Insufficient indications of notability. The given citations indicate that Otis has received credits in some photo shoots, and has received mention in passing for winning the inaugural P&G Beauty Awards for "Makeup artist of the year". As this is a new award ceremony, and Otis received only a "yep, she won that" mention in the coverage, it doesn't really seem like the required significant coverage.

Please note the inclusion of further references which prove Otis's Notability and provide further information on her achivements and career.

- Delete as promotional unless wording is improved and some content is removed, eg. name of her agent. Deb (talk) 18:57, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- Comment {{mention|Deb}}, if you believe the article can be improved to the point of retention, then you should improve it rather than !voting delete. I don't believe it can be, based on the paucity of sources, but that is one man's opinion. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- I don't either. Deb (talk) 19:24, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

- 'keep' note article from FASHION magazine 'National treasures: Over the past 35 years, these Canadian innovators have been making their beauty mark at home and abroad' and 'Sneak Peak at Joe Fresh makeup collection' which sites Otis as Beauty Director at Joe Fresh.

- Comment The Fashion article in question ([http://www.fashionmagazine.com/beauty/2012/10/18/canadian-beauty-trailblazers-brands-hair-makeup-fragrance-green/ here] includes Otis in their list of "national treasures" but says nothing else about her. The "Sneak Peak" article (also at Fashion magazine, [http://www.fashionmagazine.com/beauty/2013/06/19/joe-fresh-fall-2013-makeup/ here]) does, indeed, name Otis as Beauty Director at Joe Fresh, and says nothing else about her. We're looking for significant coverage here (i.e. an entire article written about this person), not just brief mentions in passing. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- Delete, for several reasons. In fact I initially speedily deleted the article, but then I decided that since this AfD has been started, we may as well allow it to be discussed. The article is promotional, it fails to demonstrate notability (despite an attempt to saturate it with numerous unsuitable references: see WP:BOMBARD). It is also sufficiently similar to the article deleted at Articles for deletion/Simone Otis that it could be considered to qualify for speedy deletion as a repost. (Note: This is one of a group of articles created and re-created by single purpose accounts, all of whose editing has been promotion for one "management company" and its clients.)

- speedy delete as a recreation, but even if not it clearly doesn't meet WP:CREATIVE Gaijin42 (talk) 14:40, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
