Local political lore in a place of pop. 14,000; fails WP:NEVENT, coverage is very much restricted to the local newspapers Kraxler (talk) 14:19, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The controversies were definitely notable to be mentioned in so many news outlet, and even considering the local sources heavily outweigh any national ones, there's not really a requirement for an article to have multiple national sources for the subject of it to be considered notable. It doesn't overuse a single source, it uses multiple sources from many newspapers, which is why I feel it should be kept. SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 17:09, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you check again the sources. There are dead links, official election department candidates' listings, and a lot of pieces from the Pichilemu local papers. There are about three sources from bigger newspapers for a few particular points, but that doesn't mean that the whole lot gets suddenly notable. See also WP:COATRACK.

Kraxler, I suggest you withdraw this nomination. I could even, myself, give you access to El Mercurio web archives (I'm a suscriber) so that you can see yourself there is plenty of coverage on this series of events. Not to mention, La Tercera, El Rancagüino (offline) and other non-local references... (I see you have a problem with local sources) Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 01:17, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read carefully WP:LASTING, WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:DIVERSE. Kraxler (talk) 01:27, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These don't have anything to do with this particular article. Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 01:33, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They are guidelines applicable to all articles on events. Kraxler (talk) 01:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Question probably for Diego Grez-Cañete and SuperCarnivore591 who are voting keep on this and other articles: I note that none of these subjects has an article in a Spanish-language Wikipedia, even though it takes place in a Spanish-language country and the sources all seem to be in Spanish. Why is that? There is an article in @es WP on Pichilemu, but it has none of these particulars. Thanks. LaMona (talk) 03:31, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- It's probably because the Spanish Wikipedia has less editors than the English Wikipedia does, and no one has gotten around to it (although some Spanish-speaking editors have undoubtedly worked on the article here, as most of the references are written in Spanish). SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 03:38, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I second SuperCarnivore's comment. Also, I have always felt more comfortable editing here than on the Spanish edition, that's why I never got to create articles about these topics there. --Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 04:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Pertinent info can also be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marta Urzúa and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 75#Memoria Pichilemina. Kraxler (talk) 13:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - I think SuperCarnivore591 misunderstood the question. This article does not exist in the Spanish Wikipedia. Why? Because Chilean and Spanish-languages users have long-ago seen trough Diego Grez's biased (albeit sometimes good) editing. Diego Grez many users have blocked in the Spanish Wikipedia.

Delete: WP:GEOSCOPE sums it up, occasional references in non-local sources but not enough impact to pass WP:NEVENT. Vrac (talk) 14:38, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:GNG. --Keysanger (talk) 14:56, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, too little coverage to justify an article on its own. There is also a WP:BIO concern about the subjects here. This material belongs in the website Memoria pichilemina, not here. Sietecolores (talk) 10:26, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Inadequate notability--we do not cover local politics to this level of detail. DGG ( talk ) 05:57, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
