Gabriel Lavin

Article about an utterly unremarkable man, fails WP:GNG but the author keeps removing prod and speedy delete templates, so I guess he does not agree. The Banner talk 00:47, 11 August 2016 (UTC)


 * User talk:The Banner What exactly makes Mr. Lavin an " utterly unremarkable man"? Please do tell me! I am all ears!https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gabriel_Lavin&action=edit# Thelav (talk) 01:14, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * First start with reading the mention WP:GNG, then start adding reliable (no blogs or social media), independent (not in anyway related to the subject), prior published sources that prove that mr. Lavin (a relation of you?) really is more than a man with a job and some hobbies. Usually, people who are notable have a rather high count of Google hits. Your mr. Lavin effectively just 130, shared with a few namesakes. Your mr. Lavin was not a director or owner of any business but a manager with a subsidiary company. Being involved with charity says nothing, especially without clear leadership roles. The article is in fact just one peace of promo and nothing more than a polished up Linkedin-profile.

 * Delete - Agreed, subject lacks notability and significant coverage in reliable sources. I've gone through and cleaned up the page a bit by removing excessive promotional tone. Meatsgains (talk) 01:59, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

I understand the points you are making. And no, I am not related to Mr. Lavin but I was a previous acquaintance of his. I do not believe the article should be deleted as he is a very well known business man who has and still is a Director (I don't recall using the word 'Own' in the article at all). He may not have much coverage Online but he is known to many people. I am not going to debate his popularity as neither one of you have grown up in Ireland so you really and truly have no stance on it. Thank you for your edit Meatsgains. I can see and understand more clearly. Thank you for taking the time to look over it. I am relativity new to Wikipedia Article writing so it is nice to see someone helping me out. Hopefully The Banner, you can re-think your request for the deletion of my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelav (talk • contribs) 02:48, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to say, but after the removal of 2 speedy deletion templates, 1 prod-template and 1 AfD-template you have no credit left with me. So the answer is no. The Banner talk 15:42, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * FYI, an IP removed the AfD tag on the page. I have restored. Meatsgains (talk) 00:40, 18 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete, as per nom. The sources cited either mention him trivially or not at all. He fails GNG, as I was unable to find anything besides trivial mentions through searches. Existence =/= notability. GABgab 03:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I hope this doesn't discourage you, Thelav, from writing more articles in the future. But I also hope you understand that we can't "take your word for it" that someone is notorious. To keep the encyclopedia orderly, we need to have standards - and we have decided, as a community, that the standard is as stated in WP:GNG. Brianga (talk) 03:11, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- no indication of notability, or even being associated with notable entities. No significant RS coverage can be found. I hope the creator does not get discouraged, and will try to focus on more notable topics. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - Of the page's 9 current references, Levan is only mentioned in four of them, one of which isn't even reliable. Unless additional RS can be dug up detailing Levan and his "notability", this page is headed towards deletion. Meatsgains (talk) 01:28, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
