Ariel Rojas (weatherman)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:NBIO/WP:NJOURNALIST, might be WP:TOOSOON for an article. No widespread coverage; there appears to be two independent and reliable sources that talk about Rojas directly, but the rest are written by those working in the same news agency as Rojas, so I don't count those as "independent".

 * Found a third source:, but doesn't go into detail about Rojas himself. Chlod (say hi!) 07:38, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak delete – fails notability guidelines. Only two sources fairly passes GNG. Toad ette  ( Merry Christmas, and a happy new year ) 10:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. As the nominator notes, we have examples of significant coverage from this individual from multiple independent reliable sources—namely the first two articles noted. This is admittedly a borderline case, but I do think that two is multiple. There is also coverage of him from ABS-CBN's newsroom, and that can be used to fill in some more basic biographical details, but given that ABS-CBN is his employer I don't think it ought contribute towards notability. I do wonder if there's coverage in Tagalog that I can't find; I ran into this source, but that doesn't appear to be SIGCOV, and I can't really search in that language well because of my lack of Tagalog knowledge. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 03:56, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Yeah, the Bandera article isn't SIGCOV, and mostly focuses on controversy related to Kim Atienza instead. Rojas is mentioned here because he replaced Atienza as ABS-CBN's weatherman when Atienza left the agency. As for Filipino sources, I was unable to find any except the Bandera one. Again, some sources from ABS-CBN (but mostly describing his job rather than himself), but they're all either written by Rojas or his co-workers. Chlod (say hi!) 02:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO per nom. Nothing much found in my WP:BEFORE aside from the Bandera article presented by Red-tailed Hawk. SBKSPP (talk) 23:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
