The result was delete. The outcome is obvious, but I need to note that I find it rather shocking that the "sources" for this article about an Moldovan/Italian hairdresser and model were a bunch of Indian publications, including supposedly reliable newspapers like The Times of India and The Statesman, that were simply reproducing very obvious promotional material by the subject. I'm collecting these sources for posterity: ^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]} This is not the first time I've seen something like that. We may need to start a discussion about whether to deprecate Indian sources altogether in situations where self-promotion could be an issue. Sandstein 09:24, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A hairdresser who, er, wants to open her own salon. Patently non-notable. Laughable sources too, as analyzed on the talk page. - Biruitorul ^Talk 21:08, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The sources are interesting as examples of the kind of garbage you can get published in supposedly "generally reliable" sources like The Statesman. And again, funny how they're from India while the subject lives in Italy. Vexations (talk) 22:32, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete We do not create articles on people on the way to notability. In the case of Blosenco we are not even sure she is actually on her way to notability, but it is clear she is not there yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Lots of people in service jobs have become famous (Bad Bunny was a "bagger" five years ago and last night he was in the Superbowl LIV half-time show; Lil Nas X was a college dropout who scored two Grammys last month). But we don't give them an article until they are actually notable. Bearian (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete this foolishness. I bet she wrote it herself. ⌚️ (talk) 18:59, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
