• Keep. The subject came in 3rd place in the first season of America's Next Top Model and parlayed that into a few years of an actual modeling career, mostly in Hong Kong where she appeared on the cover of Harper's Bazaar. She also stayed in the public eye for a while by blogging. Just a few days ago, PopSugar referred to her as "[p]erhaps the most successful of all the Top Model contestants". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:30, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This one has been tough - while I see the point about having some success, being a runner-up and having a brief modeling career - even with publishing a book - doesn't seem notable. Especially since the aforementioned PopSugar article suggests she isn't in the public eye anymore. I'll cite Wikipedia:Subjective importance#Fame, notably about being time-bound and the line "Brief public exposure ... does not make one notable."

Also, I'm unconvinced that the people.com reference truly says that "she carved out a successful modeling career in East Asia" - seems to me like it was a fleeting career. = paul2520 (talk) 04:29, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Has been nominated before. Then and now meets the WP:GNG. gidonb (talk) 23:33, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
