- Comment I sought to provide evidence by referencing produced works, both on YouTube and throughout the Web. I'm trying to follow Wikipedia protocol as much as I understand and can apply it. Please inform me how I can better present this material. Zendor ( talk) 20:43, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- Zendor, there are several issues here mostly revolving around reliable sources as well as the general requirements for notability. Wikipedia requires that a person's notability is established prior to having an article written about them. The easiest way to establish notability is to have that person be the "subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,and independent of the subject." There is also the additional requirement that there is significant coverage, meaning that there must be quite a few reliable sources which are each independent of each other. As of now the sources you have provided are not reliable in that they are either primary sources controlled by the subject of the article, or they do not come from a site that is known for its fact checking or transparent editorial process. None of the above editors have been able to find anything on Bruce Benfiel which would qualify for adequate sourcing, which makes us skeptical that such sources could be found. If you are able to fulfill these requirements, I would withdraw my nomination. Additionally I'm not the gatekeeper, so even if I choose not to withdraw, but you are able to find enough sources to convince the closing admin that the article is worth keeping then the article will most likely stay. As of now please look through all the links I have provided and let us know if you think you have found sourcing that adheres to Wikipedia's standard. Buena Suerte!
