Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brandon Steven (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. This one is not clear cut. However after three relists it's time to close this. IMO the weight of consensus and argument favors deletion and I don't think it's close enough to call it no consensus. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:52, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I had prodded this, but it was pointed out that this had been BLP-prodded before in its complicated history (a result of copy/paste jobs). It has also been at AfD--see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brandon Steven. So I'm choosing AfD again: non-notable local car dealer who made the local papers a few times--not notable by our standards. Drmies (talk) 16:18, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep The Wichita Eagle is not exactly a "local" paper but is widely considered a regional source with circulation reported at 47,000 weekdays and 100,000 on Sunday. I don't buy the pitch that just because he's a car dealer means he's not notable. There's significant coverage here -- mainly from Wichita Eagle, but other sources too. Some of it looks a little awkward at times so there's some BLP issues to edit around.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:31, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Paul McDonald. Significant, non-trivial coverage in a regional newspaper, plus a few other scattered sources. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 20:56, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete car dealers aren't generally notable. Coverage in the Wichita Eagle is not enough for general notability, and neither is finishing 10th in the World Series of Poker main event. I agree it's a marginal case, but there are WP:BLP/NPOV concerns in the article as written, so my vote is Delete. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:08, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- a glorified CV of a nn entrepreneur. Reads like WP:ADVOCACY; no value to the project at this time. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:06, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Local coverage is local coverage, no matter how many people read that local paper. Exemplo347 (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
