Tomika Skanes[edit]

Not notable, probable vanity. --fvw * 17:18, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)

Delete vanity abstain, but her website has a no-right-click script on it. Kappa 17:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Comment: Contents blanked as copyvio. Kappa 18:00, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete for linking to a webpage with uselessly rude javascript (oh, and vanity too). Wyss 22:55, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete. for some reason the Vfd tag got removed, now back on. Vanity and a half.--ZayZayEM 02:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. She has appeared in numerous big-name magazines and videos, which qualifies her as notable enough for Wikipedia. I'm glad I found this article and find it interesting. - Cow 04:41, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Comment: Cow above rewrote it and removed the copyvio tag, but the copyvio content remains in the history. Kappa 05:08, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what exactly what the policy is on that but I know a lot of pages have copyright violations in the page history. See Wikipedia:Copyright_violations_on_history_pages - Cow 05:36, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep. As aforementioned, she has appeared with big-name artists in videos, as well as in big name print ads.JoelKirk--16:54, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete, ~~vanity~~, not notable. Megan1967 02:59, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comment:There are a few people on Wikipedia not widely known, yet they are in the movie, music, or modeling business. Not too mention, they usually bring out a certain diverse outlook because of their heritage and/or acheivements.JoelKirk 04:20, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I was the one who wrote the article, and can't see how it can be a vanity entry. I think she is well enough known as a model and on the online community to have a Wikipedia page.--JoelKirk 17:33, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep (from previous abstain) especially since I can't think of any other famous Afro-Asian people. Kappa 05:16, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comment: famous people with African and Asian backgrounds: Tiger Woods, Foxy Brown, Kelis Rogers — J3ff 22:50, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't know that about Tiger Woods Kappa 00:27, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
