User:Liashahrebani/AZAD RIGHT (Recording Artist)[edit]

Article about a guy that plans to release a mixtape. Fails GNG and is just promotional or vanity spam. Legacypac (talk) 22:28, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - failing GNG is not a reason to delete in userspace. Contrary to nomination statement, this is not an article but a draft. The page is more insipid than promotional. If others express concerns about promotion, blanking and templating with {{Userpage blanked}} would be fine. A2soup (talk) 15:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you can't articulate a reason why this page benefits the project and leads to a mainspace contribition you need to vote delete not keep. Suggesting blanking is just another way to delete but leaving it open for the editor to easy bring back the page someone else has to delete it again. We already have established that there is no policy that says GNG does not apply to drafts. If keep at MfD this page will be moved to mainspace. Legacypac (talk) 17:51, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Other editors seem to believe that if you can't articulate a reason why this page harms the project, then you need to vote keep. Speaking of which:
Keep, because I'm getting 119 ghits in Google News for this artist, including LA Weekly, Huffington Post, Entertainment Weekly, MTV and more. "In a hundred news articles" is not generally what editors mean by "fails GNG". Perhaps the nominator would like to consider a five-second trip to his favorite search engine WP:BEFORE assuming that a stale user draft contains every possible source for a subject.

Looks like he might have made it after this draft was created. Maybe someone should write up a proper article then. There is no credible claim to notability in the draft though. Legacypac (talk) 23:35, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This item shouldn't be deleted because the subject might not meet the GNG. It should be deleted because -- have the Keep proponents noticed? -- the creator of the draft put this up nearly five years ago and hasn't been seen since. If either of the Keep proponents want to move this to their OWN userpages, and commit to turning this into a mainspace article within a short period of time, I'm all for that.

Ravenswing you're new to MFD, aren't you? This debate occurs on practically every listing here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Create Draft:Azad Right separately if someone wants but the current article is three paragraphs of unsourced text. The sources could be used to create a new draft but the current one would basically be WP:TNTing it anyways. WhatamIdoing, do you really think it should be kept there? Else, I could live with a draftify move but I'd probably guess that this is a copyright violation from somewhere that will result in it being deleted later. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Probably notable subject. Should be adopted and improved by someone, but leave it in userspace until that someone volunteers. The page is not promotion, it is doing no harm. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:38, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Give it to me at User:MichaelQSchmidt/workspace/Azad Right. Sure the thing is unsourced, but it does seem that this person has enough media coverage to meet WP:BLP under WP:BASIC. I'd adopt it and be glad to bring it into line. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 00:14, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
