Mickaël Vendetta

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This was tagged to be speedily deleted, however it does appear to me that there might be some claim to notability here. Taking to AFD for further discussion. Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 11:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm the one who created the page not long ago (and yes it's my first article!), sorry if it took me quite a few edits to make it as it is now! Thanks for opening this page. I explained my point of view on the discussion page of the article, and I don't know if it's appropriate to copy paste it here. I don't claim that the world can't live without this entry, but I believe there's some notability aswell (see discussion page). Regards, Plop256 (talk) 13:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The following is copied from the article's talk page. It is the part of Plop256's contributions where Plop256 sets out reasons for regarding Vendetta as notable.JamesBWatson (talk) 14:10, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Vendetta is no more just an internet phenomenon. He is managed by a production company, has a web-TV, has been seen on air in the French national TV and radio in various shows, and more importantly, has ACTED in commercial for Pringles and is now part of the cast in the french version of The Farm. The Farm this year has 6 969 000 people watching it, (and 30% total audience), France is 60M people (plus, he is the one making the most audience in the show, measured). It's safe to say 6 969 000 French people know who he is, reality is likely above. Just as a note, Google for Mickaël Vendetta yields 6M+ hits, David Charvet(also present in that TV show) yields less than 300K hits. Plop256

 * Weak Delete - there are lots of sources here (and more available on Google), but I'm not sure any of them are sufficiently reliable for our purposes - blogs usually aren't. Having said that, there are definite claims of notability here, and I don't know French very well so it's possible I'm missing something obvious in the sources.

This mickael vendetta is a young blogger, probably only known to teen bloggers. Now he's in a reality TV show like big brother but in a farm. IMO you can assume he'll be back to complete anonimity in like 2 month. Moreover, I also bring to your attention, that the french page about him is also marked for deletion. The fact the french wikipedia community questions the legimity of this page means it isnt even obvious for french people it makes sense to have it... So, for having it on the en wikipedia... If some of you want to check the french deletion page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:Micka%C3%ABl_Vendetta/Suppression As of today (2010-02-06): Delete = 44, Keep = 33 88.175.74.22 (talk) 16:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm french and i've just discovered his existence like 30 minutes ago. IMHO you can delete this article.
 * delete even if we can keep his french article, he hasn't an intenational height. -- Xfigpower ( yak yak ) 16:20, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete It is unlikely that he is, nor will be, a person worthy of attention by French standards, let alone international standards.--DragonFly31 (talk) 14:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per meeting WP:GNG as shown by coverage in numerous sources... and apparently most of them in French... so it seems he does indeed seem to be a person worth note to them. International standards?  Wikipedia is not just for some subjective "international" fame or note.  Notable in France is plenty notable enough for en.Wikipedia. Kudos to the author for its creation.  Far better to encourage the author to study WP:RS and WP:CITE in order to add better sources and in the correct format, rather that have him think his work is somehow not worth improving.

 * keep This guy is rather famous on french media. To my point of view be famous is enought to be on wikipedia. Tognopop (talk) 22:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * keep numerous press coverage Moez talk 01:01, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Strong media coverage (french nationwide TV channels and radios). Please do not take into account french AfD on wp:france, where people do not like biographies of people which are not related to "serious" subjects. HDDTZUZDSQ (talk) 11:02, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
