Article about a non-notable subject who fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and WP:ENTERTAINER. Only known for being a housemate in the Big Brother Season 6. A show they fail to win. The subject also appeared in minor movie roles. —Nnadigoodluck███ 00:55, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Good morning. Wikipedia is built on citations from independent sources and good faith i.e believing in rhe judgement of your fellow Wikipedians. And because you have no interest in a topic doesn't mean it isn't notable.

Some Wikipedia pages are more significant than others. Not all Wikipedia pages can be about characters as profound as Adolf Hitler or Barack Obama. However saying a page isn't notable, just because it is not as notable as some others is fallacy.

Here are Credible media houses (that are Blue linked) citing what roles he played in a movie that someone he has the guts to call irrelevant.

Put the page up for improvement and not deletion because thats the best course of action. If we really want to work, in the spirit of what Wikipedia is about, we should all be improving pages, not deleting them

Bella Naija,^[1] Daily Post (Nigeria),^[2] P.M. News,^[3] and The Guardian (Nigeria)^[4] And all these were even before he went to Big Brother Naija.

The subject not winning Big Brother Naija doesn't make him non notable. As a matter of fact,most past winners of Big Brother Naija winners have gone into oblivion after winning. From Katung Aduwak, Miracle Igbokwe, Whitemoney.

• Delete: They fail to meet WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:GNG, and WP:MUSICBIO. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Did you actually read those articles WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO or you're just brandishing links for the sake of it. What I'm expecting is that the page be put up for improvement, because saying the subject isn't notable is fallacy. But there is room for improvement

A Wikipedia rule also says that if you don't know much about something, its okay to leave it the way it is. If you don't have a full grasp on Nigerian stuff, then it is not a must you deliberate on it sir. Amaekuma (talk) 23:21, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stating that other experienced Wikipedia editors are brandishing links for the sake of it and commenting that A Wikipedia rule also says that if you don't know much about something, its okay to leave it the way it is is inaccurate. Contrary to your previous comments, no editor is comparing the notability of this in contrast to other articles, so I'm unsure where you got this part from. Thanks.

• Delete per Hey man im josh. Many sources fail WP:SIGCOV, I would encourage @Amaekuma: to read this. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 22:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete. The sources are routine announcements, interviews, and mentions that fail WP:SIGCOV, as per WP:GNG, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources, which is the case here. The roles are minor and also fails WP:NACTOR, I could not find WP:SIGCOV-meeting sources per my BEFORE. VickKiang (talk) 01:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
