Waqidi Falicoff

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Originally PROD'd by SwisterTwister with the reason "Over 5 years of templated concerns and none of it has changed beyond what's here and none of it is significant for a convincing article; sources examined show triviality and nothing else beyond." PROD was contested by @WFalicoff (who is presumably also the article's subject?)   F ASTILY   09:09, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Let's look at the sources presented here:


 * Summary: Fails GNG. There has been plenty of time and still we don't have multiple reliable independent sources. We have two writeups of gigs at the university in a school newspaper from when he was a student, some listings in database sites and the subject's own website. --Slashme (talk) 09:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per Slashme's analysis of sourcing. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:01, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:SIGCOV. I found a couple more sources involving his work for the 1992 Olympic Games in this peer reviewed journal article, }, and a review of his work in variety magazine . Best.4meter4 (talk) 18:15, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Source review above pretty much lays out the reasons this doesn't add up to significant coverage. I was unable to vet the two sources cited by the keep vote above, but the titles imply the articles are not about this person, but about something else where he may be mentioned within. A bit problematic researching in that this subject has gone by multiple names over the years. He obviously has had a long career and there are possibly more sources that verify existence under all three names, but the nature of the coverage is small time, trivial or tangential. If something significant existed it likely would have shown up over the years. Plus, it's a vanity page, and the discussions on the article creator's talk page reveal the problems getting this article past copyright violations and promotional.
