The result was delete. WP:AGF notwithstanding, there is no credible assertion of notability and the creator is likely a sock. Guy (Help!) 23:53, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Liban Barre

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

In my opinion, this article really qualifies for speedy deletion under speedy deletion criterion A7 (no indication of importance or significance), but I am giving it the benefit of the doubt, as the claim of "almost 15 thousand fans" could just about be construed as a claim of significance. It seems that what that means is simply that his Facebook page claims 14583 "likes". The article is about a person with no evidence of notability at all, either in the article itself or anywhere that I have managed to find on searching. It is sourced only to Facebook. (The original version of this article was created by an editor called "Libanbarre", and was speedily deleted. Libanbarre was also given a message alerting him to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. The article was later re-created by an editor who appears to be in contact with Liban Barre's manager, if not with Liban Barre himself.)

in the beginning user jamesBWatson told me that i had to show prove and significance that Liban Barre had 15,000 fans or almost close to that number so i search his name up got his facebook link and showed him prove. than afterward he tells me This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy after i proved to him that he had that much fans and let me ask you something Facebook is a big company almost 250 million people have an Facebook account and how do Facebook separate the public with celebrities they give the celebrities a blue verified check next to their name and only Celebrities and public figures Global brands and businesses media can have it and Liban Barre fan page is going get verified very soon so what does that tell you it tells you that out of 250 million people on facebook liban wil be one of many verified account on facebook. on top of that google is making liban barre his knowledge graph anytime soon so if this article gets deleted than google has no information to put on his box and yes i dont know liban personally his manager contacted me and told me to make an article cause he will be appearing on tv and flim this upcoming spring and other than that i dont know who made that account i have no idea and it doesn't concern me my job is to make this article and obviously user jamesBWatson is making things harder and if so the article Sulekha_Ali has nothing significance about it and as i recall since i am fan of liban and sulekha videos since they are a big deal in my culture him and Sulekha working  togather on a project  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmed9558 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ahmed, I have already given you links to the relevant notability guidelines, and none of what you say here has any relation to the content of those guidelines. This deletion discussion will be reviewed by an administrator who will asses notability on the basis of Wikipedia's guidelines, and will take little or no account of anything said here which does not relate to those guidelines. As I have already explained to you, if you can provide reliable sources showing that Liban Barre satisfies the notability guidelines, then there will be no reason to delete the article, but being a "verified account" on Facebook does not do it.
