14-year old railway activist. Coverage is limited to local news (weedonbec-village.co.uk www.northamptonchron.co.uk and local radio). Chuka Chief_talk 17:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Surely this young man will go on to wider notability but currently it's WP:TOOSOON. ... discospinster _talk 17:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• See also: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sustainable Transport Northamptonshire, which is the non-profit Burr runs.--Chuka Chief_talk 17:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support: I wrote the articles. I have frequent contact with Harry, and he's due to be in some national press/magazines/media in the coming months. Maybe this article is too late, in fact. Not many people like Harry exist in the UK, he deserves a spotlight, don't you think? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HumveeHardhat (talk • contribs) 17:46, 31 January 2021 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: HumveeHardhat (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

• Delete: a WP:BEFORE search seems to find nothing of note (only his social media). This is a clear case of WP:TOOSOON. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 19:00, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Kolma8 (talk) 20:48, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Draftify If the claim by the article creator is true, better to draftify this until the SIGCOV is released. Though, since this subject and Sustainable Transport Northamptonshire are tightly coupled, it is unlikely he will survive WP:BLP1E. Jumpytoo Talk 21:38, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support: Jumpytoo: Can you clarify what SIGCOV means, please. And I assume Draftify just means, make a Draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HumveeHardhat (talk • contribs) 21:58, 31 January 2021 (UTC) (Struck duplicate! vote Possibly (talk) 03:15, 1 February 2021 (UTC))[reply]

SIGCOV (Significant coverage, what is required to meet WP:GNG) would be the national press you discussed in your earlier vote. And yes, draftify would mean moving it into the Draft namespace. Jumpytoo Talk 06:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not yet a notable individual per the coverage and WP:GNG. Possibly (talk) 03:18, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion, topic fails GNG. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:52, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Possibly WP:TOOSOON; but it's more likely that the subject is like most local activists and organizers who, while noble in their pursuits, simply don't meet notability standards. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - the fact that he is 'due to be in some national press/magazines/media in the coming months' is an example of WP:CRYSTAL, we have no way of knowing whether he will be notable or not in the future. We can only assess his notability right now and, right now, there is not the level of coverage available to satisfy WP:GNG Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete; fails GNG. Nightfury 14:30, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:TOOSOON. I've tended to suggest deletion of articles about minors, unless they show very clearly WP:SIGCOV. Draftify is fine with me. I note that, by 2021, Wikipedia has been around for 20 years, and claims that an editor doesn't know we have policies are not as strong as they were in the past, or that some cause deserves a spotlight is not allowed. Bearian (talk) 21:29, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:TOOSOON - local and coverage of transport issue. Widefox; talk 18:14, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
