- WP:GNG literally says "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below." but rather it needs to be assessed against verifiable, reliable and independent sources. So could you rather help improve the article instead of deleting it. Remove and or rephrase material which you think is appears promotional, so that it is more neutral. In other words, help out!
