[edit]

I'm not sure that this unreferenced BLP meets WP:ENTERTAINER. She has appeared in two Cirque du Soleil productions, one opposite the lead, and performed in other circuses; however, I'm not sure that's particularly notable. (By comparison, other CdS performer bios have clear claims to notability.) Awards are for "International Festival", which I think is the Paris Festival? Search didn't turn up much. It's been tagged for notability issues since December 2007 with no improvements.

If circus performances count as stage performances, then this is probably a keep. However, that doesn't appear to be the current standard. Looking through the first few pages of the Google search didn't pull up anything that I would consider RS. Mostly fan reviews, blogs, social networking sites and videos. لenna vecia 16:28, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Wikipedia:BLP#Deletion - has been unsourced for months with no interest shown in sourcing it. Kevin (talk) 03:05, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Circus performances of the type Cirque Du Soleil does are just as notable as any stage performance. The only relevant question is how important her role was in the production. We already have one female leading credit listed. Together with the medals that is notable. That "no one is working on it" as said by Kevin, is not a valid reason for deletion. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that it's a BLP left unsourced for more than a year is, particularly when reliable sources don't appear to be available outside of, perhaps, sourcing her CdS roles. لenna vecia 11:59, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I found what sources I could. Pretty much just the CdS site. I found a NYT article that listed her as being in the cast, but she wasn't mentioned in the article itself. I can't find anything on these competitions in English. The one page that seemed official was too large for Google to translate. They are not part of the Gymnastics World Championships, which are listed at WP:ENTERTAINER. I did correct the name, however. I'm really not finding anything that indicates she's notable. We're talking literally less than a handful of reliable sources to be pulled from Google, and mostly from one website; and I seriously doubt there's anything in print. لenna vecia 13:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

I found these google news hits, so I think it's probably best I withdraw this AFD. لenna vecia 04:21, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
