She was a contestant on one season of one reality television show, where she was runner-up. Besides that, she's had a handful of fairly small-scale modeling appearances. Does not appear to meet WP:ENTERTAINER, and the fairly insubstantial coverage makes me skeptical she passes the WP:GNG. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 22:24, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Obvious LLM slop The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

• She has significant media coverage, moreso than the winner of the season and was on the most popular streaming show of the summer of 2025. In addition, she's a notable alumna of her alma mater and has had speaking engagements and significant coverage in Black media publications, again something the other contestants have not. In terms of fashion influencing, she walked the runway at Sergio Hudson's show and trended on twitter twice for attending her first two shows; Theophilio and Off White. She has significant brand collaborations and her Vanity Fair youtube "Get Ready With Me" is the fourth highest "Get Ready With Me" in two years. 2603:8080:3EF0:7A20:A5EA:3312:FEFB:4751 (talk) 00:02, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — 2603:8080:3EF0:7A20:A5EA:3312:FEFB:4751 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• I am contesting the deletion of this article. Olandria has not only been nominated for the Ebony People's Choice Award but has also earned recognition from some of the most influential voices in media - Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New York Times, Essence Magazine, and more. These are not small mentions; they are signals that her impact reaches across culture, fashion, and influence. She as well walked the runway at New York Fashion Week for renowned designer Sergio Hudson - a stage reserved for only respected talent. Love Island is just a small mention compared to everything else she has already accomplished in a few short months.

• Removing PROD – Olandria Carthen meets notability as Love Island USA Season 7 runner-up and as a working model. She has partnered with Nic Vansteenberghe in campaigns (Kulani Kinis Swimwear, Agua de Kefir, NYX Cosmetics), walked in Sergio Hudson SS2025, received Ebony People’s Award nominations, and has been featured in outlets including Teen Vogue. Comparable contestant articles (e.g., Amaya espinal, Leah kateb, Kordell beckham) exist.

• Delete - The sources used don't meet Wikipedia's standards and overall she's not that notable of a public figure yet. I would wait to see what future projects she partakes in before creating this article. Kokaynegeesus (talk) 06:31, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Yet more obvious LLM slop The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

• Olandria is a nominee for people’s choice awards and has made notable contributions to the black community since leaving reality TV. She has walked in NYFW and is expected to walk at the Paris Fashion week. Featured on the vogue website and social media multiple times, as well as featured on various shows such as jimmy Kimmel and mentioned on the jimmy fallon show. Her relationship led to the highest views in reality TV history for the show she was featured on. She has more than earned this feature. Itunuadeyinka (talk) 07:55, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — Itunuadeyinka (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  Keep – There’s significant coverage of Carthen in independent, reliable outlets like Teen Vogue and Vogue, which goes beyond routine press. Since Love Island USA, she’s had sustained work as a professional model with campaigns (NYX, Kulani Kinis, Sergio Hudson) and coverage at New York Fashion Week, with Paris shows expected. She’s also received award nominations (Ebony People’s Choice) and has been featured on mainstream platforms like Jimmy Kimmel Live and Fallon.

  Other Love Island contestants with similar or even less coverage (e.g., Amaya Espinal, Leah Kateb) have kept pages, so precedent supports inclusion. Taken together, this satisfies WP:GNG and shows notability that’s independent of the show itself.

  Keep – Coverage in independent, reliable sources (Teen Vogue, Vogue) establishes notability beyond routine press. Carthen’s modeling career, award nominations, and participation in major fashion events show ongoing significance. Comparable Love Island contestants with similar sourcing have retained articles, satisfying WP:GNG. 94.197.81.26 (talk) 08:25, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — 94.197.81.26 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep - Carthen has become a notable public figure in 2025 and was called the breakout star by CNN of the most streamed television program in the US this summer, with CNN also calling her pairing a "cultural phenomenon" and a "beloved part of reality couple history". Carthen was also nominated for the prestigious Ebony Power 100 People's Choice Award, honoring people who are viewed to be "shaping the narrative of Black culture and excellence". This was alongside other notable public figures such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Audra McDonald, and Jasmine Crockett. The sources do meet Wikipedia's standards. There are correct citations from reliable published sources including: CNN, Vanity Fair, People, Marie Claire, Deadline, Sports Illustrated, and Yahoo. Carthen has had substantial media coverage and has also been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Essence, and Interview Magazine. Carthen also received significant media coverage as a model for her appearances on the runway for Sergio Hudson and front row at New York Fashion Week. Carthen's swimwear campaign as a model for Kulani Kinis also received coverage in Sports Illustrated and Teen Vogue. Ldnyellow (talk) 08:35, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep - Carthen has appeared as a guest on The Today Show, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Carthen has also had campaigns with Microsoft, highlighting the history of her HBCU alma mater Tuskegee University, and with NYX Professional Makeup featuring her own signature lip kit. In 2025 Carthen was named one of the 10 Best-Dressed Celebrities at the MTV VMAs by Elle Magazine, and was named as one of the best beauty looks at the VMAs by Vogue.

• I am contesting thefore not to be deletion because since leaving the villa of the love island show as a runner up with her partner,she has not only taken the fashion world by storm but she has also been nominated for the Ebony people's choice award that we are hopeful she'll win,got recognition and mentions from the biggest magazines like teenvogue,marie claire,essence but to name a few,she is a figure we hope helps young girls that beauty is not just external but internal too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by clisan young129.232.0.130 (talk) 09:48, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — ClisanYoung (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Olandria ia a break-out reality startled from the almost recent Love Island USA installment who has already leveraged her fame with notable partnerships including working with Microsoft Pilot + Tuskegee University, an HBSU and her alma-mata. She is a model who has walked for a notable designer Sergio Hudson at the New York Fashion week 2025. She has incredible social capital going by her social media following and impressions and is constantly a trending topic. Naturally, her success and star quality is a source of envy by others so it is not surprising her Wiki page was nominated for deletion -all malicious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:F87D:C200:5E0B:9D33:2A31:8B82 (talk) 10:21, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — 2A02:C7C:F87D:C200:5E0B:9D33:2A31:8B82 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - According to Wikipedia "standards", sources for a living person of any level of notoriety or celebrity should be based on reliable, independent and/or published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. A source is where the material comes from. All materials published for this page are accurate and from popular published sources.

Exhibit B: The Announcement article on this person's contract with talent agency is correct:

https://deadline.com/2025/08/love-island-usa-olandria-carthen-uta-digital-brand-architects-1236483334/

Exhibit C: This person's work with her alma mata Tuskee University and Microsoft copilot is correct and is being discussed on Microsoft Windows official forum pages:

This individual is on the rise to permanent stardom. She has many endorsements and is positively impacting the lives of millions of people (approximately 2.2 million people and more). She is a working model, influencer and content creator and has many articles so far to prove this. She's only going to be featured in more and more publictions going forward. To delete this page would mean having to republish it on wikipeadia over and over again until people requesting deletion for opinionated reasons give up. 86.27.192.157 (talk) 10:40, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — 86.27.192.157 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

She has an Ebony People's Choice award nomination. Had been recognized by multiple major fashion publications, including Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair and Marie Claire. She is also signed to DBA, the top influencer management company who have signed notable influencers such as Jackie Aina. Her impact on social media goes beyond "one season of a reality TV show." She has consistently raised awareness about Black American excellence and struggles- such as showcasing her Alma mater, Tuskegee University, speaking on the perceptions of black women on television in her interviews as well as making a conscious effort to promote black/POC designers during NYFW. She is only getting started and yet she has accomplished so much. Leeleenope (talk) 09:23, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — Leeleenope (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

She definitively meets all Wikipedia’s standards. Olandria deserves recognition for her impact across entertainment, fashion, and the Black community. Since Love Island USA, she has made significant contributions to the Black community and continues to build her legacy.

She made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week, leaving a strong impact, with features in Teen Vogue, People Magazine, and Interview Magazine highlighting her work, as well as coverage in major fashion publications including Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, and Marie Claire. Her TV appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and mentions on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, along with her Love Island USA storyline drawing record viewership, demonstrate her mainstream appeal.

Her nomination for the Ebony Power 100 People’s Choice Award and feature in EBONY further confirm her influence. With these accomplishments, Olandria has more than earned this feature. Ambermark (talk) 10:43, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — Ambermark (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Olandria Carthen is nominated alongside Audra McDonald, Elmiene, Jasmine Crockett, Olandria Carthen, Taylor Townsend, Tracee Ellis Ross for the BET People’s Choice Award.

Keep — Olandria Lashae Carthen clearly satisfies notability standards (WP:GNG / WP:ENT). The deletion nomination seems partly driven by fandom opposition, but the article is backed by multiple independent, credible sources. Below is a strengthened source-based case, including her fashion appearances and brand work:

• Agency & management representation: In August 2025, Carthen signed with Digital Brand Architects (DBA), a UTA-owned management firm.
• Brand campaigns & collaborations:

- **Agua de Kefir:** Olandria and Nic starred in the viral “Nicolandria” campaign for Agua de Kefir, widely covered by SI / SI.com, OK Magazine, etc.

- **NYX cosmetics:** They launched a “Nicolandria Lip Combo” in collaboration with NYX.

- **Future projects & buzz:** in the campaign article for Agua de Kefir, there is mention of a second wave of content from the brand.

• Fashion / public appearances:

- **New York Fashion Week / runway debut:** Olandria walked for Sergio Hudson at NYFW on Sept 12, as reported by People. Her outfit, styling, and front-row support are detailed in that write-up.

- **U.S. Open style appearance:** Teen Vogue covered her appearance at the U.S. Open wearing micro shorts and matching tweed, with styling by Matthew & Reginald Reisman.

- **Peekaboo trend / fashion coverage:** Teen Vogue also discussed her fashion choices (e.g. styling, trendsetting) and noted her runway / NYFW work.

• Existing & prior verified elements:

- Education, Tuskegee University, HBCU background, coverage by Marie Claire / HBCU Buzz / Blavity.

- Agency signing (DBA/UTA) as earlier documented.

- Brand work (Kulani Kinis etc.).

- Nomination for EBONY Power 100 People’s Choice Award.

- Multiple independent outlets (People, OK Magazine, SI, Teen Vogue, fashion / media press) covering her in non-fan contexts.

• • Conclusion:** The added references — her Agua de Kefir campaign, runway debut at NYFW, U.S. Open appearance, and fashion press coverage — further solidify her status as a public figure with sustained media presence beyond the show. Given that, the article should be retained.

Keep -I believe Olandria Carthen satisfies Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines for the following reasons:

Independent, reliable media coverage

She has been featured in established outlets like Teen Vogue (e.g. US Open coverage) and EBONY. These are independent, reliable sources providing coverage beyond routine mentions of Love Island.

Professional modelling / brand collaborations

She has worked on campaigns such as the Kulani Kinis x Nic Edit, which is a legitimate fashion campaign. She has also been highlighted in Sports Illustrated Lifestyle for her modeling work.

Runway & Fashion Week involvement

Carthen appeared at New York Fashion Week with Sergio Hudson, covered by Teen Vogue, which shows recognition by established designers and participation in major industry events.

Representation, voice, cultural impact

In EBONY, she has discussed resilience, representation, and the treatment of Black women, reflecting cultural impact beyond entertainment coverage.

Professional infrastructure

She is signed with Digital Brand Architects (UTA-owned), demonstrating that her career is professionally managed and continuing to develop.

Because of this, she meets notability requirements: multiple independent, reliable sources provide significant coverage, she has verifiable professional achievements, and her influence extends beyond her TV appearance. Deletion at this point would overlook clear evidence of notability and ongoing cultural relevance.

I oppose the deletion of this article. Olandria Carthen meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for television personalities and public figures.

1. Notability through National Television Exposure

Carthen rose to prominence as a contestant on Love Island (Season 7, 2025), a nationally broadcast reality show with a substantial following and consistent media coverage.

2. Cultural and Media Relevance

As a reality TV figure, Carthen contributes to discussions around modern media, representation in reality television, and modeling. The nickname “Bama Barbie” further demonstrates her growing cultural footprint, distinguishing her among viewers and media coverage.

3. Precedent of Similar Articles

Other Love Island contestants—both winners and notable runners-up—have sustained Wikipedia pages.

The article should be improved with additional sources, not deleted. Add the following sources

1. Essence - Love Island’s Olandria Carthen Gets Candid About Beauty Standards

2. Revolt- Love Island USA star Olandria Carthen shines spotlight on her Tuskegee / HBCU roots

3. People - Olandria Makes Her NYFW Debut for Sergio Hudson

4. EBONY website lists Olandria Carthen as a nominee for the 2025 Ebony Power 100 People’s Choice Award.

Her nomination for the 2025 Ebony Power 100 People’s Choice Award is further evidence that she is being recognized by established media and cultural institutions. She is nominated with other notable prominent individuals in the black community like Jasmine Crocket and Tracee Ellis Ross. This is not mere social media buzz but formal recognition by EBONY magazine VimbaiMalawusi (talk) 12:21, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — VimbaiMalawusi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - Olandria Carthen clearly satisfies WP:BIO notability standards. She has received significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources across entertainment, fashion, and cultural commentary:



Mainstream press: Profiled by USA Today / AOL for her New York Fashion Week runway debut (USA Today, Sept 2025).

National magazines: Featured in EBONY

Magazine multiple times, including an in-depth interview (EBONY, Sept 2025) and red carpet coverage at the VMAs (EBONY, Sept 2025), Vogue (Sept 2025), Harper's Bazaar (Sept 2025), Marie Claire (August 2025, Sept 2025), Elle (Sept 2025), Sports Illustrated (August 2025), Essence (July 2025).

Fashion &t culture outlets: Covered by Teen Vogue (Teen Vogue, Sept 2025), Marie Claire (Marie Claire, Aug 2025), and Just Jared (Just Jared, Sept 2025).



Cultural commentary: Profiled in Blavity for her HBCU experience (Blavity, Aug 2025) and Elite Daily for her career trajectory (Elite Daily, Sept 2025).

This is not trivial coverage: these are independent, editorially controlled outlets with national and international reach.

Coverage spans television, fashion, red carpet events, cultural identity, and personal interviews, demonstrating that Carthen's notability extends well beyond a single reality TV appearance.

Accordingly, the article should be kept. 2A00:23C5:E3F5:BB01:AC10:EB3F:6394:F9C (talk) 13:37, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — 2A00:23C5:E3F5:BB01:AC10:EB3F:6394:F9C (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  While it’s true that Olandria Carthen first gained recognition as a finalist on Love Island USA, her notability extends beyond that single appearance. Coverage of Carthen is not limited to “small-scale modeling” or passing mentions:

  Essence and EBONY have published in-depth features highlighting her influence as a rising Black woman in reality TV and modeling.

  Interview Magazine conducted a dedicated interview discussing her career trajectory, personal brand, and growing impact in entertainment.

  Deadline reported on her signing with UTA-owned Digital Brand Architects, a major Hollywood agency that represents top talent, which indicates industry recognition and career significance beyond one show.

  People, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter have all provided coverage of her professional activities, not just as filler content but as part of entertainment industry reporting.

  This breadth and depth of coverage demonstrates significant independent attention across multiple reliable sources, satisfying WP:GNG.

  In addition, per WP:ENTERTAINER, notability is not limited to winners or long-term series regulars. Contestants can be notable if their roles receive substantial reliable coverage, which Carthen has. Runner-up status in a nationally broadcast, widely covered series, plus sustained media attention after the show, clearly meets this standard.

  The article may benefit from expansion and careful sourcing, but deletion would overlook her demonstrated notability in both mainstream and trade press. AyeMarye (talk) 13:16, 29 September 2025 (UTC) — AyeMarye (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete per above. Also, besides said WP:LLM slop above, I am noticing an extremely large amount of WP:SPA and WP:MEATPUPPETRY from a lot of these keep votes, which is only tainting the vote. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 18:40, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: No sign of SIGCOV meeting the GNG, nor of meeting any of the criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER. Ravenswing 10:22, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. No indication of significance for this Z-list celebrity. scope_creep^Talk 16:38, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

  I checked Google Trends, and Olandria is receiving less than half as many searches as Huda Mustafa (an islander whose Wikipedia page has yet to be approved). Haydenmyoung (talk) 02:50, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

  SEO ranking or "popularity" do not affect notability. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 03:16, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per above arguments. I don't think the LLM !vote slop is helping this page's case either. 208.56.148.137 (talk) 14:52, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
• Delete Does not meet WP:ENTERTAINER and per above does not meet GNG. And all this LLM voting doesn't help anything. GothicGolem29 (talk) 02:03, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
