The nom's comments immediately preceding demonstrate not only failure to comply with  but also an approach that is incompatible with basic policy of our deletion policy and guidelines.  Assuming that "the best available sources have already been added to the article" is contrary to empirical experience and shows a failure to evaluate the subject individually. A cursory GScholar search turns up numerous references in academic coverage of popular culture. "Playing dress-up: digital fashion and gamic extensions of televisual experience in Gossip Girl's Second Life", "Gossip Girls in a transmedia world: The sexual and technological anxieties of integral reality", or "Drama is the cure for gossip: Television's turn to theatricality in a time of media transition" may not be your idea of rewarding reading (nor mine!), but dismissing a sizable body of academic criticism without examining it is not a legitimate approach to notability analysis
