WP:SPIP WP:NOTABILITY - Entirely a puff piece/resume. I attempted to fact check the stated accomplishments and quickly realized there was no long term projects, notability, etc. Please note the edits by: 71.246.118.132, Gemin-Eye, Dblazeskater, 71.249.188.7 - I believe these to be edits by the subject of the article.

  • Weak delete - am inclined to agree. She does also seem to be a blogger for the Huffington Post (see [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/summer-rayne-oakes this bio]), but I'm not sure that counts for much. I think [http://scienceline.org/2012/09/a-model-on-an-eco-mission/ this] is actually a blog but it's not clear. There seems to be a couple of non-English articles (see GoogleNews) but I can't tell if these are passing mentions or significant coverage. She seems to have received a whole bunch of coverage from various eco-blogs and the like but I'm not sure any of it contributes to meeting WP:GNG. Like [http://www.theurbn.com/2012/07/summer-rayne-oakes-this-model-is-on-a-sustainable-mission/ this], [http://www.inc.com/articles/2010/12/summer-rayne-oakes.html this] and [http://www.cartierwomensinitiative.com/candidate/benita-singh-summer-rayne-oakes this]. The second one might be edging toward what we're looking for but I'm not really convinced. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:31, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

::As an aside, most of the 54 "sources" cited in the article aren't actually sources at all. Few (if any) give the subject "significant coverage" (mostly one-off mentions in lists of people) and others are clearly written by the subject, who is herself a "writer". Coverage of yourself is not coverage. Many, still, are duplications. If you removed all iterations of the unreliable, non-independent sources from the article you would be lucky to have one or two left. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:36, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete pure pr, for a pr based career. The sources, as might be expected all essentially all pr -based. It's time we stopped this sort of thing. I think we need an increased level of scrutiny for anyone claimed in the lede paragraph to be a social entrepreneur DGG ( talk ) 03:28, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

::comment Agreed. I have been prod/afd them as I find them. In reality, this one should have been prod'd but I err'd on the side of caution and did an AFD. Clearly with the amount of relistings... there is not a lot of dispute :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterWesco (talkcontribs) 22:44, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - very tricky article. Does have some genuine references but on blogs and IMDB site. The other references don't speak about this model so fails WP:Verify. -Wikishagnik 02:36, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
