Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fabio Mancini (2nd nomination)

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. In this discussion, it was editors who were arguing for Deletion that had arguments based in Wikipedia policy. Most editors who were arguing to Keep this article asserted that the subject was important but we don't base claims in editors' opinion but in reliable sources and the sources brought to the discussion were rejected for a variety of reasons. One editor proposed submitting an article on this subject in the Italian Wikipedia and then, once accepted, translating it for the English Wikipedia. But please know if you wish to pursue this option, please put your translation in Draft space and submit it for review to WP:AFC. If you put it directly into the main space, it could be deleted via speedy deletion as a CSD G4. If you have questions about this, I encourage you to bring them to the Teahouse. Liz Read!

  • Delete fails WP:SUSTAINED and WP:ANYBIO; WP:SALTING is very much an option at this stage. SerialNumber54129 13:35, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Insufficient WP:DEPTH of coverage from reliable sources. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per GNG and WP:ANYBIO. If we're supposed to believe this is an "icon" who everyone in Italy knows, there would be at least an article on the Italian Wikipedia with some solid sources backing up those claims. Never a good sign when the socks come out in force like this. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 05:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe because the page was created in a promotional way and not in the wiki rules? What about the other 15 Pages translated? All the people are crazy then? And what about the 500.000 more pictures in Google? AI, Fantasy or maybe he is very important in the fashion business? 109.52.151.75 (talk) 12:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hi everyone, I saw the Fabio Mancini (modello) page history, can someone here explain me why the italian version of Wikipedia mantain his italian page for more than 10 years before someone vandalize like the english version were talking in this topic? Maybe someone, dont want have him here without reason? maybe? Just a suppose.

  • Delete I have seen many social media mentions (tiktok, lots of blogs and "fan" type web pages) but no serious sources. The best I got were some Aussie "news" stories connecting him to a gay relationship. If someone can find substantial articles in Italian newspapers or journals I will reconsider. I find the Italian sources to be all behind impenetrable paywalls. Lamona (talk) 04:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep and consider Dear @Lamona I find a lot of english sources and a lot of italian articles in the major online italian website and newspaper. We’re can I attached them to show you? I can try to add them in his wiki english sources or here? Because when I tried to write some link attached, I cant send the message here. Why we dont considerate all to create a wiki but I cannot understand why nobody one here ( admin in first who can help, create a wiki italian version - he was online for 10 y ) tried to clean and put in order the english one in our topic.
    just a consideration, NOBODY ONE pay me for my opinion ( i say in his wiki page the suggestion who talk about payments ) 2A02:B121:8012:3C0C:8847:A9D3:6326:2607 (talk) 07:07, 14 September 2024 (UTC)2A02:B121:8012:3C0C:8847:A9D3:6326:2607 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I don't know what the problem is for linking here, but you just copy the URL and paste it in your comment. Lamona (talk) 03:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To make it easier to discuss these sources I've turned them into a numbered list:

  1. thefashionisto - 3 sentences
  2. forbes - a skincare ad where he is namedropped
  3. americadomani - 3 sentences in a listicle
  4. womanaroundtown - interview
  5. fashionela - interview
  6. wienermodels - some photos and measurements
  7. imago-images - 1 sentence and a photo you can buy a license for
  8. rizzolilibri - 3 sentences about him as a writer
  9. friendsofeurope - Click the plus icon for a description on a list of so-called "European Young Leaders" made by a weird thinktank, see Friends of Europe

Ad, ad, comment on F of E below. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:40, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PolygnotusThank you for your faster reply, but you all asked me to find some prove and sources to certificate what I said, and I find it. About Friends of Europe, ‘call’ them ‘weird’ when they nominate by year the major personalities in Europe included: First Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of various European Nations, various of the best european engineer, physicists & neuroscientist, Astronaut at the European Space Agency, major of the best sport personalities and in this case a supermodel, is not very fair. You can check it all the personalities in. LuciaS23 (talk) 10:43, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My view on this list:
  1. thefashionisto - No WP:SIGCOV and looks like paid content.
  2. forbes - WP:FORBESCON and not even close to WP:GNG.
  3. americadomani - Doesn't look that bad, if this is a WP:RS it helps. I have no idea if it is.
  4. womanaroundtown - A little non Q&A content (WP:INTERVIEW), but looks like a WP:BLOG.
  5. fashionela - Ditto, possibly not as blog-ish
  6. wienermodels - not independent, might have WP:ABOUTSELF use, but no help for this discussion
  7. imago-images - webshop, doesn't help
  8. rizzolilibri - His publisher. Not independent, might have WP:ABOUTSELF use, but no help for this discussion
  9. friendsofeurope - Well, the WP-article Friends of Europe sucks. They are mentioned here:[23]. Not obviously helpful.

Maybe, but big personalities are in there always.

  • Comment I've looked at the articles listed above and unfortunately not one meets the requirements that sources be reliable and substantial. What I see are short promotional paragraphs in fashion-oriented sources, interviews, and photo montages. None of these indicate notability as we define it in en.wikipedia. I suggest searching in mainstream newspapers and magazines. For example, I found this in Corriere della Sera. Unfortunately it is an interview, which means that they are his words about himself, not someone else speaking or writing about him. Also, a good source shows that the writer has done some research on the subject. Most of the web sites proposed mainly re-hash the same few facts (born in Germany, got started by chance, etc.). Even in the interviews there is much repetition. Note also that this person is young and may become more notable in the future, at which time an article would be warranted.

    • Suggestion Dear @Lamona Thank you for your kind reply and consideration under our discussion about sources. If you are taking about English sources maybe you got it, (but there are many Pages of people not famous like him without a lot of source in wiki, and for his history its impossibile do not reconize him for the long works with Giorgio Armani(international adv on billboard in our city & tv commercial/and catwalk[27]for many many years - maybe he dont have many articles because is very private person and different then other models? I Guess if you see him on socials) but if you talk about italian sources on the italian Google, he have many many articles (not only interviews) about his amazing career and what is doing now with his humanitarian european school project where is nominate soon to became an ambassador of the new generation by the italian Parliament[28](source by italiano School/ministery of Education). He has written a book too with one of the major book company, and is not possible to see is notoriety, for my opinion. Why we dont creat all an italian version(where he had a lot of more stronger sources)and then traslate in English or complete the English one? Mine personal suggestion, simply opinion
