Glen Vella

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable Maltese singer. While he did participate in Eurovision he hasn't won it, the only win listed in any version of the article being a Malta-specific contest. I am also having a hard time finding sources to help support this man's notability in a Wikipedia sense (music reviews, coverage of his Eurovision performance, just general coverage of him that isn't an interview, etc.). (string: "glen vella") The only source that has been proffered thus far (by apparent conflict-of-interest editor ) is a webpage that is now dead and hasn't been archived that I can see. —Jéské Couriano v^&lowbar;^v  Source assessment notes 15:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC)


 * While he did participate in Eurovision he hasn't won it - If you read the article well there is NO mention that he won the Eurovision!
 * There is the link to his facebook and instagram account!
 * Kindly refrain from updating any article again.

 * Winning the Eurovision contest, provided it is sourced, would have guaranteed notability then and there (WP:NBAND bullet 9). —Jéské Couriano v^&lowbar;^v  Source assessment notes 15:54, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Coverage here and here  seems fine. Oaktree b (talk) 15:29, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Limit it to .mt sources, and a ton show up. He got engaged and the typical celebrity articles, all of which can be used to flesh out the article. Oaktree b (talk) 15:32, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
