:({{Find sources AFD|Alexis Dent}})

Non-notable author lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. References are examples of subjects work and some fail to mention article subject. Won a local award, but don't see that as enough to establish notability. reddogsix (talk) 11:56, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

• Delete – At this time. I have to say Ms. Dent is a prolific writer with articles in the Huffington Post – Washington Post and BET to name a few. However, cannot fine any 3 party – Independent – Reliable sources dealing with Ms. Dent specifically. I am sure, one day I will see an article here on Wikipedia with Ms. Dent as the subject. But sorry to say, she has not obtained the Notability yet to be included in an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoessss (talk • contribs)
• Delete – appears to clever bit of native advertising with corresponding lack of WP:COI if not WP:PAID disclosure by article creator. FlamesElite (talk) 19:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

• Delete Contrary to what some believe, Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising. We really need to enforce this rule better.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:GNG and possible COI/Paid issues as outlined above. Snowycats (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
• Comment ... and at long last we have a ... disclosure. Allow me to apologize for wasting everyone's time by contesting the speedy. I should have smelled this for what it was. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 01:12, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

: {{u|Lilyscholz}} has now disclosed the paid editing and apologized to me by email. I was the one who originally contested the WP:CSD#A7 tagging, and I was feeling a bit taken advantage of when I wrote that snarky comment. I'm still not a fan of paid editing, disclosed or not, but of course {{U|Lilyscholz}} is now taking steps in the right direction. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:28, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

• Comment – The subject does meet WP:GNG criteria. She received significant coverage by reliable sources, independent of the subject in BRIDES magazine, WeddingBee, The Business Journals and WKBW-TV as well as in MTV.com, NY Daily News, Gawker and Hollywood Life for her blog Bieber Heiress. The article satisfies WP:NOTPROMOTION because it does not state any opinions and provides only sourced information; it does not self-promote because Dent did not write the article and it maintains a neutral point of view; and it does not advertise because mentions of companies are written objectively and sourced by reliable sources independent of the subject. I have now disclosed WP:PAID. This is my first paid contribution. I'm sorry for the omission; I did not understand the process for disclosure and have corrected my mistake. Though I have a WP:COI, I genuinely believe that Dent meets the notability requirements to warrant a Wikipedia page. The page has been edited and improved by other contributors since its nomination for deletion. If there are any concerns I have not addressed, please let me know how to improve the page.

• Delete on account of subject not meeting notability criteria. Aside from a few guest-posts in the WPost, we have primary sources, Justin Bieber websites, and unreliable sources in abundance, such as [https://www.brides.com/contributor/alexis-dent this]. Well, it's just not there. (Apologies if my humble suggestion causes loss of income for anyone.) -The Gnome (talk) 08:59, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
