Totally agree, but you emphasized 2 hits as if this person was invisible on the internet which is clearly not the case. My other points are much more relevant though. MNewnham (talk) 01:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: There are multiple issues. Wikipedia is not a venue for
reliable sources for a BLP. -- Otr500 (talk) 01:49, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Comment - for whoever reviews this, https://trove.nla.gov.au/?keyword=alexandra%20de%20blas is interesting to see, regardless of whatever the comments above might infer, or whichever direction... JarrahTree 14:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reply : To
independent sources to stem notability concerns. I have been trying to add sources I find to some of the authors articles because apparently it is almost a year since the last edit (March 3, 2023) so I found no help in the source. Maybe someone would have better luck -- Otr500 (talk) 00:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

My apologies, I have no idea why you cannot access trove: https://trove.nla.gov.au/people/484872 - or indeed call it strange names: Trove is an online aggregator - and should be utilised in afds involving Australian subjects, as google based systems do not necessarily collect aspects of Australian material JarrahTree 03:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Like LibStar and Otr500 I was unable to find significant independent coverage in reliable sources. I checked

Delete - I added a few sources to the article, and have searched for
notability guidelines, we need more sustained, independent, reliable, and secondary sources. Beccaynr (talk) 02:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
