User:A930913/RfC Joel Weiner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have already challenged the deletion of the article Joel Weiner and lost about ten days ago, however since the review, another piece of material has been published indicating notability. The subject in question, as well as the following below, has written an article published in a national newspaper (half page, right below an article written by an Ambassador to the United Kingdom). See additional material below, but in short, do I challenge again with this new material or will I just look arrogant? 16:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Click here and go to page 12 (online version of newspaper).
He is also in another publication by the same company which can be found on the bottom left of page 3 here.

Here was the appeal:

Joel Weiner's page was deleted on the grounds of lack of notability and I wish to appeal. I contacted the admin who deleted and they said I should appeal here.

I've collected some links of independent sources on Joel Weiner.

There have also been many printed newspapers featuring articles on him; here is one I found that you can view online (page 2).

The above list included six national newspapers.

Rejection of WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E: At the time of the deletion, there were two events, one in October last year and one in April this month. Since the deletion, he has appeared in relation to other events such as http://www.thejc.com/community/community-life/30824/tv-star-joel-weiner-joins-big-bnei-akiva-event and most notably was asked by The Jewish Chronicle to put a question to each of his local MPs which was in print, but I have found to be online at http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/30843/leaders-debate-jewish-boy-puts-more-questions-leaders

WP:BASIC is met by multiple independent sources, as noted above. WP:ENT clause 2 incidentally is also met; he has a fan base on facebook exceeding 15,000 people: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Jewish-Kid-From-The-First-Election-Debate/110963155604635

For these reasons, I believe there should be an article. Thank you. 930913/A930913(Congratulate/Complaints) 27 April 2010

[edit]

I don't have much experience with article deletion but I based on my general Wiki experience with noticeboards, disputes etc. I would say to wait a bit, let things settle down and gather more sources. I'm not sure this one additional sources makes a whole lot of difference and coming back so soon with just one more source could give folks the impression you're a bit overzealous. Why not wait a while? Good luck my friend, --KbobTalk 21:02, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Nothing has significantly changed since the page's Deletion Review. My opinion remains the same as it always has. I also agree entirely with what Keithbob says above. ╟─TreasuryTagcabinet─╢ 17:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
