Need to beef up claim of notability

Comment: Before this article can be accepted, any potentially controversial statement about any living person must be cited "in-line" or the un-cited statement should be removed and restored later when a citation is found. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and Wikipedia:References for help in this area. 07:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)In-line reference problem solved. ~~Assessing WP:RS and WP:NOTABILITY.~~ davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:44, 24 February 2013 (UTC) Almost all sources are either not independent of the subject or are not reputable enough to establish notability. However, the NPR interview combined with brief mentions in other reliable sources are enough to get this past a quick-fail. Therefore, I am moving it over to the main article space. However, if this goes to WP:Articles for Deletion it will likely need additional support of its notability from reliable sources. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:50, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of article may be a poseur from the mediawhore tribe of the wannabe hollywood bwiti, but he definitely is notable enough to have a article. Vice and Village Voice covered him in the past year.

Dimitri Mobengo Mugianis → Dimitri Mugianis – Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically. Vidoun (talk) 03:52, 27 July 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

Oppose. To my surprise I get many times more ghits for the longer name, and they all look relevant for the first few pages. The links given by nom seem to be primary sources, and not so relevant. Andrewa (talk) 11:22, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Salon.com, The New York Times and High Times are all secondary sources. Sean Stephens (talk) 00:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support moving to the common name, as opposed to maintaining it at the birth name. Note to Vidoun: It does tend to help requested moves to pass if a detailed rationale regarding why it should be moved is included. Sean Stephens (talk) 03:56, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
