboy. I would love to be able to add to the Wikipedia record her community organizing and artistic work but I may have to wait for more to be written about her.

Keep. I think it’s clear from the sources utilized that Playboy was a big presence in the New York queer community. Them, Women’s Wear Daily, and Essence all wrote articles about her life, legacy, and death. Elttaruuu (talk) 02:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not seeing notability. Having your photo published is not nearly enough for notability. Rest seems to be about their death; apart from the photo and the tragic demise, I'm not seeing notability. Oaktree b (talk) 02:41, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete One of the cited sources Them magazine article by Uzumaki Cepeda reads in addition to Hatnim Lee’s photography from the memorial, we asked Uzumaki Cepeda, one of Tommy’s best friends, to share a few words and memories about the beloved New York icon.. This source is used to cite the trivia that the author and the article subject were both friends with Kehlani. This name drop is as meaningful as an article written by the subject's friend saying they both liked #1 value meal pack from McDonald's and I feel like it's an attempt to fluff up notability.
