Alex Serpa

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Doesn't pass WP:N. No gBooks hits, gNews hits, and all gWeb hits are self promotional, copies of Wikipedia, or videos of him performing. SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Please advise why only "google" is referenced as a place to locate information about Alex Serpa, in regard to news and books; gweb hits? I discovered that there is much more information available via yahoo to weed through. I believe an "award winning" performance of Barbra Streisand is mentioned, and all resources should be researched before this article is deleted. I did see a reference to an appearance on the Oprah show. Making more than a cursory search of 'google' should be done on this individual and possibly locating the "award" mentioned. Further research should be done and notated before deletion occurs. Brattysoul (talk) 06:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If you can find a reliable independent source regarding a notable award, then by all means use whatever search engine floats your boat :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 14:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I did do a search of Las Vegas newspapers, and really didn't find much on Alex. That isn't to say he isn't a celeb in Vegas-a place I have been to many times over, and I have only seen Frank Marino's show being listed as the longest running drag show in Vegas, and never heard of Freezone's show myself. Which doesn't mean Alex's show isn't the longest running cabaret drag show. Now the cabret club Freezone considers Alex a celeb and actually made a big deal of his return to their club from his "tour". He may be considered something of a name in the LGBT community, however I did not find him listed on nndb.com, a large database of the famous and infamous notables within the LGBT community. Althoughe Frank Marino isn't listed there either. ;)

As to the "award" it seems to be nothing more than an online drag queen themed award, and not as notable as say, a Tony? ;)

I will search again, but it would seem deletion may be inevitable for Alex. Brattysoul (talk) 16:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as non-notable. I've done a google search, and a brief yahoo search, and only came up with this article:, from what looks like a local newspaper, and the article doesn't doesn't focus much on Alex, but is about a revue he was part of. I've removed part of the article that seemed to be copied (either verbatim, or with minor adjustments) from his biography on his website: . Silverfish (talk) 21:59, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
