- Delete the sources cited are a mix of celeb gossip (and mainly about her husband, at that) and primary sources, which do not establish WP:GNG notability. I would also suggest that the title is salted (possibly along with the others, at least Sabirina Dhowre and Sabrina Dhowre Elba), as this is getting a bit disruptive. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 15:02, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Per the sources cited above, I would argue that there is enough to keep the page. Hence, my !vote is keep. In addition, this page was sadly deleted on May 1st (as a user was said to recreate a deleted page) and without much discussion. I would further argue that the deletion of this page on February 28 was done with very little participation, with only five users participating. I thank the OP for copying this information from DRV, as that was my post on there. As a note, here is what Courcelles (the OP of this AfD) said about the re-opening of this as an AfD: "Restored and a new AFD will be procedurally started. The issue here is less the close of the discussion than the inadequacies of the discussion itself. So this close isn’t an overturn, there’s no argument advanced that Randykitty could have made another close based on the discussion. However, there’s enough discussion here to run the newer version through the process again." My comment on the DRV, apart from the links, which have been mentioned by the OP, was as follows:
I am fine with completely reconstructing the page from scratch, but I can only do that if I am sure that it won't be deleted the same day I work on it, ensuring my work goes down the drain. I would see if I could find more, but to even find these, my web browser crashed, and I almost lost ALL of the above, so I'm not going to try again, so I don't really want to try and search for more. I thought I'd at least give this a try and am only marginally hopeful this will be successful, as I've had bad experiences with AfDs before. And no, I am NOT related to ANY of the people that created this page before, I just saw it was re-created today, edited it, and then lo and behold, it was deleted again. I would think (and hope) that @ User:QalasQalas and @ User:Turktimex3 created these pages in good faith, as an aside. Anyway, I hope to have this matter resolved soon.

- Weak Keep - When there is a lot of churnalistic publicity about a person, it is easier to create and keep a short article than to deal with the constant attempts to game the system, and there is some secondary coverage of her, just not much.

- I'm not sure how the sources are primary. And while I'm unaware of "celeb gossip" being a reason to discount a source, the "mainly" means that not solely and we have 20+ sources, so are you saying there aren't two good ones in there? Did you look at the ones I and Jclemens have called out? A bunch of bad sources (and I'll disagree most of them *are* bad) doesn't reduce the relevance of the good ones.

If downweighting celeb gossip, the reason would probably be NOTNEWS, though application dependent on judgement and somewhat subjective, so closers should likely expect some supporting analysis.

- Generally, it is considered necessary for at least some of the content of the article to have originated from an intellectually independent source (i.e. not direct quotes) for it to count as independent for any of our coverage based notability guidelines that require that.

Idris Elba if that can be done but as it stands on her own as an individual person she is't notable and the sources imho prove that. –
