• Delete We need to stop being an IMDb mirror.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @Johnpacklambert: I agree. Let IMDB be IMDB. This mirroring is unacceptable. JTZegers^Speak

• • • At one point I tried bringing to procedural deletion some articles sourced only to IMBd but had them all removed with not even an attempt to find any other sources by the other editor. There are clearly far too many editors who ignore the consensus that IMDb is not reliable. Overall there are too many editors that act as if Wikipedia has a grandfather clause and that the existence of an article on Wikipedia is almost in and of itself of some value or worth. It is very frustrating how many truly sub-standard virtually non-sourced or actually non-sourced articles there are on Wikupedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree Johnpacklambert. The main problem is that it's too easy to create a barely sourced BLP; maybe a few mins of time will be taken, nothing more. The problem, however, is that it often takes several more minutes to do a proper WP:BEFORE search and then at least a week of AfD to get it deleted and the WP:BURDEN is often on the person proposing deletion when it should be on the creator of said article, in my view...

This is why I think all new articles should go through AfC. On the other hand that is its own odd system which has no time limit. I posted an article there back on Feb. 11th, and it is still not formed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:06, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no perfect solution, sadly. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:16, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - found no reliable sources that show significant coverage of the subject. --Ashleyyoursmile! 11:18, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no notable roles so clearly acting career fails WP:NACTOR, no evidence as far as I can see that WP:CREATIVE is met. Most importantly, no evidence of WP:GNG Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
