The result was delete. Neither WP:COI, nor the size of the country nor the language of the sources are reasons for deletion. This said, notability is and here consensus is that none within the relevant guidelines exists. SoWhy 21:30, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Max Kaur[edit]

Max Kaur (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Article created by SPA and mainly edited by SPA IP. Because of the user page of the creator of this article and the IP location, there is reason to believe that this page is created and edited by Max Kaur himself and therefore there is violation of the WP:COI policy. Edits are made in destructive way without giving any explanation. Also, the notability of this person is not clear. Being a party chairman adviser in some small Eastern European country is not enough to establish the notability. There is no search results for Max Kaur in English (except this wiki article and its clones). As all references are given only in Estonian, somebody from WP:Estonia has to verify if these sources are enough to establish the notability of this person.

  • Delete for reasons given by nominator. --Boffob (talk) 18:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - While WP:COI is not a deletion concern, WP:N definitely is. If notability can be established, my vote will change, but as of now, the lack of English sources points to his lack of notability. DARTH PANDAduel 20:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Where in the notability guidelines does it say that Estonian sources count for any less than English ones? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Violation of the COI policy is not a valid reason for deletion.
  2. The notability isssue should be if a party chairman is notable period, the size of the country does not matter. Wikipedia is a global publication.
  3. While sources are preferred in English on the English language Wikipedia, sources in Estonian are totally acceptable. - Mgm|(talk) 09:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete nothing in WP:Politician suggests that party chairmen are notable and anyway he isn't a party chairman he's an adviser to a party chairman which is definitely not notable. Valenciano (talk) 12:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't know any Estonian, but just by looking at the cited sources I can see that several of them are newspaper and magazine articles that mention the subject in the headlines, meaning that they are substantially about the subject so getting him through the general notability guideline.

  • Delete I see no basis for assuming that membership in the society given is intrinsically notable, and nothing in the bio to indicate that the person is other than a minor political figure without any significant elective or appointive position. the highlight of his career seems to be when he declined to run for mayor of Kiviõli, a town of 7400 people.

  • Keep. "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." Max Kaur is a most mentioned Centre Party politician in Estonian media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.106.106.146 (talk) 12:44, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
