David Zolkwer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article has clearly been influenced by someone who knows him, or him himself, too many unnecessary details, on the talk page another editor already deleted a lot of other stuff that fell under WP:NOTPROMO, however there is still no significance other than him being one of the many people who's involved in marketing in the UK.

Most urls in the article are broken. Currently, the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th urls are non-existent.

That leaves us with: 3rd, 4th, 8th and 11th urls to judge his notability from.

In the 3rd url, Zolkwer is mentioned in the passing towards the end of the article ("But he and co-creative director David Zolkwer (right) have also developed their own theme"), he's a very minor figure in the article.

4th is a small column in sports section from 2002, the writer interviewed Zolkwer, Zolkwer was artistic director for opening and closing ceremonies of 2002 Commonwealth Games. This is the only mention of Zolkwer that can be suitable for notability.

8th is a non-reliable source, the article is about fire that broke in a ceremony, with Zolkwer's "epic" comment mentioned in the passing in the middle of the short article.

11th url is dailymail mentioning his works, which reads like an ad. Dailymail can be used as a source if it talks about a significant person/event, however here we must first determine whether being an art director for opening and closing ceremonies of 2002 Commonwealth Games is significant enough to warrant having a Wikipedia article.

So all in all, there is only one source that can be used as an argument for Notability (people) test. I think it's not enough. Vizakenjack (talk) 04:36, 15 June 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. I just fixed some of the dead links, and I was able to find the others in databases (but not in a linkable form) – which is perfectly acceptable. Zolkwer is at least mentioned in each of them. The coverage is in his capacity as artistic director, and is mostly independent and reliable enough. The subject is (narrowly) notable.

 * Keep. Has coverage about him in reliable sources, not just glancing mentions, in particular the articles appearing in the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail. Curiocurio talk) contribs) 01:17, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
