Alex Sanz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no evidence, either in the article or elsewhere, that Sanz satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The cited sources are: Sanz's profile pages on the web sites of four businesses he has worked for; three pages merely briefly mentioning his name; his profile page on a site called "Muck Rack", which says of itself "Muck Rack's mission is to make journalists, PR pros and marketers more successful" and "Journalists use Muck Rack to: build their portfolio, get verified in Muck Rack's authoritative directory ... find career opportunities" (etc); two pages which do not mention him. From a Google search the first page of hits were: Twitter; LinkedIn; YouTube (twice); Facebook; a brief announcement on adweek of a new job he had got; his own web site (www.alexsanz.com); the page bigstory.ap.org/journalist/alex-sanz, which has no content about him at all except his name. Going on to the next page of Google hits, most were about other people called Alex Sanz, one was his profile page on the web site of a company he has worked for, one was this Wikipedia article, one was an article jointly written by Sanz, not about him. The next pages of hits had even less content relating to this Alex Sanz, as opposed to other people of the same name. It is clear that he is a fairly ordinary career journalist, without substantial coverage in independent reliable sources.

 * Delete Per James, I think you summed it all up nicely, does not meet notability guidelines.-- Lerd the nerd wiki defender  13:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * There are less notable journalists with articles here, including Ilona Carson, Jessica Willey and others at KTRK-TV, Dagmar Midcap, Jovita Moore and Toni Neal, among many others. Are all articles of journalists being assessed for notability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.97.235 (talk) 18:09, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The issue of whether other articles are on non-notable subjects or not is off-topic for this discussion. However, I will briefly say that at least four of the five articles on journalists that you linked to do indeed provide less evidence of notability than the article Alex Sanz, so proposing them for deletion would be perfectly reasonable. As for whether articles are being assessed for notability, that depends entirely on individual editors seeing an article and assessing it, as you have done for the articles you mention.

 * Delete - This is more more appropriate for a LinkedIn profile than a wikipedia page. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:20, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
