I've listed this article for peer review because I have put all the information I could find, and I would just like some feedback (aiming for GA).

- Here are two drive-by comments: Is it possible for you to rely less on the primary sources like the Instagram profile itself, Braha's websites, or twitter accounts? We can only use such sources by the article subject itself for stating basic facts. It should rely more on those CNN, ABC and The Daily Mail refs (I'm assuming you couldn't find any more). Trimming maybe required.
- I doubt the image has a valid fair use rationale and may get deleted. Better confirm this and post on WP:IMAGEHELP. You'll need a free copyright license given from Braha, I guess, if there are no images taken by anyone else. If you're willing to contact the owner and request for it, this will help: WP:COPYREQ.

Some quick comments: (I have made some fixes; please double-check them.)
- For future reference, categories referring to the class of the article belong on talk pages, not on the articles themselves.
- To second what was said above, the image is probably not acceptable- per non-free content criterion 1, you cannot use non-free images which are replaceable. As Marnie is still alive, someone could take a photo, or, as was said above, someone who already has a picture of her may be happy to release one.
- Also seconding the above, the article does seem to lean a little heavily on primary sources. For example, we should report the number of followers/likes reported in third party sources, rather than relying on social media sites directly.
- The lead should reflect the contents of the article proper; as such, you generally won't need citations. Everything should be cited in the article itself, and, if it isn't, it should be. It should reflect the content of the article- for example, if it is the head-tilting that Marnie is famous for, it should say this.
Hope this is helpful. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:49, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
