Jonathan Cheban

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable publicist. A Google search shows little to no write up in reliable sources outside of social networking sites and celeb/gossip sites. Starting a (non-notable?) TV show and having notable clients is not sufficient since notability is not inherited. Astronaut (talk) 19:58, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The only independent source given is a short one paragraph announcement about Kim Kardashian which makes one passing mention of Cheban. No evidence at all of notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:23, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

KEEP A four page Washington Post article has been included that from 2005 that demonstrates notability. You will note the requirements for entertainer biography are as such, "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." SPINdustry certainly unique as it is the first reality show of such a public relations business. Cheban is a prolific celebrity as he is regularly a part of Keeping up with the Kardashians, and has gained notoriety in the Washington Post for his business. While many people don't believe Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton deserve their fame and notability, one cannot deny they are famous and notable -- the same is true of Jonathan Cheban. This seems to be more a matter of personal taste, than a matter of whether this post is truly notable. jwolfe2 Significant changes have been made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwolfe2 (talk • contribs) 23:11, 27 February 2010 (UTC) — Jwolfe2 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment It is not "a matter of personal taste"; it is a matter of finding significant coverage in reliable sources. At present the only reference is to a promotional page on the web site of a company belonging to Cheban. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

*MERGE with Kim Kardashian. badmachine (talk) 18:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Why? Jonathan Cheban's involvement with Kim Kardashian is one small event in Kim Kardashian's career, and not notable enough to warrant space in the article about her. I have found little coverage in reliable sources. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * i meant a redirect to something like Kim Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, or Kim Kardashian or something like that. badmachine (talk) 14:31, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * REDIRECT to Kim Kardashian. badmachine (talk) 19:53, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Badmachine, totally non-notable, but redirects are cheap and easy. Bearian (talk) 01:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Badmachine seems like a good option to me as well. Hellbus (talk) 04:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - as nominator, I would be happy with a redirect. Astronaut (talk) 09:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
