Moved here in 2012 per FAKEARTICLE by User:Drmies and tagged as a draft by User:EdJohnston. Either this is promotional autobiography that should be deleted or it is a legit article that should be sent to mainspace. Legacypac (talk) 16:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's not either/or. Something can be a viable topic but written up as a promotional autobiography (which is what we had here), and something can be a legit article topic that's not ready to be sent to mainspace (which is also what we had here. Legacypac, if you spent more time thinking about these categories/divisions you have set up, you wouldn't be getting in trouble about this sending to mainspace bit. In the meantime, I added some book sources for this guy who is obviously notable, and where it seems you never even tried to apply BEFORE. Ed, what shall we do with this? Send it off to mainspace with four book references from university presses? Drmies (talk) 01:21, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, five. Drmies (talk) 01:24, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I could have just blanked it in the sandbox but I wondered if it was notable, so brought it up for discussion amd hoped someone with an interest in the topic would provide better guidence. Looks like you've established he is notable which is great.  Legacypac (talk) 01:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, no, you couldn't have blanked it, sorry. Listen, Legacypac, you know exactly what I mean. I am not trying to get you into trouble (you can do what well enough yourself!), but I hope you understand that the false dichotomy is, in my opinion, precisely the reason you got called out, and I'm suggesting this to you in hopes that you will accept it in the spirit in which it was offered. (That the dichotomy is false isn't opinion, it's fact.) Take care, Drmies (talk) 02:11, 10 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Withdraw and this should be sent to mainspace at some point soon. Legacypac (talk) 03:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, appears Wikipedia-notable, verifiably, despite the sources being surprisingly poor, although not unreliable. Coverage appears to be of passing mentions.  Merging into a different article on the television station the subject owned may be the way out.  I am not sure about Drmies 2012 move of the article from mainspace to userspace.  I don't see a request to do that, and it looks like an odd pseudodeletion.  I am even less sure about the page move summary invoking WP:FAKEARTICLE, which appears to be a mistake? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Smokey you misread the move. . The orginal page was built directly on User:Ali Lemonadi so it looked like an article. Drmies was correct. Your userpage should not apear to be an article on your user name which in this case is a real person. Legacypac (talk) 14:22, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * So I did. Thanks.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
