Potter Family (Canada)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Single-sourced article about a family, whose notability claim ("largest biological family in Canada") is not inherently notable in the absence of much more coverage than this -- and, for that matter, it isn't even supported by the single source, which merely calls them one of the biggest.

 * Keep. I can address your two points: 1) This was on the National news across Canada, which, as far as coverage goes, is the top of the totem pole. 2) At 11 seconds into the video, the anchor does indeed state that Clarington "...is home to Canada's largest biological family." - Kbruynson (talk) 02:20, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Lots of things and people get one-shot coverage on the national news without instantly qualifying for a Wikipedia article on that basis. The notability test for a topic like this is not "Lisa LaFlamme said their name on the air once", it requires ongoing coverage in a variety of sources over an extended period of time. Even just a basic WP:GNG pass requires more than just one source. Bearcat (talk) 16:07, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete, I just don't see how they meet WP:GNG standards. The CTV news item is a one-off 'puff piece', in my opinion.   PK  T (alk)  16:07, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
