CommanderWaterford, this needs a rationale? AllyD (talk) 18:03, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep article needs a total rewrite but subject clearly passes GNGBlackumbra (talk) 18:25, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Draft This nomination needs a stated rationale, but I can see several grounds. I am not convinced the subject meets GNG - a routine student, made known in one country for removal from an elected student representative position, and not having done anything very notable since - but as someone has done some work in gathering references, I'd be willing to give a chance to make a proper biography of it.

Either keep or move to draft. Agree with Blackumbra that the article needs a total re-write, but the subject clearly passes GNG. No rationale has even been given for deletion by the nominator. Serhatserhatserhat (talk) 17:10, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - much ado about nothing, petty student politics that no-one outside of the bubble cares about. Spleodrach (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While the nominator has not put forward any deletion rationale (and should have, and should frankly should have known that they should have), in terms of WP:COPYVIO, the content here objectively meets WP:G12. In that a very quick check confirms that it was wholescale "copy and pasted" from the sources on which it is based. While some of the copy/pasted content is passed-off as quotes and the like, the rest is not clarified as representing the original authors' work(s). And should be deleted for that reason. Alone. (We can't just wholescale copy and paste from 3 or 4 news articles, and pass it off as an article. We have long had policies in this regard. This is not new information for anyone. Including the editor who created this article.) Otherwise, in terms of WP:SIGCOV and WP:ANYBIO, it seems to me that any article on this subject (if written by an editor not blatantly plagiarising the work of others and pared back to the relevant facts) would fall within WP:BLP1E. Specifically, that the principal claim to notability arises from the subject's election to (and subsequent ejection from) a student representative body. Which, while it generated column inches at the time, all related to (effectively) the same event. In short: the current article should be deleted. As blatant copyvio/plagarism. And anyone contemplating replacing it (with something self-penned) should consider BLP1E. Guliolopez (talk) 00:26, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per WP:NOTCLEANUP. Article should be heavily rewritten. Other than that, it easily passes WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 01:20, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify Terrible article and needs rewritten. Plenty of coverage available to satisfy notability. It really needs WP:TNT and started from scratch. scope_creep^Talk 16:10, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
