An interesting combination of an advertisement for a physician sourced to press releases, and a tragic account of the death of two cats. Neither half is encyclopedic. Originally submitted as draft with the title Will Powers (physician), and quite reasonably declined twice by two different reviewers. Resubmitted a third term (with a slightly variant title) and also entered directly into mainspace. The photo was taken by the contributor of the article. NOT ADVERTISEMENT and NOT NEWS.

Delete for failing notability guidelines, as well as per nom. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:57, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment hi I created the page after attempting to create a draft and feeling that the draft got unfairly declined. I don't believe I used any press releases in this article, only sources considered reputable on Wikipedia. Please explain which sources are inappropriate for Wikipedia, and which aspects of the page are not notable? I believe all the sources indicate notability. I have no conflict of interest other than personal interest in the topic of transgender healthcare. Like the underrepresentation of women on Wikipedia, transgender topics are also underrepresented. I also want to clarify that I used a public domain image, not a photo taken by myself. Please assume good faith. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 19:16, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Creating an article after the draft has been declined multiple times is not acceptable, period. First and foremost, the doctor is not notable, even if the sources are reliable. And no, a supposed underrepresentation of transgender topics is not an excuse for dodging or ignoring notability guidelines. There is nothing that sets this doctor apart from any other conscientious citizen who does something for his or her community. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:02, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no evidence that the individual meets GNG, and while I have no doubt that the creator acted in good faith, the only sources available resulted in the article taking a tone that could be seen as promotional. BilledMammal (talk) 22:28, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. A majority of the sourcing is promotional or otherwise hagiographic in tone. There is a lack of significant coverage, and thus WP:GNG is not met. The information about the cats does not convey any notability whatsoever. The attempt to circumvent the process is not relevant to my !vote, but it is noted. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:31, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly does not meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:03, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
