The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. A search of him on Google shows press releases about his record deal with Mavin Records. It also shows circulated news about Kemi Adetiba having a crush on him. The subject has not received significant coverage to warrant stand-alone inclusion.

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself -- Examples include credible online magazines such as OkayAfrica [1] and online reprints of broadcast media, such as Viacom-owned MTV Base/MTV Networks Africa [2]
2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart -- Requirement does not specify concerning song ownership, as artist has songwriting rights to charting singles in Nigeria and Africa. Examples include "Marry Me" by Falz ft. Poe and Yemi Alade and "Chardonnay Music" by Falz ft. Poe and Chyn [3]
6. Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles -- This guideline should be satisfied by involvement in Collectiv3, but also under Mavin Records. Artists signed to the label can be considered an ensemble due to the release of their compilations [4]
8. Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award -- It should be taken into consideration that the Nigerian Entertainment Awards and The Headies are two of Africa's (let alone Nigeria's) biggest awards shows, for which this artist has been both nominated and an award recipient.
10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. -- Again, this should be satisfied by the Collectiv3 involvement/release of 'Collectiv3' compilation album. Also, artist has had several performance/appearances on several Nigerian television shows. Examples include: 'The Juice'/Ndani TV [5] and Ebonylife TV [6]
11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network -- Artist is regularly in rotation on national radio stations. Also, MTV Base is a major African television network ( MTV Networks Africa/Viacom). Artist has had singles/music videos including top single "Adore Her" in MTV's rotation as well as mentioned in online extension of television channel [7].
12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network -- Artist is regularly featured on national radio. While broadcasts are not online, examples of artist presence include online features: Urban 96.5 [8], Fuze Radio [9] and Smooth FM 98.1 personality Folu Storms' radio show (extended online [10]) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EVER Entertainment ( talk • contribs) 23:22, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I am nominating Software Quality Solutions AG for deletion because in 7 years time, it has failed to get a verifiable source other than it's own website on the wiki. I believe it violates policy #7: Verifiability, and policy #8: Notability, as well as possibly policy #4 advertisement.
When Googling the company, the first 4 pages are either their own sources or just stock updates, or reports on their profits. Nothing on what they actually do. As far as I can tell from outside sources, the company only makes profits, and I don't feel that is notable.
Furthermore, the since there seems to be a lack of coverage of anything other than their profits, the only thing we can really say for sure about the company from 3rd party sources is their profits and stocks. Because of this, most of the article should be removed as it's not sourced.
Finally, the page has had problems in the past where it was written like an advertisement. Likely the company itself wrote it's article, and uses it to generate business. This is a violation of the guidelines.
This is my first major change to Wikipedia, and please let me know if I'm out of line here. I came here looking for information about what they do, and what their software does, but instead found the same information that occurs on their website. I honestly don't know why this whole page couldn't be replaced by a redirect to their website. ChthonicOne ( talk) 14:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Inadequately sourced biography of a person notable primarily as a city councillor. While Glasgow is a large and prominent enough city that its councillors would be deemed to pass WP:NPOL if they were sourced properly, this rests almost entirely on primary sources (birth and marriage registers, and the council's own archived records of its own internal business), with just one piece of actual reliable source coverage shown at all. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually show a greater volume of media coverage than this, but city councillors do not get an automatic NPOL pass just because they exist -- a city councillor's includability is entirely conditional on her sourceability, and the sources shown here aren't adequate.

This mess of an article is self-promotion by a subject who does not meet basic notability criteria nor the criteria at WP:AUTHOR. Despite various attempts to tone down the promotional content added by a large number of COI sockpuppet accounts, the article is still basically a giant advertisement, contravening our policies on what Wikipedia is not. It is written in an unencyclopedic tone, and there are still active accounts adding blatantly promotional content and spamming the talk page. Every one of the subject's supposed "major works" is a red link. I looked one up on on Amazon and it appears to be a self-published work with minimal impact. The few reviews are fake, written with over-the-top praise by reviewers who have ONLY reviewed publications by this guy. Basically this guy is a master of self-promotion through the use of sockpuppet accounts. The references are often self-published, and the few reliable news media links are brief articles expressing surprise that someone wrote a very long poem on Justin Trudeau.
The awards do not appear to be reputable. The " International Society of Poets" and " International Library of Poetry" are associated with Poetry.com, a vanity press. The only Google results for the words "Missionary Albanian Artists Association" or "Albanian Martyrs National Association" is this article – granted, it could be a language issue but the general point is that the awards, if they are awards, are not enough to confer notability.

Non-notable book. Unreliable reference(s) were used. XXN, 15:21, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
The article notes:
But while Edward might have failed as a pet, he did leave what the Elias call “an enduring mark on their collective psyche.” So much so that he’s the force behind the sibling duo’s new graphic novel, “The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990.”
The book came about after Miriam performed a stage reading of Edward’s “journals” in London in 2011 and attracted a publisher’s attention. It positions the brother-and-sister team as translators and Edward as a disillusioned author who thinks there must be more to life than eating seeds and spinning on his wheel for Ezra and Miriam’s entertainment.
...
But the Edward of the book, is whip-smart and hyperarticulate. He makes wry observations about life, punctuated with lofty existential theories. Of a cat, he writes, “He is just a dumb and senseless brute — he is allowed to roam free, for the bars are locked firmly on his mind.”
The article notes:
The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990–1990
by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia • September 26, Blue Rider Press, 96 pp., $14.95
Fans of Henri, the existentialist cat of Internet fame, will probably fall even harder for diarist Edward the Hamster's brief, pocket-sized belles lettres. As ill-fated as any pet hamster, the defiant Edward, unlike the others, "will not do tricks." Instead, he desperately seeks connection and meaning before his tiny shade passes through its painfully brief earthly journey. He goes on a 16-minute hunger strike, he contemplates murdering his ignorant cellmate, he ponders freedom and existence. "Death is the final cage," muses Edward. "None shall escape."
The article notes:
Elia, Miriam & Ezra Elia. The Diary of Edward the Hamster, 1990–1990. Blue Rider: Penguin Group (USA). Sept. 2013. 96p. ISBN 9780399165979. pap. $14.95. HUMOR
This wicked little book by a sister-and-brother team from Britain features a hamster in existential anguish as he whirls about his wheel: “They can take my freedom, but they will never take my soul.” Billed for fans of Tim Burton and Edward Gorey and actually quite funny, if you like dark.
The article notes:
Non-fiction THE DIARY OF EDWARD THE HAMSTER 1990-1990 BY MIRIAM ELIA AND ERZA ELIA (BOXTREE, £6.99) A COLLABORATION between brother and sister duo Miriam and Ezra Elia, The Diary Of Edward The Hamster 1990-1990 is an 80-page journal written through the eyes of the titular rodent.
Described as a "deliciously dark gothic giftbook, for pet lovers and anguished existentialists of all ages", the book is a celebration of the short-lived hamster's life.
Interspersed with black and white drawings of our furry hero by Ezra Elia, this is a genuinely funny personal diary containing entries such as Edward's thoughts on the meaning of his life, his views towards his owners and his joy when he finally gets a friend to cohabit with, who he then promptly conspires to murder.
A lovely stocking filler for animal lovers or philosophers alike, this is perfect for those who have ever wondered about the possible inner-workings of a hamster's mind.
The article notes:
My favourite autobiography this year comes from a hamster. In The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990–1990, edited by Miriam and Ezra Elia (Macmillan, GBP6.99), Edward relates his life story in gnomic, existential entries. May 5 reads: "Why Exist?" May 7: "The vet came today. He touched me. Apparently I am a woman." It does not end on a high note, but his love for Camilla (the other hamster) is heartbreaking.
The article notes:
“The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990” by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia (Blue Rider Press, 96 pages, in stores)
This book is perfect for three types of people: pet lovers, fans of dark comedy and angsty existentialists struggling to escape life’s prison. Then again, maybe it’s only good for the first two kinds of people. The third might find it pointless to read a book, even a thin one like this.
As the title suggests, the book purports to be the diary of a hamster who lived a short and unhappy life locked in a cage, enduring daily torments. He mourns the fact that no one remembers the six-month anniversary of his acceptance into the family, tries to avoid contact with his owners and tries to figure out why he has such a miserable life.
Edward is nothing if not defiant. ...
The article notes:
Three new books take unorthodox approaches to the usually sober subject of philosophy.
"The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990" (Blue Rider Press) by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia is the illustrated musings of an unusually gloomy rodent who questions whether his cage is of his own making and goes on a 16-minute hunger strike.
The article notes:
Welcome to Edward's world, asking the big questions about the meaning of life, love, friendship, captivity and more.
In 83 short, but intense, illustrated pages, how can you not fall in love with this thoughtful, morose little rodent? Certainly, everyone I shared this book with enjoyed it.
Miriam Elia, a British artist, and her brother, Ezra, have "translated" Edward's diary "from the original Hamster," drawing from memories of "an unusually gloomy hamster" named Edward they had the privilege to care for, but who has since gone to the great hamster wheel in the sky.

The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990 (Blue Rider Press) by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia is the illustrated musings of an unusually gloomy rodent who questions whether his cage is of his own making and goes on a 16-minute hunger strike.
The article notes:
Everyone experiences the occasional spiritual crisis, but saying you feel trapped in life can be an understatement when you're literally a hamster in a cage.
Such is the life of Edward the Hamster, the titular character of Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia's quirky book, The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990. Between boycotting his wheel and going on the occasional hunger strike, Edward experiences the combined existential struggles of Camus, Nietzsche and Sartre.
The article notes:
“We set up Dung Beetle Limited as a joke,” she laughs, “and it’s become a corporation with a ‘fulfilment centre’ to send out the books.” By we, she means herself and her older brother, Ezra, who is cited as co-author, and with whom she created a previous hit: The Diary of Edward the Hamster, 1990 to 1990. Their childhood memories of owning a hamster were the basis of this mordant story of an abused pet, which began life as a satire for Radio 4 before becoming a Sony-nominated animation and a book. It is a memorial to the suffering of the only pet the siblings were allowed growing up in north London, when they would really have preferred a dog. “Wednesday May 5: Why exist?” writes Edward. “Wednesday May 7: Two of them came today, dragged me out of my cage and put me in some kind of improvised maze made out of books and old toilet rolls.”

If anybody wants to create such an article, in my view WP:G4 would not apply. Transwiki-ing may be appropriate, but this page doesn't need to stay up for that to do so, since the material is available in hundreds of other locations online.

Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a single-market television and radio personality, who has a valid potential claim of notability but isn't even at the starting gate for referencing it properly -- every last reference present here is a primary source that cannot assist notability at all: her own website, her own LinkedIn, news content where she's the bylined author and not the subject. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source it properly, but a journalist gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of reliable source content created by other people, not by being the author of reliable source content about other things.

Here is policy: "Strongly consider if an alternative deletion process (speedy deletion, or proposed deletion) should be used. Check the deletion policy to see what things are not reasons for deletion. Consider whether you actually want the article to be merged, expanded, or cleaned up rather than deleted, and use the appropriate mechanism instead of AfD. Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD. The pages Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), Wikipedia:Notability (music), Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Notability (web), and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not are frequently cited in deletion discussions. Familiarize yourself with the ones relevant to the article in question. Consider adding a tag such as {{ cleanup}}, {{ disputed}} or {{ expert-subject}} instead; this may be preferable if the article has some useful content. Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. Neither of these actions requires an AfD." This article does not contain elements that warrant immediate deletion rather, it provides more opportunity to expand. The subject is undoubtedly notable, so why delete the page? Why not expand it and fix sources. Instead of boosting your own egos with very personal deletion reasons (especially in Domdeparis' case, by this point) why not help it expand. You aren't the sole opinions on the planet. Help, don't harm. Jkmarold55 ( talk)

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself -- Examples include credible online magazines such as OkayAfrica [1] and online reprints of broadcast media, such as Viacom-owned MTV Base/MTV Networks Africa [2]
2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart -- Requirement does not specify concerning song ownership, as artist has songwriting rights to charting singles in Nigeria and Africa. Examples include "Marry Me" by Falz ft. Poe and Yemi Alade and "Chardonnay Music" by Falz ft. Poe and Chyn [3]
6. Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles -- This guideline should be satisfied by involvement in Collectiv3, but also under Mavin Records. Artists signed to the label can be considered an ensemble due to the release of their compilations [4]
8. Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award -- It should be taken into consideration that the Nigerian Entertainment Awards and The Headies are two of Africa's (let alone Nigeria's) biggest awards shows, for which this artist has been both nominated and an award recipient.
10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. -- Again, this should be satisfied by the Collectiv3 involvement/release of 'Collectiv3' compilation album. Also, artist has had several performance/appearances on several Nigerian television shows. Examples include: 'The Juice'/Ndani TV [5] and Ebonylife TV [6]
11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network -- Artist is regularly in rotation on national radio stations. Also, MTV Base is a major African television network ( MTV Networks Africa/Viacom). Artist has had singles/music videos including top single "Adore Her" in MTV's rotation as well as mentioned in online extension of television channel [7].
12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network -- Artist is regularly featured on national radio. While broadcasts are not online, examples of artist presence include online features: Urban 96.5 [8], Fuze Radio [9] and Smooth FM 98.1 personality Folu Storms' radio show (extended online [10]) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EVER Entertainment ( talk • contribs) 23:22, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I am nominating Software Quality Solutions AG for deletion because in 7 years time, it has failed to get a verifiable source other than it's own website on the wiki. I believe it violates policy #7: Verifiability, and policy #8: Notability, as well as possibly policy #4 advertisement.
When Googling the company, the first 4 pages are either their own sources or just stock updates, or reports on their profits. Nothing on what they actually do. As far as I can tell from outside sources, the company only makes profits, and I don't feel that is notable.
Furthermore, the since there seems to be a lack of coverage of anything other than their profits, the only thing we can really say for sure about the company from 3rd party sources is their profits and stocks. Because of this, most of the article should be removed as it's not sourced.
Finally, the page has had problems in the past where it was written like an advertisement. Likely the company itself wrote it's article, and uses it to generate business. This is a violation of the guidelines.
This is my first major change to Wikipedia, and please let me know if I'm out of line here. I came here looking for information about what they do, and what their software does, but instead found the same information that occurs on their website. I honestly don't know why this whole page couldn't be replaced by a redirect to their website. ChthonicOne ( talk) 14:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Inadequately sourced biography of a person notable primarily as a city councillor. While Glasgow is a large and prominent enough city that its councillors would be deemed to pass WP:NPOL if they were sourced properly, this rests almost entirely on primary sources (birth and marriage registers, and the council's own archived records of its own internal business), with just one piece of actual reliable source coverage shown at all. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually show a greater volume of media coverage than this, but city councillors do not get an automatic NPOL pass just because they exist -- a city councillor's includability is entirely conditional on her sourceability, and the sources shown here aren't adequate.

This mess of an article is self-promotion by a subject who does not meet basic notability criteria nor the criteria at WP:AUTHOR. Despite various attempts to tone down the promotional content added by a large number of COI sockpuppet accounts, the article is still basically a giant advertisement, contravening our policies on what Wikipedia is not. It is written in an unencyclopedic tone, and there are still active accounts adding blatantly promotional content and spamming the talk page. Every one of the subject's supposed "major works" is a red link. I looked one up on on Amazon and it appears to be a self-published work with minimal impact. The few reviews are fake, written with over-the-top praise by reviewers who have ONLY reviewed publications by this guy. Basically this guy is a master of self-promotion through the use of sockpuppet accounts. The references are often self-published, and the few reliable news media links are brief articles expressing surprise that someone wrote a very long poem on Justin Trudeau.
The awards do not appear to be reputable. The " International Society of Poets" and " International Library of Poetry" are associated with Poetry.com, a vanity press. The only Google results for the words "Missionary Albanian Artists Association" or "Albanian Martyrs National Association" is this article – granted, it could be a language issue but the general point is that the awards, if they are awards, are not enough to confer notability.

The article notes:
But while Edward might have failed as a pet, he did leave what the Elias call “an enduring mark on their collective psyche.” So much so that he’s the force behind the sibling duo’s new graphic novel, “The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990.”
The book came about after Miriam performed a stage reading of Edward’s “journals” in London in 2011 and attracted a publisher’s attention. It positions the brother-and-sister team as translators and Edward as a disillusioned author who thinks there must be more to life than eating seeds and spinning on his wheel for Ezra and Miriam’s entertainment.
...
But the Edward of the book, is whip-smart and hyperarticulate. He makes wry observations about life, punctuated with lofty existential theories. Of a cat, he writes, “He is just a dumb and senseless brute — he is allowed to roam free, for the bars are locked firmly on his mind.”
The article notes:
The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990–1990
by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia • September 26, Blue Rider Press, 96 pp., $14.95
Fans of Henri, the existentialist cat of Internet fame, will probably fall even harder for diarist Edward the Hamster's brief, pocket-sized belles lettres. As ill-fated as any pet hamster, the defiant Edward, unlike the others, "will not do tricks." Instead, he desperately seeks connection and meaning before his tiny shade passes through its painfully brief earthly journey. He goes on a 16-minute hunger strike, he contemplates murdering his ignorant cellmate, he ponders freedom and existence. "Death is the final cage," muses Edward. "None shall escape."
The article notes:
Elia, Miriam & Ezra Elia. The Diary of Edward the Hamster, 1990–1990. Blue Rider: Penguin Group (USA). Sept. 2013. 96p. ISBN 9780399165979. pap. $14.95. HUMOR
This wicked little book by a sister-and-brother team from Britain features a hamster in existential anguish as he whirls about his wheel: “They can take my freedom, but they will never take my soul.” Billed for fans of Tim Burton and Edward Gorey and actually quite funny, if you like dark.
The article notes:
Non-fiction THE DIARY OF EDWARD THE HAMSTER 1990-1990 BY MIRIAM ELIA AND ERZA ELIA (BOXTREE, £6.99) A COLLABORATION between brother and sister duo Miriam and Ezra Elia, The Diary Of Edward The Hamster 1990-1990 is an 80-page journal written through the eyes of the titular rodent.
Described as a "deliciously dark gothic giftbook, for pet lovers and anguished existentialists of all ages", the book is a celebration of the short-lived hamster's life.
Interspersed with black and white drawings of our furry hero by Ezra Elia, this is a genuinely funny personal diary containing entries such as Edward's thoughts on the meaning of his life, his views towards his owners and his joy when he finally gets a friend to cohabit with, who he then promptly conspires to murder.
A lovely stocking filler for animal lovers or philosophers alike, this is perfect for those who have ever wondered about the possible inner-workings of a hamster's mind.
The article notes:
My favourite autobiography this year comes from a hamster. In The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990–1990, edited by Miriam and Ezra Elia (Macmillan, GBP6.99), Edward relates his life story in gnomic, existential entries. May 5 reads: "Why Exist?" May 7: "The vet came today. He touched me. Apparently I am a woman." It does not end on a high note, but his love for Camilla (the other hamster) is heartbreaking.
The article notes:
“The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990” by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia (Blue Rider Press, 96 pages, in stores)
This book is perfect for three types of people: pet lovers, fans of dark comedy and angsty existentialists struggling to escape life’s prison. Then again, maybe it’s only good for the first two kinds of people. The third might find it pointless to read a book, even a thin one like this.
As the title suggests, the book purports to be the diary of a hamster who lived a short and unhappy life locked in a cage, enduring daily torments. He mourns the fact that no one remembers the six-month anniversary of his acceptance into the family, tries to avoid contact with his owners and tries to figure out why he has such a miserable life.
Edward is nothing if not defiant. ...

Three new books take unorthodox approaches to the usually sober subject of philosophy.
"The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990" (Blue Rider Press) by Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia is the illustrated musings of an unusually gloomy rodent who questions whether his cage is of his own making and goes on a 16-minute hunger strike.
The article notes:
Welcome to Edward's world, asking the big questions about the meaning of life, love, friendship, captivity and more.
In 83 short, but intense, illustrated pages, how can you not fall in love with this thoughtful, morose little rodent? Certainly, everyone I shared this book with enjoyed it.
Miriam Elia, a British artist, and her brother, Ezra, have "translated" Edward's diary "from the original Hamster," drawing from memories of "an unusually gloomy hamster" named Edward they had the privilege to care for, but who has since gone to the great hamster wheel in the sky.

The article notes:
Everyone experiences the occasional spiritual crisis, but saying you feel trapped in life can be an understatement when you're literally a hamster in a cage.
Such is the life of Edward the Hamster, the titular character of Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia's quirky book, The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990. Between boycotting his wheel and going on the occasional hunger strike, Edward experiences the combined existential struggles of Camus, Nietzsche and Sartre.
The article notes:
“We set up Dung Beetle Limited as a joke,” she laughs, “and it’s become a corporation with a ‘fulfilment centre’ to send out the books.” By we, she means herself and her older brother, Ezra, who is cited as co-author, and with whom she created a previous hit: The Diary of Edward the Hamster, 1990 to 1990. Their childhood memories of owning a hamster were the basis of this mordant story of an abused pet, which began life as a satire for Radio 4 before becoming a Sony-nominated animation and a book. It is a memorial to the suffering of the only pet the siblings were allowed growing up in north London, when they would really have preferred a dog. “Wednesday May 5: Why exist?” writes Edward. “Wednesday May 7: Two of them came today, dragged me out of my cage and put me in some kind of improvised maze made out of books and old toilet rolls.”

Obvious self promotion (e.g., "update of my CV"), but besides, I'm not finding much of anything source-wise.

Contested PROD. Appears to be an honorific title bestowed by Jamia Darussalam, and only duplicates what little content is already in the main article.

A7 was declined with the rationale that: "maybe not "Big Brother" or "Get A Mac" but Apple ads tend to be somewhat iconic". While I agree that Apple ads do tend to get notoriety, I don't think all of them are significant enough to pass A7.

Non-notable stand-up comedian and actor. Basic searches for sources did not pull up anything showing that he has received sufficent coverage in reliable sources to show that he passes notability. The creator (whose name implies this might be autobiographical) has been given opportunity to address the concerns but they simply deleted all tags/advice without addressing the concerns, so I am bringing this to a formal deletion discussion.

Non-notable politician, PRODs and Speedies (as an unsourced BLP) keep being repeatedly removed, but a search for sources does not bring up anything. The name is not uncommon, but when I search with additional keywords (ie, Janta) to try and narrow down I don't find anything. Not sure if it is really speedy-able, hence bringing to discussion. Please be careful when looking for sources, as there are hits for other Shubham Singhs who should not be confused with this person (ie, criminals, gangsters, murderers...)

I would also refer you to pages of the other survivors of the Romove family, and their resources like
Prince Andrew Romanov which is a very good example. These people are notable but because of the conditions and exile there are not a lot of news and articles on them. So I think we should keep their name and legacy alive.

The result was Delete without prejudice to recreation. This is a sufficiently significant subject that I have no doubt that a proper, sourced article could be written about it, but for the time being there is literally no content sourced to secondary sources present in it, and nobody has added any during the time that it has been nominated for deletion. If anybody wants to create such an article, in my view WP:G4 would not apply. Transwiki-ing may be appropriate, but this page doesn't need to stay up for that to do so, since the material is available in hundreds of other locations online.

Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a single-market television and radio personality, who has a valid potential claim of notability but isn't even at the starting gate for referencing it properly -- every last reference present here is a primary source that cannot assist notability at all: her own website, her own LinkedIn, news content where she's the bylined author and not the subject. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source it properly, but a journalist gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of reliable source content created by other people, not by being the author of reliable source content about other things. Bearcat ( talk) 05:30, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Here is policy: "Strongly consider if an alternative deletion process (speedy deletion, or proposed deletion) should be used. Check the deletion policy to see what things are not reasons for deletion. Consider whether you actually want the article to be merged, expanded, or cleaned up rather than deleted, and use the appropriate mechanism instead of AfD. Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD. The pages Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), Wikipedia:Notability (music), Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Notability (web), and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not are frequently cited in deletion discussions. Familiarize yourself with the ones relevant to the article in question. Consider adding a tag such as {{ cleanup}}, {{ disputed}} or {{ expert-subject}} instead; this may be preferable if the article has some useful content. Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. Neither of these actions requires an AfD." This article does not contain elements that warrant immediate deletion rather, it provides more opportunity to expand. The subject is undoubtedly notable, so why delete the page? Why not expand it and fix sources. Instead of boosting your own egos with very personal deletion reasons (especially in Domdeparis' case, by this point) why not help it expand.

Tourist information station which got missed in the recent round of deletion batches, because it wasn't actually filed in Category:Tourist information radio stations in Canada. As with the others, however, it's still a low-power station, broadcasting a format that WP:NMEDIA explicitly deprecates as non-notable, whose current operational status is unverifiable because this class of stations is now exempt from CRTC licensing -- thus leaving us with no way to determine whether it's still operating or not, or when it went defunct if it's not, or anything else about it beyond a boilerplate statement of existence.
