Draft:Nikolas Badminton


By User:MrVanDigital who is likely the subject of this page. Three AfC reviewers have rejected this so bringing for community discussion Legacypac (talk) 22:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - it’s a straightforward advertisement for a non-notable subject. KJP1 (talk) 23:02, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plausibly notable.  Many ghits.  A number of the references and many of the ghits attest to notability, subject to the difficult testing of source independence.  The AfC decline reasons are insufficient AfD delete reasons.  The last two declines, which appear to be exactly the same templated response, speak to style, which can be fixed.  The author has mainspace edits from 2014 that show this he is unlikely to be a throwaway UPE SOCK.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:38, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Vancouver Sun article is a source I would absolutely accept as counting towards notability if this were at AFD, but we are MFD. This is a draft where the notability is plausible.  As such this draft article fits the objectives of the draft space as a place for developing articles without them being subject to immediate notability judgement. -- Whpq (talk) 14:36, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - I respectfully disagree with SmokeyJoe in that I think that the author does look like a UPE account, even if they aren't a throwaway sock. I have socks in my sock drawer that I bought before 2014.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:07, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree notability is plausable but someone else needs to write it up. Legacypac (talk) 02:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
