The result was delete. At this point, consensus is in favor of deletion, however, DESiegel, once you have access to more sources, I see no reasons here for you not to restore the article to work on it (let's call it a "somewhat soft delete"). Regards SoWhy 14:08, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An article on this person was previously deleted at AfD, and I tagged it for a G4 speedy deletion, as this article, though containing different references, was in my opinion sufficiently identical to the previous article to warrant speedy deletion. The G4 tag was removed, so here we are. I still don't think that the references provide sufficient in-depth sources to support the notability of the person.

  • Delete Not sufficiently notable in his own right. Eagleash (talk) 20:59, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The sources cited were not only different in detail, but different in type. The previous sources all dealt with his divorce and his other romantic relationships, and the concern expressed in the first AfD was that he was being mentioned only for those relationships, which were irrelevant as per WP:NOTINHERITED. The sources in the current version all deal with his work as a film producer, a very different thing, thus addressing the issues raised in the first AfD. Thus G4 did not apply, in my judgement, which was why I declined it. But of course a declined speedy does not establish notability -- that is what this discussion is for. Deor, did you do a WP:BEFORE search before nominating this? If so, what search terms did you use and what did you find? DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:26, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I did do some searching before my nomination; and although this source seems to be possibly a significant mention, I didn't find anything that would justify the existence of the article. Most of the possible sources appear to involve his connection to Meghan Markle, which was considered in the previous AfD. Deor (talk) 22:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would call that more than a "mention", it looks to be a fairly significant discussion of the "Underground Films" business and Engelson's role in it. There also seems to be a story from The New York Observer dated January 16, 2006 a partial view of which can be found at this page which should count toward notability -- it is from a RS, and seems entirely devoted to Engelson in his role as a businessman, not as a husband or lover. I am trying to get full access. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 23:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
