Draft:Devon Lee Carlson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: @DoubleGrazing: My love of influencer 'culture' is not great, but if we want to be taken seriously by people who are, say, under 20 (25, 30?), we might be wise to give people like this a bit more attention. Devon Lee Carlson is – in some circles – hugely famous (for what exactly, I struggle to understand, but it seems to be a fact). I had never heard of her until a 20-somthing I met mentioned her (and was gobsmacked that I had never heard of her). Look her up (I just did). She's not going away, so maybe we ought to help this article over the line. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The sources look impressive, but boil down to interviews and churnalism, as one might expect from an 'influencer'. The subject may yet prove notable, but I cannot conclude that based on these sources. What's worse, this draft contains very little of encyclopaedic value, consisting mainly of celeb gossip and name-dropping. As such, I feel this would be an A7/G11 speedy candidate, if accepted.
