Yves Bolè

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person. No indications of any significant coverage for this person. Citations given are all primary sources: listings of Bole's work available online. Claims of award nominations are not cited and cannot be verified. The 2012 Teen Choice Awards article did not mention him as one of the nominees for Choice Web Star until this article was proposed for deletion, at which time an IP editor both removed the PROD and updated the Teen Choice Awards page to list Bole as a nominee, despite the fact that Bole's name does not appear anywhere in the Teen Choice Awards official site.

 * Delete - Fails WP:BASIC. Per nom, no evidence of notability; cannot find reliable sources. Harsh  (talk)  18:41, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Given the amount of vandalism that has occurred on the page itself, and here on this discussion page, the assumption of good faith flies out the window, and we have to be left with the impression that someone is trying to slip something by here.

 * Delete. Yeah... no. A quick look at his YouTube and Twitter quickly dispels the claims of him being nominated for various awards, as there is no way that someone who is popular and well known enough to get nominated for two web awards (Teen Choice Awards, Streamy Award) would have less than 2,000 followers on YouTube and 16,000 followers on Twitter. I also want to note that despite claims in the article that his YouTube channel was what pushed him into the spotlight enough for the TCA and SAs, the channel apparently shows that he joined up back in September of this year. The claims in the article are pretty ludicrous and they're so outlandish that there isn't any way that he wouldn't have any coverage in the media. A 13 year old competing in a national ceramics competition and can be instantly recognized by his face by a major media outlet? A YT channel that manages to get nominated for two major awards? Someone like this would be covered in the media or at least have a ton of fan chatter since the TCA and SA are both ultimately based on popularity- especially the TCA. The guy does seem to exist, he released some music this year, and he has a YouTube channel, but other than that everything else is at worst a hoax and at best he's just plain old fashioned "not notable". Since this is the second time that someone has tried to create a page for him and this version contained such obvious falsehoods (likely done in an attempt to make him seem more notable and less likely to be deleted), I'd recommend salting.

 * Definitely recommend salting, considering that we've had multiple IPs come on here and vandalize the AfD discussion. That's a pretty big sign that they'll only continue to try to re-add the page until it's salted. Given the extremely limited coverage for Mr. Bolè, I can only assume that these efforts are by Bolè himself and I'd like to give him this warning: Mr. Bolè, the Internet by large is not stupid. They will very, very easily see through your efforts to bolster your reputation by posting what is pretty much outright lies on to Wikipedia or any other site. This will not make it more likely that you will become more popular. If anything, this will mostly make you more of an appealing target for the various people on the Internet who like to troll people like you. (I'm not one of them, but I've seen it happen to others.) I'd highly recommend that you put all of this effort into making and improving your videos, as this sort of energy is largely wasted and will be extremely unlikely to result in any favorable end on your behalf.

 * Delete per User:Tokyogirl79, completely non notable person. Additional Comment There appears to be efforts by 87.13.70.251 to disrupt this AfD, including removal of AfD templates and editing other users statements. I have since reported the ip to WP:AIV.

 * Delete as above, non-notable, seemingly self-promotional, and disruptive editing by creator including demonstrably false information and deletion of templates. Melcous (talk) 10:51, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This person exists, but not notable. The information is not reliable, but we can improve. They made a mess! We should rewrite the information again. 10:51, 9 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.15.232.238 (talk)
 * Delete an identical version under Draft:Yves Bole has been rejected three times. This version can't possibly be more notable than a thrice rejected identical copy. This article has already been created and deleted multiple times under the names Yves Bole and Yosvani Leon Alonso. Helpsome (talk) 15:37, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
