:({{Find sources AFD|title=Miz Ima Starr}})

WP:BLP of a cabaret performer, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for performers. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement sourced to a WP:GNG-worthy depth and volume of third-party coverage in reliable sources -- but the only notability claim in evidence here is that Miz Ima Starr exists, and the article is referenced almost entirely to event calendar listings and the self-published websites of venues where she's performed, which aren't support for notability. The only potentially decent source is one newspaper article that is paywalled even in the Wayback Machine archiving link (meaning I can't actually read it to determine if it supports a meaningful notability claim or not), and isn't enough to singlehandedly vault her over GNG all by itself if it's the only GNG-worthy source she's got.
I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived Australian and New Zealand media than I've got can find enough proper GNG-worthy coverage to salvage it, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have better referencing than this.

• :I agree with you, @Bearcat, that as it stands, it doesn't meet the GNG with reliable and accessible sources.
• :I had a look at the NZ media and I have found one piece in [https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/periodicals/RIU19950501.2.82?items_per_page=50&query=%22Miz+Ima+Starr%22&snippet=true the PastPaper archive], I haven't been successful finding anything through the NZHerald or Stuff. I have found a passing mention to the Australia's Got Talent semi-finals in a journal article in the European Journal of Cultural Studies here, and a couple of other articles from the [https://artsreview.com.au/miz-ima-starr-my-hearts-a-drummer/ Australian Arts Review], [https://www.starobserver.com.au/news/national-news/does-drag-still-have-misogyny-problem/174405 Star Observer], and an interview with [https://joy.org.au/rachjacqanddene/2018/02/03/miz-ima-starr/ Joy Media], that I don't see currently referenced in the article. There is also some archival media coverage that I cannot access, such as [https://natlib.govt.nz/records/20494950?search%5Bpath%5D=items&search%5Btext%5D=%22Miz+Ima+Starr%22 this]. Lastly, there is an [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1079035/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1 IMDB page] that has the films produced/directed - although I believe this is a disputed use of this source on Wikipedia, so might be best avoided.
• :I am not sure whether this will be enough to meet GNG but I am happy to contribute to rewriting and adding these references, if that would help it meet it. Ewhite31 (talk) 12:12, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

:Delete none of the references appear to be secondary and provide significant coverage.

:I did find one reference that provides that but I don't believe it is reliable enough for a BLP. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:03, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

• Delete fails WP:GNG. At best this article is written WP:TOOSOON. Tgvarrt (talk) 06:09, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
