I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Mrluke485 with no rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). What can I say - two years has passed since the prod, the article still fails to indicate notability just like it did back then. And I still don't see any in-depth coverage, few passing mentions is all I am able to find, and that does not seem sufficient to warrant keeping this as an independent bio. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:13, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I removed the prod, because it was never explained why you wanted it deleted. This man was involved directly with the Eurovision Song Contest, the reference I provided was from a well insighted Eurovision book, surely that's enough evidence for this article to excist. I personally don't want most of these articles that play key involvements with the Eurovision Song Contest to go, it isn't fair. MrLuke485 (Talk), 21:40, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Google results for this person are almost non existent, only relevant hits are this Wikipedia article and a couple of other sites that have basically copied this article, fails WP:GNG in my opinion Seasider91 (talk) 16:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - per WP:GNG. Plenty of mentions in books and/or Eurovision links. Work at Eurovision is notable. The already existing source alone is establishing notaiblity. BabbaQ (talk) 20:51, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Work at Eurovision is notable. Seriously, this argument is getting old, and it is not supported by anyone except you and one or two Eurovision fans. How about you try to pass Wikipedia:Notability (Eurovision) by the community first, before repeating the same line time and again, given that there is certainly no consensus for it? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:51, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - why would a scrutineer be considered notable? One reference does not establish notability.--Rpclod (talk) 21:40, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  Is that a question? Or a standpoint. Yes, one ref does establish notability if it is good, and it is. BabbaQ (talk) 23:13, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Seems to fail WP:Notability. Has not has received significant coverage in reliable sources. Subject is already mentioned in Eurovision Song Contest article. CBS527^Talk 21:33, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as I've been watching this and I will note there's still simply been nothing for an independent notable article, hence delete. SwisterTwister talk 23:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. All the sources seem to confirm that, yes, he did work on Eurovision. None of the sources I could find provide really in depth coverage required for WP:GNG. I don't have access to the source used in the article, but I find it doubtful that it would devote more than a page to the subject and that is not enough to provide depth of coverage. I am open to being proved wrong. No longer a penguin (talk) 09:22, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
