The article Spray Paint Man has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

So, following the previous argument. The main criteria for articles' acceptance is reknownability. Right? If that's the case you should delete any Ratnasiri Wickremanayake reference or Rafael Ithier because you might not know who they are yet they have entries. An encyclopedia, as described by dictionary.com is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects or on numerous aspects of a particular field. It was never meant to be a popularity database or search engine. In that case we might as well use google.


 * As I posted on the article talk page: The idea that someone with a video on youtube, that seems to be the subject of no buzz, no attention, and no press, is comparable to the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, or a salsa musician with hundreds of thousands of fans and forty albums, is ludicrous. Yes, we attempt to limit our coverage to notable subjects that many, many people are likely to search for information about. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Of course, there are articles on non-notable subjects that slip through. Doesn't justify another.
 * You might want to educate yourself on what Wikipedia is and is not, rather than what you would like it to be. Here are a few links:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * What Wikipedia is not.
