Fails WP:BIO, not to mention article is redundant since the subject is already covered in Small Teen, Bigger World. The creator has had several articles rejected due to non-neutral tone and lack of reputable sourcing. The proposed deletion was repeatedly removed by single-purpose accounts with edit histories consisting of only this article. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 06:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete A sad story with a sad end, but does not meet WP:GNG. WP:NOTAMEMORIAL. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 10:50, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Small Teen, Bigger World, as she does not appears to have an independent notability outside the show, and the article about the show already provides more biographical informations about her than this entry. Her name is clearly a likely search term, and there is no reason to delete it/remove it altogether. Cavarrone 11:13, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Merge andredirect, to the extent of including the info about Jazz's book which is the one point in this article not covered by the article on the TV show. Be sure to include redirects from all versions of her name, too, just as if it was a bio: Jasmine Burkitt (which ought to have Category:People with dwarfism, and the birth and death year cats), but also Jasmine Emily Wakefield-Burkitt, Jasmine Emily Burkitt, Jazz Burkitt, Jasmine Wakefield-Burkitt, Jazz Wakefield-Burkitt.

- OK,
WP:SOFIXIT: I've added the book to the TV show article, and made all those redirects to the
Jasmine Burkitt article.
WhenIf/when it becomes a redirect to the TV show article, the double redirects will automatically get converted to point to the TV show article. Redirects are good. (And I have a lousy cold - yes, several negative LFTs - so am spending a lot of time immobile at the computer today as moving around makes it worse.)

- Keep - because, sometimes, it is appropriate to break from protocol, and I believe this to be one such occasion. We may be contributors to an encyclopaedia, but we are human beings first and foremost, and I believe we should value compassion and respect above - far, far above - the rules and regulations we impose on ourselves, always. Montgomery15 ( talk) 11:53, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- What does this even mean? Hardly a viable rationale for keeping the article, and as previously mentioned, Wikipedia is
not a memorial.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete While we do value compassion and all that stuff, she's not notable here. This isn't a feel-good exercise, NPOV applies. Oaktree b ( talk) 16:53, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - I caught this in New Page Patrol. I realize that many Wikipedians have disdain for reality TV "stars" — people who are bit-players in ensemble casts of series. This, however, was a star of a show called Small Teen, Bigger World and an individual whose premature death was covered massively by the press. This strikes me as a classic case of WP:GNG versus IDON'TLIKEIT — and in that case mark me down for the principle of GNG every time. Carrite ( talk) 14:31, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Small Teen, Bigger World. It's the show that made her notable, and there is more useful information there than on this page, so a redirect seems perfectly reasonable. I don't see the "I don't like it" argument - the show is a documentary about her, so having a single article seems more appropriate unless there is so much content that splitting them seems necessary. -- asilvering ( talk) 04:35, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
