Indygo Arscott

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of an activist whose claims of notability are not properly referenced as getting them over WP:GNG. Of the eight footnotes here, three are primary sources that cannot support notability -- Facebook, Twitter and a piece in which they're the bylined author of content about themself -- while four of the other five are just glancing namechecks of their existence as a giver of soundbite in articles about other things, and the last tangentially verifies the existence of an event while completely failing to mention the subject's name at all in conjunction with it. This is not how you source an activist as notable enough for an encyclopedia article -- they have to be the subject of the sources, not the author of their own sources or a person whose name gets briefly mentioned in coverage about other subjects.

 * Keep: Although there are many primary sources, I do believe that the news articles written about the subject provide some notability as the events were fairly recent (one rally was hosted by the subject themselves) and there could be more news coverage in the near future as the subject's activism develops, especially after the Doug Ford rally held approximately two weeks ago.

 * We keep or delete articles based on what's already true today, not based on WP:CRYSTAL predictions about how much more notable the person might become in the future. The sources which actually count as reliable source media coverage here aren't about Indygo Arscott, but merely mention their name in the process of being about something else, which is not how you source the notability of an activist. And it's also necessary to point out that you're the page's creator, and thus not an objective observer of whether the sourcing here is enough or not — it doesn't mean you're not allowed to comment at all, I assure you, but it does need to be stated on the record.

 * Delete the covetrage of Arscott has not yet risen to the level of showing notability. That may change in the future, but it is not yet the case.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:21, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
