All these claims that she is a “top model” but nothing to show for it (maybe because it’s not actually true!). Per my research, she hasn’t done much to solidify NMODEL, only a smattering of jobs; there was that Super Bowl commercial years ago but it’s not like any reliable publication such as Vogue or GQ went in depth on her to even have reliable sources. Of what I could muster up from Romanian sources, she’s more known for her romantic exploits than her career. Trillfendi (talk) 01:00, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails WP:NMODEL. I cannot find references to her outside of sources in article. Perhaps a Romanian speaker can help find Romanian sources, but that would indicate less than "worldwide" significance. Skirts⁸⁹ 12:43, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because subject fails WP:NMODEL. A stellar effort by subject's fans but ultimately there is next to nothing supporting notability. Let's walk around other-language Wikipedias to appreciate the effort: In the Spanish one, the only citations are a simple listing in Fashion Model Directory, which, like IMDB, is not reliable, and to a Gawker inheritor (here). In the Italian one, almost all citations are about her relationhsip to TV presenter Piero Chiambretti (e.g. here) or advertorials such as this and this. The Romanian Wikipedia lists a report about her relationship to footballer Massimo Brambati (here). The Swedes simply threw in the towel and put up a source-less stub. We even get AskMen (yep).Not much to go on, I'm afraid. -The Gnome (talk) 13:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
