I don't think you can contest the fame of Yasmin Warsame. She has been on the covers of all the major magazines (American, Italian Vogue, Elle etc. etc.) and on the catwalks of several of the most famous couture designers. On top of that she one of the few African topmodels. Quite notable and enough reason to include her in Wikipedia.
Please consult somebody who knows the fashion industry before you make a decision.
I removed the speedy delete tag because it seems clear that there was an assertion of notability in the article, albeit it was a bit buried in the text. S710, you may want to familiarize yourself with some of Wikipedia's standards (ie, the
Manual of Style and
Guide to Layout) to make sure no one else contests the article. For instance, the first few sentences should state Warsame's occupation and prominence.

Per
recent discussion, I can find no justification for the listings under the See also section. Failing substantial reasoning, I will remove them again shortly. -

Actually, per the
discussion, you have been given substantial reasons (not that that was even necessary; the connection between the models is obvious to anyone). Anyone can see that they're related articles; you're the only one who can't, or rather refuses to. You also haven't provided any substantial reasons for their removal. You've only insisted that they're "not related", and alluded to some bizarre
Alice Cooper connection. What on Earth does Alice Cooper have to do with any of these women let alone
Iman? Is he a woman? No. Is he Somali? No. Is he a model? No. Is he in any way related to any of these women? No. Worked with them, perhaps? No. Are they inspirations/mentors for him? No. Like I said, no reasons have been provided for the removal of these See Also links (which isn't even supported by
WP:SEEALSO anyway), only for their inclusion.

Both born in Mogadishu, both moved to Toronto right around the same time, same last name, and they even
went to the 2009 Polaris gala together. Can anybody clarify if and how she's related to
K'naan? Sister, cousin, just a coincidence?
