This is supposed to be a biography of a living person who is independently notable in their own right. Despite a long list of references, this article is not that. There is not a single reference in the current version which is not either: about Kate's sister or the Middleton family/business; about her role in the wedding; or coverage deriving from tabloid motivated interest (who's she dating, what her fashion sense is, and other such tabloid level topics). And like it or not, Wikipedia is not a tabloid - it doesn't matter how much coverage the likes of the Daily Mail devote to someone, Wikipedia does not use that as the test for whether a person is notable or not. Take out the tabloid sources, and you are left with an article which uses a patchwork of partial coverage to present a novel conclusion - that Pippa is notable in her own right. It's not supportable. And infact, for biographies at Wikipedia, the Daily Mail is not considered a reliable source at all, and therefore much of the content of this article is on very shaky ground indeed and should be removed whatever the outcome of this Afd (although obviously, to do so would make her appear non-notable, and thus deleteable).
