User:Zionboy/Nicolas-Patience Basabose


unsourced bio that does not assert real importance. Legacypac (talk) 17:00, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No reason to delete given, A7 and WP:V do not apply in userspace. In any case, significance is certainly asserted and notability is possible, noting that relevant sources may not be in English. Blank+template with Userpage blanked may be appropriate for promotional concerns. A2soup (talk) 18:20, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only assertion of notability relates to assertions about LeCongo Hebdo which this editor also created (and abandoned) in 2011 at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/LeCongo Hebdo. As such, the only thing we have is a statement that this is an entrepreneur of an investment group with two locations which is more akin to an inappropriate U5 situation than a usable draft. If the editor returns, the newspaper would be a better starting point via WP:REFUND. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:35, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - cursory Googling shows no evidence of notability. This is a WP:BLP; the requirement for information about living persons to be cited inline applies to all pages on the project. I don't see much evidence for notability for the newspaper either, all of the hits I get are from Google cramming "le congo" together with "hebdomadaire".

 * Keep. Notability guidelines do not apply to user space. No contentious information in the draft that would trigger WP:BLP concerns; citation requirement for BLPs only applies to articles. VQuakr (talk) 06:36, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:BLPREMOVE and other sections apply here. It's most likely a self promo situation given the same editor tried to draft the newspaper page.  The referenced RfC does not trump policy, common sense or WP:IAR. We are trying to improve this project here. Legacypac (talk) 06:43, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * What information stated about a living person in that draft is contentious? VQuakr (talk) 06:46, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Is anything on the page true? Is it verifiable? Legacypac (talk) 07:06, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Not relevant; this is not an article. VQuakr (talk) 15:47, 24 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: Abandoned draft, hinging on promotional, about a non-viable subject. Wikipedia is not the place for such unencyclopedic writings. Fails WP:NOT. That it's a BLP only gives it yet another shove past any hurdles that might otherwise prevent its deletion. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 07:38, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per WP:U5 via WP:STALEDRAFT point #4 (i.e. "If the material is promotional, or otherwise unsuitable, and the author was never a serious Wikipedia contributor, consider tagging for speedy deletion per WP:CSD"). — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 05:33, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Stricken due to policy manipulation. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 05:55, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * How do you think policy gets written? Legacypac (talk) 05:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Changes to existing policies and guidelines are made through proposal on the appropriate talk page or at the village pump, so they can gain community consensus, especially if they're controversial in nature (which is clearly the case here). — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 06:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as an unsourced biography that seems profoundly unlikely to yield anything of use to the project. ~ RobTalk 23:31, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as promotion. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:00, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
