Article does not establish notability. Subject is known for one campaign. Many of the article's citations rely on personal testimony and circular reporting. Needs clean-up or delete. DavidTTTaylor (talk) 16:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator[reply]

formatting comment: @DavidTTTaylor: - I copied your rationale from the article revision history + added headers/footers that were missing here (you didn't subst afd2 - see Template:AfD in 3 steps or install Twinkle). Please update your nomination rationale if I misrepresented it.Icewhiz (talk) 16:15, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the assistance Icewhiz DavidTTTaylor (talk) 16:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

speedy keep subject meets GNG as demonstrated by the references. I'm not sure what "one event" is being referred to by the nominating editor, DavidTTTaylor. Owen's activism spans over a period of several years at this point. Enwebb (talk) 14:30, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete The activist is not notable outside of this one campaign. As Enwebb says there is no history before 2015. Most of the citations are from personal testimony from the subject and therefore NOR. Suggest article creation for I Want Prep Now if meets WP:N, and merging of this content into that article. --DavidTTTaylor (talk) 15:11, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but four years isn't "one event". Owen was profiled in the BBC, a&u and HIV Equal. These are all secondary sources, not OR or personal testimony from the subject. Enwebb (talk) 15:17, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are some good sources in the article, but many key points which indicate notability are quotes from the subject. There's also a fair bit of circular reporting. WIll lean-in and see if we can improve the article together --DavidTTTaylor (talk) 16:02, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That should have been WP:BEFORE. I appreciate your willingness to improve the article, though. I've gone ahead and added more references. Up to you if you want to close this AfD early yourself or let it run the course. Enwebb (talk) 16:24, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree the article is improved - thank you! Still minded that subject is not notable, and article should form part of an article on the I Want Prep Now campaign. Will work on creating and propose a merge. In the meantime will Speedy Close this AfD. DavidTTTaylor (talk) 16:32, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
