Keep: neither the nominator, nor anyone else, have provided assurances that a reasonable search has been made for additional sources per WP:BEFORE

I'm willing to change my vote to delete if assurances are provided that those searches were made Jack4576 (talk) 08:06, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid justification. Timothytyy (talk) 09:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a valid procedural objection. This nominator has nominated at least a dozen pages all with similarly vague rationales and provided no evidence that they've followed BEFORE. The nominator has not responded to concerns raised in ongoing discussions. Many, if not most, of the nominations are already heading towards keep. This increasingly looks like a disruptive mass nomination. pburka (talk) 22:34, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

  The book notes: "Kristin Holt had made it as far as the semifinals on season 1. To Idol audiences, the former cheerleader and beauty queen had been distinguished for sliding under the judges' desk when she raced to hug them after her audition. After being eliminated, Holt did some on-air work with a local TV news show, getting a taste for hosting. When she read that Dunkleman would not be returning, she called up Lythgoe and requested his slot. "Come on the road with us, cohost," he told her. "We'll see how you do." There's some confusion, a decade later, what role Holt was signed on for, but media reports at the time make clear that she was brought aboard as the new cohost. After shooting some initial segments wearing the cohost's hat, when the audition episodes aired, Holt was relegated to the role of correspondent, filing occasional pieces on life at the Idol mansion."
  The book notes: "Ryan Seacrest's almost cohost, season 1 contender Kristin Holt, can now be seen as a correspondent on nerd central G4 network."

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Kristin Adams (née Holt) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Keep - I reviewed cited sources and did a WP:BEFORE as part of my WP:DEPROD and found what I considered to be significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. ~Kvng (talk) 20:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: BLP, fails GNG and BIO per the above source eval, which clearly shows no SIGCOV from IS RS. All sources presented are brief mentions in routine promotional news, and some involve subject directly, eg: "The personable Texas Christian University senior gave us the lowdown on the show." and others are affliated with the subject, [Day, John-Mark (2002-03-06). "More than just a Cowboys cheerleader". TCU Daily Skiff. Texas Christian University. Archived from the original on 2023-05-14. Retrieved 2023-05-14.]. And there is some promo listcruft, "13 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Who Went On to Bigger and Sometimes Better Things". None of the sources has significant direct and indpeth coverage of the subject from independent reliable sources. // Timothy :: talk 03:56, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
