Revision as of 17:55, 1 December 2010
AfDs for this article:
- Normal Bob Smith (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log) • Afd statistics
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Jesus Dress Up appears to be the only notable output of this person, and this page should redirect there. None of the sources for the article discuss Bob Smith as Bob Smith, they merely mention him en passant as the creator of 'Jesus Dress Up'. It's noted that he was one of seven Bob Smiths in a documentary film, however that documentary film appears vanishingly marginal[1]. Fails WP:BIO for not providing substantial reliable sources covering its subject. Sumbuddi (talk) 13:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Keep, passes WP:GNG. The article does not include a recent NY Times article specifically about Smith, at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/26/nyregion/26union.html, which discusses him for more than just the Jesus Dress Up. postdlf (talk) 15:02, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- That looks like a good source, but someone needs to add the info there to his article as it is failing at the moment. Sumbuddi (talk) 15:54, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- It should be, yes, but the article can't "fail" based on that not yet being done. We don't delete articles that can demonstrably be expanded just because they haven't been yet. postdlf (talk) 16:01, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- No, they get deleted if they fail to meet WP:BASIC. Obv. if you feel the article shouldn't be deleted it would make sense to demonstrate that it is something more substantial than a subsection of Jesus Dress Up. The NYT article demonstrates that he's a character at a park in New York, but it doesn't show the kind of notability/infamy that you get from someone like World Famous Bushman. Does that article prove he is notable? Definitely not. Sumbuddi (talk) 17:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
