I propose that the article on Andrea Jin, a Canadian comedian, be deleted. The subject of this article does not appear to meet the [Notability guidelines for entertainers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Entertainers_and_broadcasters), specifically the criteria for comedians.

While Jin is a self proclaimed comedian, the article does not provide reliable secondary sources that discuss her in detail (literally only one paragraph), nor does it demonstrate that she has made significant, recognized contributions to the field of comedy. Only one secondary reference is in English. The only other primary link is to her website which is not considered independent, reliable sources according to Wikipedia's [guidelines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources).

From the information presented, it seems that this article may have been created primarily for promotional purposes rather than as an informative entry. Therefore, it may fall under Wikipedia's [guidelines on promotional content and advertising](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion).

I encourage other editors to contribute to this discussion so we can reach a consensus on the best course of action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.231.121.150 (talk • contribs)

Keep. Quite aside from the fact that you've done many, many things incorrectly here which have had to be corrected, including creating the discussion page in talk space, not formatting it correctly and not even linking to Wikipedia guidelines correctly, you're not even reading the guidelines correctly in the first place.
There's nothing "promotional" in the article's tone, for starters, and even more importantly the notability guidelines for comedians most certainly are met by having won a top-level award like the Juno Awards — the Junos are one of those top-level national awards that are in and of themselves an automatic notability clinch for the winners per "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor", and that's not up for any debate. Could the article be better? Yeah, I'll grant that in its current form it isn't very long and could potentially be expanded with more information. But is it unacceptable in its existing state? Not at all. And furthermore, it does not matter whether references are in English or not — as long as references are reliable, we simply don't care what language they are or aren't written in at all.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't point out that trying to nominate this for deletion was your first Wikipedia edit ever under this IP number, suggesting that you have ulterior motives that have nothing to do with Wikipedia's guidelines, such as personal animus against Andrea Jin for reasons that are absolutely none of our concern.

Keep - meets WP:ANYBIO through the Juno Award and I would say Vulture and The Georgia Straight are WP:SIGCOV. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Juno win is fine, it's the Canadian Emmy award. Also have an article in macleans.ca [1] Oaktree b (talk) 22:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, it's more like a Grammy than an Emmy, but it is indeed still a notable award. Bearcat (talk) 21:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As others have pointed out, a Juno win indicates notability, and the article is not promotional. The nominator should have done WP:BEFORE. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:49, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
