Tagged for notability concerns. This seems to be a classic case of WP:BLP1E. Wikipedia is not the news. Most of the sources provided do not provide significant coverage and use exactly the same wording. Super Mario Man ( talk ) 00:54, 17 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Simply being on the cover of a magazine is not a claim of notability that satisfies a Wikipedia inclusion criterion in and of itself. She might potentially qualify for an article on the basis of whatever achievement made her a person that the magazine would want to feature on its cover — but this article as written just rests her notability on the magazine cover itself, and doesn't even begin to suggest what the "why she made the cover" part of the story would be. And even the sources are all just blurbs which just describe her as a "popular transgender", without actually including any nouns to suggest what she's popular for. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can actually write and source a substantive article which actually makes a substantive claim of notability.

  • Delete. As pointed out above, it's a clear case of WP:BLP1E, backed by essentially just one source. Favonian ( talk) 11:41, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply
