If you're trying to argue that this should be accepted because of the state of some other article, it would help if you provided me a link to an article that actually exists instead of a red link...but also, please read WP:WAX and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Bearcat (talk) 00:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Okay, that's better, now I can explain what the difference is. The thing is, we actually have two different kinds of notability on here: some people have "inherent" notability claims, which means they've accomplished something Wikipedia considers to be so important that an article about them has to be allowed to exist and the quality and depth of sourcing present in it isn't as important as the fact of what they did, and other people have "non-inherent" notability claims, which means that their includability is much more dependent on the quality and depth of their sources.
 * "Inherent" notability claims would be important awards or distinctions, like getting elected to a national parliament or legislature as an MP or congressperson, winning a major national music or film/television or literary award, or competing at the Olympics, that make a person much more "special" than the norm. So if a person is properly verifiable as having achieved one of those "inherently" notable things, then their article gets to exist even if it has just one source in it. (It still needs more than that before it could be considered a good article by any stretch of the imagination, but it doesn't need more than that to be a keepable article.) And you're certainly free to believe that simply being present at the Olympics, but not actually winning a medal, shouldn't be considered "inherently" notable — you wouldn't even be alone in that, because people actually argue about it all the time around here — but unfortunately, whether you agree with it or not, there has not been a new consensus established yet to overturn the old one.
 * "Not inherent" notability claims, meanwhile, would be people whose notability claims don't include any significant national honours or distinctions, but instead the notability claim you're aiming for is just that they've done things. Musicians who haven't won any notable awards, so they're trying for "because their music is available for sale in music stores" as a notability claim; actors who haven't won any notable awards, so the notability claim you're shooting for is "because he's been in films and TV shows"; politicians who haven't served at the national level, and instead their notability claim is "she was mayor of a small town". People like that can certainly still get into Wikipedia if they have enough reliable source coverage in real media to support an article with, but they're not automatically entitled to have articles the way the "inherently" notable people are: if the notability claim is a "not inherent" one, then their sourcing has to be much more solid and on point than a person with an "inherent" notability claim would have to show.
 * So, basically, if you're trying to prove that an actor qualifies for a Wikipedia article, it's not a useful comparison to point out that an Olympic athlete's article only has one source in it. Whether they should be or not, Olympic athletes are accepted by Wikipedia as being "inherently" notable — but actors are considered to be not "inherently" notable, and instead their includability depends on the quality of the sourcing they can or can't show. Apples to apples: what you would need to look at for guidance about what you need to do is other articles about actors — and even if you can find another actor whose article isn't sourced any better than this, WP:WAX and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS would still apply: instead of finding an article which constitutes proof that this one needs to be kept, what you may really have found is another article that needs to be deleted.
 * As well, we also have a rule that notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not necessarily the current quality of the article — some people have articles that look really bad in their current states, but actually do have really good sources out there that we just haven't added to their articles yet. (If you come across any bad articles about Canadian MPs or US Congresspeople, for example, they're in this boat: the sources are there, because Canadian MPs and US Congresspeople always have media coverage — so the fact that we haven't been doing a very good job of using their media coverage to improve the article with doesn't make them less notable.) So that's another reason why you can't just compare your draft to the current state of some other article about a completely different topic — that other person might have much more solid coverage out there that we just haven't actually been using.
 * I hope that helps a bit. I get that a lot of our rules can look random and arbitrary if you're not familiar with the way the place actually works — but I assure you that there's actually a logically coherent basis for them even if it doesn't look like it.

Braden Paes moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Braden Paes, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
