The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Dancing on Ice (UK). No consensus to delete. Reasonable arguments for both keeping and redirecting. IMHO the arguments to redirect are slightly stronger. No prejudice against restoring if cleaned up (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

The skater is only notable due to appearances on "Dancing on Ice" or variations of the same show. The skater does not have any real notability. There are many Ice skaters that would deserve more recognition for example those who participate in recognised national or international competitions or tournaments. The "personal life" section is completely irrelevant too. The article is also written very subjectively almost like an advertisement or promotional page

• Keep Notability established through appearances in various national newspaper. Article needs a lot of tidy-up - removal of the selfref, removal of unreferenced facts - but, seems more thatn a single event, and seems notable.  Chzz  ►  16:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

• Redirect to Dancing on Ice and merge a reduced amount of text. All the sources I could find related to his work on DOI. Keeping an entire biography with duplciate material gives Dancing WP:UNDUE weight compared to his supposed professional career which I have been unable to verify. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
• Redirect to Dancing on Ice then merge with reduced text. Agreed, though would be a good solution. Just because "Pavel Aubrecht" appeared in a national newspaper does not give him notability, many minor celebrities appear in national newspapers (tabloids) as do contestants of well known game shows. None justify an encyclopaedia entry. The individual has no professional career outside the show "Dancing on Ice" and is merely a contestant who has auditioned. The article is created by a single person by the looks of it and seems to be a "fan page". - User:Williamtildesley|^(talk) 15.29, 28 April 2009 (GMT)
• Keep because he has been in many national sources and none of the other professionals are being deleted. Passes WP:N quite easily. A bloke called Andrew^Convos_{My Messies} 15:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

• Keep I am the creator of this article. I am sorry if some people are not happy with it. I don't see much of a problem with it. I am happy for anyone to edit the page to tidy it up a bit but i don't see why it should be deleted. Other Dancing on Ice professionals have similar articles on Wikipedia and they are not up for deletion. I just think Pavel deserves some recognition for what he does. I am always updating the site and Pavel himself said i could start the site. He will provide more infomation for the site, including more information about his artwork. So the article is not just all about Dancing on Ice. - User:tomo359|^(talk) 15.29, 28 April 2009 (GMT)
  • Comment Your argument for keeping this isn't exactly inline with the policies that determine if we should keep it. Please read: WP:ILIKEIT WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS WP:COI and most importantly WP:N. Spiesr (talk) 23:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
• Keep Sufficiently referenced. --Vejvančický (talk) 20:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
