Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keith Zenda

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. I am not opposed to draftifying a page if there is any evidence that the subject is likely to pass our notability guidelines at some point in the future. But I'm not really seeing that here and the consensus is clearly against keeping this page at the present time. Nonetheless this close is w/o prejudice to an undelete request should the subject garner enough coverage to ring the WP:N bell at a future date. Ad Orientem (talk) 04:41, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable Zimbabwean contemporary artist. Fails WP:BIO. Google News search returns just 3 mentions, all of them trivial. Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment a general search turns up very little– one or two mentions in Zimbabwean news articles. A search of Zim newspapers might find more, but I do not have the sense it would be enough.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:40, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Does this belong on the Women-related deletions? The pronouns in the article are "him". Not sure if this comment belongs here, but...? Netherzone (talk) 17:03, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No assertion of notability - "OVER 150 visual upcoming and seasoned artists across the country are set to showcase their artworks at this year’s edition of the Wild Geese Art Fest....." Johnbod (talk) 17:47, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Shift to draft If you feel this page doesn't belong to the English Wikipedia as yet please put it under my drafts until i gather more references for it to be more notable. Bobbyshabangu _talk 11:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: User:Bobbyshabangu That sounds like an idea (to draftify) - if there are more reliable sources in books and the press that show significant coverage of his work, such as reviews, chapters in books, art historical essays in journals, etc. Also significant exhibitions like one-person shows in museums, and list any works that have been acquired in museum collections and permanent public art works. See WP:CREATIVE. It seems like it may be a case of WP:TOOSOON at this time. Netherzone (talk) 14:25, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Since when moving a non-notable page to a draft is the outcome of the AfD? --Bbarmadillo (talk) 13:01, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, rather than draft, seems to be the right outcome here, in the absence or RS.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:10, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
