Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claire Falconer


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. This AfD has been relisted three times. It has had few contributors to the discussion. Of those !voting, three - including the nominator - are in favour of delete due to lack of significant reliable sources, with only one keep (from Piecesofuk, because they added sources). With three to one in favour of delete, numerically that would favour a delete. Also, lack of interest in a delete discussion in itself favours a delete on the principle of "no objection". On the other hand, the article was nominated for deletion when it was in this state:, when it had only two sources, and one of those was IMDB, which is generally considered to be an unreliable source, but it has been built on during the AfD discussion, and more sources added. However, two of the deletes came after the sources were added, and commented that the sources were not adequate - for example that the BBC source was an interview, and that coverage of her art career (her assumed notability) was sparse. Having looked at the BBC interview, I agree. The interview is about the town - she is used as a commentator on the town as a resident there. And other mentions, such as in the Irish Independent and Evening Herald, are "sparse" in that they mention her only in passing, in a trivial rather than the detailed or significant manner required of WP:GNG. However, The Impartial Reporter, a reliable source, does provide two detailed articles on her. And here's the rub. Certainly, they do not provide the information required of either WP:NACTOR or WP:NARTIST as pointed out by the nominator and user Possibly, when !voting delete, but they do provide some detailed coverage of her, as Possibly says, a "public personality". The downside of those sources is that they are local, which brings us back to the point made in the nomination that "The single source in the article is local coverage from her birthplace, so it counts for very little in terms of notability". That point has not been challenged, and has been implicitly supported by those commenting. It's also worth noting that two of those !voting to delete have been active in editing the article to provide sources, yet concluded after doing their research that there was not enough notability evidence for Wikipedia's inclusion criteria.

Does not appear to meet wither WP:NACTOR or WP:NARTIST. I was not able to find enough coverage of her to meet WP:GNG, or to indicate that she meets any of the points in the SNGs. The single source in the article is local coverage from her birthplace, so it counts for very little in terms of notability. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:47, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. Found and added two more references. The talk page lists three other references which are all now deadlinks, but this may indicate more coverage exists. Tacyarg (talk) 21:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Need some !votes apart from comments.
 * Comment Added that she was interviewed in the BBC series Town, also added a reference from the Culture Northern Ireland website which probably could be used to add some more information Piecesofuk (talk) 19:29, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~ Ase1este charge-paritytime 07:20, 19 February 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I've added an interview from Queen's University Belfast youTube channel Piecesofuk (talk) 17:01, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. On the one hand, she has been covered by BBC and a few other good sources... but several of these are interviews. Might meet GNG as a sort of former public personality. On the other hand, coverage of her art career is very sparse. Definitely fails every point of WP:NARTIST. Possibly (talk) 00:22, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Bungle (talk • contribs) 16:20, 26 February 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Boldly relisting a third time, no consensus above currently but with a more detailed review of sourcing one may be established with another 7 days.

 * Delete. I was on the fence about this one, added a couple of references and appreciate those added by others, but I don't think there is enough coverage. Tacyarg (talk) 20:02, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
