Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashley Erinn Harder

The result was delete. I'm not even going to let this run its course. Its likely a hoax or an attempt at promotion, but if this is a real person there are possibly harmful claims in this article, so I'm deleting per our BLP policy and the ruling on summary deletions. There's no point in having this up for even another hour. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 21:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Possible hoax. Closest claims to real notability come from a Maxim editorial, Models.com rankings, and runway shows, but Maxim and Models.com return zero search results on Harder, and the Fashion Model Directory (the IMDb of modeling) has no entry for her, which makes such claims as her holding the record for opening and closing the most fashion shows in one season vastly dubious. None of the references check out and a Google search verifies nothing other than a two-photo online appearance for "Urban Male Magazine" with a brief Q-and-A that tellingly ends with a blank section on her other modeling work. Even a Google image search brings up next to nothing.  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 16:06, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - All the reference links seem to be dead (if they were ever alive to begin with) or otherwise go nowhere helpful. Seeing as how this is a presented as a biography of an ostensibly living, non-fictional person, the fact that we can't find anything to even start satisfying WP:V -- even in the article's own references -- is very troubling. Most of the notability points in the article seem rather dubious too (e.g., according to [http://www.misshawaiiantropic.com/news.cfm?press_id=3 this], someone named Kristen Achee won Miss Hawaiian Tropic in 2006; according to [http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150135863467&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=260340116699&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget&_trksid=p284.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%252BIA%26itu%3DCR%252BIA%252BUCI%26otn%3D4%26ps%3D41 this] and other listings, the pictorials in the July 2007 issue of Maxim were of Jessica Biel, Bobbi Sue Luther, Megan Fox, and the women of the Israeli Defense Forces; etc.). I would say that this person, if she does in fact exist, is NN, but it's more likely we're just being bullshitted. --Dynaflow babble 17:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
