Promo piece on a non-notable TV personality. The sources are all churnalism, passing mentions, non-reliable and/or primary sources, which don't come even close to meeting WP:GNG; meanwhile, a recurring part in a soap opera doesn't satisfy WP:NACTOR. Previously draftified and moved back into main space by the author, so AfD it is. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:09, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: Although some of the sources are questionable, there is enough coverage in mainstream news to meet notability. The subject is a television presenter and actor[1], just like how a musician can be a one hit wonder. He is clearly notable and discussed in multiple RS, meaning he pass WP:GNG. A simple Google search is enough. TroyeMins (talk) 18:24, 12 March 2025 (UTC)strike sock -- Ponyobons mots 20:58, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Best I can find are articles about his graduation [2], which don't really offer much beyond reposting social media feeds and saying what happened. I don't find much sourcing otherwise... The sources used in the article don't seem to be RS per Cite Highlighter either, most being yellow, so average. Oaktree b (talk) 20:21, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I removed some obvious puffery and was working through the refs looking for notability. I found none in the given refs or in before searches. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 03:23, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
