Biography of a recently deceased performer, with no properly referenced claim to passing our notability standards for entertainers. The only substantive notability claim on offer here is that she worked as a drag queen and DJ in one city's local club scene, which is not "inherently" notable work -- people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they had jobs, but require evidence of distinctions, such as noteworthy awards and/or enough media coverage about them to clear WP:GNG. But of the three footnotes here, #1 is just a photograph of her and #3 is her death notice on a WordPress blog, neither of which are notability-supporting sources at all. And while #2 is a real magazine article that is actually about her, it takes a lot more than just one such source to get a person over GNG in lieu of actually having to have a real notability claim.
Note that per WP:WAX, the fact that there's an article on the French Wikipedia is not in and of itself a reason why there has to be one on the English Wikipedia too — especially since the French article also has a "notability is in question" tag on it.

Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing. --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
