Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Herman Otten (actor)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. UPE in creation and a new editor just happens to nominate this article for deletion? Something smells rotten in Denmark. No objection to an established editor making a nomination if they feel it's appropriate. Star  Mississippi  02:31, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Herman Otten (actor)

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

Non-notable speech coach. UPE was blocked a month ago when they started this page, User:Sabel Naveen/sandbox. Writing style hints that they are part of Sockpuppet investigations/Hammad Chaudhry/Archive.

As an actor, he has acted in minor roles, short films, advertisements/commercials, clearly fails WP:NACTOR. The award he received is a run-of-the-mill award, so can't pass WP:ANYBIO on that basis. His book is self-published. Most of the sources are podcasts/interview which aren't secondary sources. Lunga Maphahla (talk) 14:33, 21 May 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. After web research per WP:NEXIST, I do not see how this would pass the WP:GNG. If someone else does, they are welcome to ping me. Difficulty was that the name is quite common. Thank you for a very worthwhile AfD nomination, Lunga Maphahla! gidonb (talk) 01:57, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment Can't comment on the notability of the sources, most of the roles seem minor. The paid-promotion/socking doesn't help. Oaktree b (talk) 02:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment I know article needs some more citations but the person has notability and meets Wikipedia criteria. I don't know anything about this "User:Sabel Naveen/sandbox" and how come "Lunga Maphahla" just created a new account and came to nominate this article? Lunga also made a few edits on the article, and added Herman Otten's website as a speaking coach.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karemsingh (talk • contribs) 18:08, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
