FameMix

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Spammy paid article by a serial self promoter, salted and deleted many times here and cross wiki (see Famemix.) this isn't notable and it's nothing more than an attempt to legitimize a vanity spammer. Also a massive tou violation. No amount of copyediting can change this. Praxidicae (talk) 17:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - Many of the sources cited are reliable secondary sources for that region with significant coverage of the subject, more so AllAfrica.com which is a reliable source. Although some of the content may appear promotional, that can be remedied by editing. However, that in itself is not ground for deletion.Tamsier (talk) 03:25, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * this is a directory listing. this and this are both written by the same person, I'll note that very same person is a coworker of the creator of this article, who is globally locked as a sock of the creator of FameMix, this is completely questionable as far as reliability goes and the rest are either from FameMix directly or not coverage.

 * Actually the allAfrica article is copied from NewTimes...so, it's literally the same thing.Praxidicae (talk) 19:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete: I concur with Praxidicae's assessment of the sources, and aside from the sourcing issues, the copyediting required would involve removing and rewriting pretty much all of the little text that is in the article. I also respectfully disagree with the CSD G5 decline, as the guidelines state "...and that have no substantial edits by others...". Please see this diff which incorporates ALL the edits since the article was last touched by it's creator. The only edits were either maintenance tags, ref expansions, and some pretty minor copyediting, absolutely nothing I would call "substantial". Waggie (talk) 19:37, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
