Carlo Romeo (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This seems to have been an injudicious AFC acceptance. Since a reviewer has accepted it I believe we must now go through the AfD process to decide its fate. I suggest draftification since it has promise, but the referencing is very poor and very primary. It may prove that the subject is WP:ROTM, but this is likely better determined after a further run through AFC to seek to insist on better sourcing Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 22:43, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Draftify or Delete. This person may be notable, but I couldn't find any independent coverage in a WP:BEFORE search, and this is currently sourced entirely to the organisations he's worked for, his profiles on various sites and a promotional interview for a book he wrote. The article is also written like a CV and needs a complete rewrite for tone. IMO this should have been declined at AFC. 192.76.8.66 (talk) 08:56, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - The disambiguation is unnecessary. If this is kept, it should be moved to Carlo Romeo.  If it is draftified, it should be moved to Draft:Carlo Romeo.  Robert McClenon (talk) 23:56, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - There were 10 sources when this was nominated for deletion, but are now 18 sources, so that a Heywood close is possible if the new sources are good. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:56, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Draftify to Draft:Carlo Romeo (without disambiguation), and further tag the draft with Promising draft. A review of the sources does not show that any of them meet Wikipedia's standards.  The addition of 8 more sources has not significantly improved the situation.  This is an unusual situation in that it strongly appears that the subject is biographically notable, but reliable sources have not been found.  Many of the sources, as noted by the nominator, are in the nature of a CV, some are interviews of the subject, and some are interviews by the subject.  Some of the sources added cannot be accessed.  A review of the sources follows:

 * Draftify I am seeing the strong possibility of the coverage that is not that apparent at this moment. AFC can decide how the article needs to be designer. TolWol56 (talk) 23:47, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
