This BLP is about a castmember of the MTV reality television show, The Jersey Shore. All the salient information is already included in the parent article, and it's not clear how this goes beyond WP:ONEEVENT. Should be redirected, in my opinion, and possibly revived if she does something notable beyond appearing on the Jersey Shore. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I can't believe I'm even weighing in here (I wondered in after adding a bit about an incident at the Sony Building). But the standard is third party coverage. And Lord knows there's substantial third party coverage.Americasroof (talk)

• Keep - For lack of a better phrase, she was a "breakout star" of that show. Much as it pains me to say it because I'd love to take a nuke to the entire guido subculture, she's achieved individual notability. And WP:BLP1E? Really? To quote said policy "if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them". Does anyone really see the remotest possibility of her remaining low profile? Anyone? Bueller? Thought not. Umbralcorax (talk) 00:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - This AfD is completely unnecessary. If you actually read the article stub (such as it is), you will find that it says almost nothing of Snooki. I originally created the page as a redirect to Jersey Shore (TV series), and since thew few sentences that were added since then describe the show in genral, not the woman, I think simply restoring my redirect to Jersey Shore would be appropriate, until someone actually bothers to write an article about Snooki. If that dreadful day ever comes, then hold an AfD. PS, I hate Wikipedia. K, bye.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 00:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Jersey Shore (TV series) per The Fat Man. By the way, if at a later date an article is created that is really about Snooki, as opposed to being mostly about the show she is on, it should probably be called Nicole Polizzi instead. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:44, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I created the Snooki page as I thought she had gained such notability, that fans would like to view more biographical information about her. So I went on with it, and created a stub page, notably without any new information, because I figured I'd work on that later on. I understand the reasoning for deletion of this page, but shouldn't there be a biographical section of this person on the Jersey Shore page, then, to which the Snoooki page can redirect? --Olijven (talk) 08:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)--[reply]

  There is a cast section, here, with short bios. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to the Jersey Shore article, with no prejudice to creating a new article in the event that Snooki's star continues beyond the show's run. Warrah (talk) 22:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - If the article is to be kept, it needs to sound more scholarly. Right now it reads like a high school student wrote it. There are almost no references, and sentences like "She no longer suffers from anorexia, and is instead slightly flabby as can be clearly seen by the viewer in episode 1 during the hot tub scene" should not be in an encyclopedia. Perhaps after the second season of the show airs, there will be more information to report, but for now most of the stuff on this page can be found on the main Jersey Shore article.128.61.32.143 (talk) 08:47, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep I think Snooki is, and will continue to be, notable enough for her own article; I agree with Umbralcorax that she's a breakout star from the show and we'll be suffering her public presence for quite awhile yet. But the article in its current form doesn't have much information beyond what's in the Jersey Shore article, and what additional "information" it does have should probably be removed. Still, most of the time when I've nominated articles worse than this for deletion on the grounds that they provide no value to anyone, I've been overruled on the basis that it's theoretically possible that someone could someday write a decent article on the topic, so in that spirit I say keep it. Propaniac (talk) 21:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: There are more minor characters of other series that have their own articles. She is significant enough to have her own article Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 23:43, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
