 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notoriety - I've edited this page several times, there was discussion that we were going to merge this page with Psychic Kids which is also a stub. That never happened. I've waited some time before bringing this deletion notice forward because I wanted to see if anyone was able to come up with noteworthy citations. I've had Coffey on Google Alert notice for months and have seen nothing but tour dates and fan pages come through. This stub currently has only his website and imdb links. I do not think it should be merged with P.K. and am nominating that page next. If they were merged we would have only two paragraphs of content, all of which link to their websites. Very little activity on this page other than vandalism control and bot edits Sgerbic (talk) 01:18, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, seems to meet Notability (people), just a short search finds several reliable sources that show Coffey "has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". I'm sure there are plenty more out there.  Dreadstar  ☥   03:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Winnipeg Free Press - Rare Medium
 * Gwinnett Daily Post - Medium to host psychic reading at Coolray Field
 * Lubbock Avalanche-Journal - Paranormal State to bring ghost hunting to Texas Tech
 * Star Gazette - Psychic says he's `flying sky-high' over `Airline' appearance
 * Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Lilburn psychic featured on A&E series 'Paranormal and God-given talent'is channeled in mysterious ways


 * Delete, other than three sentences, there is a clear lack of content, with none forthcoming for some time since its last nomination. This individual's notability may certainly warrant a Wikipedia article, at some time during which there is encyclopedic content with which to populate it. Nmillerche (talk) 18:50, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's not how policy works, the amount of content for a subject that meets WP:N, WP:V, and the other content policies does not factor into whether or not an article should exist - it would only apply if there were very little or no verifiable information on the subject in sources anywhere outside of Wikipedia (e.g. external sources with his name only, or other very limited sources of that nature); that's why we have Stub. With the sources above, the article can definitely be expanded, and I've begun doing so from those sources.  Clearly, lack of content - or potential content - is not a concern.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * My concerns still stand. We now have a very small improvement in the history area. It is just quotes from interviews about his "powers". That might help the article if there were more article to help. Sgerbic (talk) 03:30, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Coverage exists to establish notability as noted above. That the article is in poor shape means that it needs improvement, not deletion.  This is afterall, a collaborative editing environment where imperfect articles are expected. -- Whpq (talk) 19:28, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
