Old notability question

I don't think this woman meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. This article was made by a publicist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.2.191 (talk) 02:26, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So take it to AFD and get comprehensively squelched. Mabalu (talk) 08:43, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2) Under Personal Life

Remove this sentence: "In 2001 she met and through 2005, worked intimately with Renato Escobar Iregui, who proposed and inspired the OliveYou and BarXV range of wellness and well-purposed; life served products." It has no source and is not accurate- Norma did not go into business with this person. Remisamantha (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Remisamantha I have reverted your edits, as they were promotional in tone. The point of making edit requests is lost if you just bypass the process and edit the page directly. Sometimes these things take a few hours or days; please be patient and refrain from editing the page yourself.

I have retained (a more neutral) mention of the publication of Kamali's book, as the interview in Elle indicates that it is notable. I have not included the podcast, as it is not evidently notable. AntiDionysius (talk) 23:56, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great thank you for your help. 100.12.16.146 (talk) 14:49, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
