This person is not notable, according to a thorough online search. There are no publications to support her claims of work. Fails general notability guidelines. PlayOboe ( talk) 12:44, 3 August 2022 (UTC) Blocked sock. Beccaynr ( talk) 00:21, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Difficult to assess as an actress, probably does not meet WP:ENT. Filmography looks incomplete and lacks details, but appears to be a product of good faith efforts; finding reliable secondary sources is challenging. Primary-sourced evidence of acting career in the form of a "portfolio" of excerpts on her YT channel, appears to be mostly TV rather than movies; unclear if in major or minor roles. Recipient in 2013 of "most popular actress" category in Cambodian entertainment awards show, but some controversy over this as it was decided by popular vote. Interestingly, a recent news article chose to cite her appearance in an MV rather than some more substantial acting achievement. Youtube search finds evidence of non-acting appearances (talk/variety shows) on television (MyTV, PNN) supporting some amount of celebrity status. As a fashion model, there are primary-source claims via interview/spokesperson that she has attended shows in multiple foreign countries; was able to substantiate Vietnam Int'l Fashion Week 2016. "The Secret of the Night" award also appears to be fashion-related ( YT) but does not seem remarkable. With respect to invited to participate in events and invited to opening ceremonies of retail outlets it is unclear whether attending as a guest or for modeling work, may be a mix of both. Clearly not of supermodel-tier notability.
Having failed to find enough evidence to support notability based on specific critieria, we look to WP:GNG. Has coverage spanning a decade across multiple news outlets. Gets attention for dressing extravagantly and flaunting her figure, so need to filter out sources (e.g. sabay, khmerload) where coverage is basically a thinly veiled excuse for photo galleries. There is SIGCOV in articles written specifically about her in entertainment sections of newspapers, though much of it is celebrity gossip that I think we'd rather not include in the article:
  • Generic celebrity/socialite coverage. [1] Wears expensive clothes, [2] or is she just exaggerating the price? [3]
  • Scandal involving an affair with a married man who had abandoned his family [4] [5]
  • Charity work [6] [7] [8]
  • Criticism from conservatives about immodesty, materialism, abandoning traditional values etc [9] [10]
  • Not active in local acting scene [11] [12]
  • Revelation that she is a single mother [13]
These come from Khmer language edition of The Phnom Penh Post (oldest English newspaper), as well as Koh Santepheap Daily (widest circulation) and Kampuchea Thmey Daily. The subject has sufficient celebrity status in Cambodia to warrant sustained coverage; although this could well be a case of famous for being famous (or scandalous) since her acting output isn't treated by sources as of particular note — found no in-depth discussion of any acting role she has taken. —  2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 ( talk) 17:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Getting attention for "dressing extravagantly and flaunting her figure" is not a notability criteria on Wikipedia. On that logic, we've to include all Instagram stars on Wikipedia. PlayOboe ( talk) 17:34, 6 August 2022 (UTC) Blocked sock. Beccaynr ( talk) 00:21, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Not all Instagram stars receive sustained significant coverage in reliable sources. That is the notability criteria being cited here. Stop trying to twist my words. —  2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 ( talk) 19:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
