Graham Kentsley

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is about a non-notable person. The whole text is based on unreliable sources such as local tabloids, announcements of his concerts on social-network pages of bars, pubs, barbershop etc.; besides, there is a number of links which direct to pages that don’t contain any relevant content at all.

Furthermore, the only author of the article has been already blocked on Russian Wikipedia for intrusive promotion of Kentsley ; the article itself was deleted too. XVodolazx (talk) 11:36, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - coverage in Reuters, Times of Malta & Vorarlberger Nachrichten Joaomufc (talk) 14:42, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are sources, but virtually no significant coverage of this person. He's not automatically notable due to his connections or wealth, or quite frankly, anything he's done. Bearian (talk) 15:22, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see any reason why the Reuters source can't be used for establishing notablity, but Times of Malta, Business Insider and a half a dozen of the other sources are just reposts of the Reuters article. I don't see anything else to establish notability. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  23:37, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject does seem to be trying to get himself into the news, but coverage from reliable sources looks insufficient. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 05:00, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep mainstream citations here, inserted, Russian name search shows state broadcaster appearance here  - dozens of others also. Should meet GNG. Otrantos (talk) 15:39, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, Otrantos. You are a supposedly new user who just arrived at WP today, with 30 edits no less. And you argue for notability with garbage sources such as the Russian government propaganda site Sputniknews and the execrable eurosport.ru, with an article subject that translates as ""The best girls in the world are from the Volgograd region". English millionaire, who is 30 years in Russia...Interview with a cool foreigner who knows everything about Russia." Care to disclose your financial interest here? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk)


 * KeepSignificant person in Russia with lots of Russian press tv  radio  etc heavyweight links , especially quite enough links if to search in Cyrillic Грэм Кентслей.Alexandr France — Alexandr France (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. —Preceding undated comment added 17:47, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Most of your links are just interviews or slight notes like "Football fan arrived in Volgograd on a yacht", where Kentsley himself even isn't always the main subject. Of course, he may be interesting for people of the provincial town like Volgograd and their media, but it does not make Kentsley notable enough for Wikipedia. Actually, he is just an ordinary entrepreneur from England who often visits Volgograd and that's the only reason why he gets some attention from the local media.

 * Keep - quite a few important links about his boat trip in Russian media   where says that "this is the first british boat passes under the Kerch Bridge and the first british yacht goes from the end of the Danube to the end of the Volga" and a lot more about that, foreign media   Garfild2017 (talk) 23:33, 1 July 2018 (UTC) — Garfild2017 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
