Santiago M Rosell

Contested prods. User has created articles on himself,his father and his friend, none of whom meet notability requirements. See also this version, before I tidied it. Paulbrock (talk) 09:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC) Also included in this afd:[reply]

Keep Firstly, Santiago M Rosell is far from not meeting notability requirements. Indeed he is not as widely known as some would like right now but he will rapidly become a house hold name very soon. Just because he USER made articles on another cyclist and Santiago's Father does not mean he is worth deleting His Father and fellow cyclist are very well known with in the industry they are associated with. I get numerous Google News hits and even many google web hits. Santiago Rosell 15:55, 9 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.244.244.41 (talk)

Speedy delete as vanity - as evidenced by the staggeringly immodest self-promotion by the ostensible subject of the proposal in this very section. AlexTiefling (talk) 14:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete Clearly falls short of our current standards for athletes. As for "rapidly become a house hold name very soon", well, good luck with that. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:29, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strongest of deletes complete and absolute garbage. JuJube (talk) 16:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Keep, Here is the link were you will find any amount of websites you need with info on Santiago http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBR_enBE237BE237&q=Santiago+Rosell.Sandman921 (talk) 19:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.244.244.41 (talk) [reply]

- Comment Enclosing it in quotes gets under 400 Ghits, far less impressive. JuJube (talk) 18:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Listen I appreciate and understand why all everyone wants this article delted but the end fact is the subject is making a name for him self and doing well at it he has been racing in Europe for years busting his but and is finally seeing the fruits of his labor.

Strongly Keep, I strongly disagree with previous posts that demean the efforts of this young man. It might be argued that he may not have followed the exact guidelines for publishing a page on Wikipedia, but his notoriety in his sport is no less that the current featured article or the same as many others found on this site. Just a quick review of his name on Google should prove the results of his commitment to his sport. The Cycling Center is a proving ground for cyclists in Europe and his association with Johan Bruynell (Lance Armstrong’s coach) is a testament to his potential. Personally, I detect a note of selfish editorial rubbish. I might suggest you invest your time more wisely.Sandman1950 (talk 20:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. They seem like nice, successful people...with not a shred of independent notability. If notability is established (later), then an article will be appropriate...later still. (See also WP:CRYSTAL) Frank | talk 19:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong DeleteThese are articles that demean professional and top amateur cyclists who have truly "made it." Must be deleted. Let's see what these kids do in a few years. They are obviously talented and good cyclists, but by no means do they merit entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seth8a (talk • contribs) 20:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all three. So far the keep proponents are making general WP:ILIKEIT arguments, but I have not seen any solid and virifiable evidence of notability by independent reliable sources presented for any of the three people in question. Nsk92 (talk) 23:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No notability established. KleenupKrew (talk) 10:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It is always nice to see peoples comments on something they know absolutely nothing about this guy is not demeaning anything or any one he is a cyclist who has over come more than most and is doing something no one has done before. But no matter what is said people will want to delete it it is just how the human brain operated always to focus on the negative. In conclusion this Kid does not need wiki for the success and fame that he is receiving. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.244.244.41 (talk)

More WP:ILIKEIT arguments. If he is really that successful and famous, there shouldn't be a problem with finding and citing reliable sources to that effect. You are welcome to do that and when you do, I'd be happy to change my vote. Nsk92 (talk) 10:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
