Keep (article creator) - When searching gnews, remember to click "Archives" if you want to search all articles rather than just recent ones. There's this 7:30 Report segment from 2005 which I forgot to cite in the article initially. He won a national youth comedy competition at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2005. Hadchiti receives significant coverage in the reference above from the ABC, satisfying WP:N.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 10:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

winning the "national youth comedy competition at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival " does not satisfy WP:CREATIVE. this does not get significant coverage in ABC, just 2 hits [3]. LibStar (talk) 10:18, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the risk of WP:DTTR, the GNG trumps WP:CREATIVE.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 10:32, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the archives search comes up with 1 hit. hardly evidence of significant coverage. LibStar (talk) 03:39, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the refs in the article are just sufficient to meet the WP:GNG or WP:ENT -he has had multiple stage performances at major festivals (note that counter-intuitively WP:CREATIVE isn't actually meant for commedians), and I'd like to point out to the nominator that Trove isn't very useful for modern day searches - it only has very limited current information - it is most useful for it's digitised newspaper archive, which stops in the 1950s. The-Pope (talk) 13:50, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

then google news should pick up recent coverage, and there is no evidence of significant indepth coverage for this person. LibStar (talk) 03:37, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No significant career, no significant coverage. Drmies (talk) 01:20, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to satisfy WP:GNG, one has to consider the quality of the sources. obviously ABC is a reliable source. but dbmagazine although an independent publication seems rather small, especially when there are ads for band members to contact a gmail address on the side banner. femail.com.au is not a mainstream source either. it reviews events. but looks like an advertising website to me http://www.femail.com.au/index.htm.

Keep. In my opinion the 7.30 Report ref almost gets him over the GNG line by itself. Agree that the other sources currently in the article aren't mainstream, but I've found a few more sources that I think guarantee Hadchiti meets GNG.
- Timms, Daryl (15 May 2008). "NRL show not short on ideas". Herald Sun. p. 98.
- "My sister, oh brother". Diamond Valley Leader. 7 May 2008. p. 405.
- "Making big strides in comedy in a short time". Diamond Valley Leader. 24 October 2007. p. 19.
- Ierodiaconou, George (17 October 2007). "Laughs with the comic lot". Hume Leader. p. 28.
I'd link to all these if I could, but I accessed them using NewsBank, so a subscription is required. Although the last three refs are in regional papers, they do add to the notability, add I think Hadchit meets GNG when you take the 7.30 Report and Herald Sun references into account.

Keep per improvements and sourcing. Thanks Jenks24. It's just over the edge per WP:GNG, and notable to Australia is fine for en.Wikipedia. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 10:27, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 7:30 Report is sufficiently independent, and other sources appear to confirm notability. Orderinchaos 08:32, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - in view of comments from Jenks and Orderinchaos - also Trove is not a major search engine, as such but a national library database that utilises library resources at a particular date in time - and due its constant development cannot be thought of as a final piece of evidence of notability of anything in the Australian context - there are many people who wouldnt get a hit on trove who are notable and well sourced from other information sources Satu Suro 07:28, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
