The result was delete. I was tempted to close this as "no consensus" but after re-reading the applicable policies, especially WP:BLP1E, I think deletion is indeed the consensus here. Not just because of the number of !votes but regarding strength of argument. To be precise, Stephen (Grk1011) raises a valid point because to take it literally, "event" is not the same as "subject" and being notable for only one subject does not automatically make one a BLP1E subject. Jennavecia correctly points this out and while "just not notable" is generally an argument to avoid, in this case it sums up the more convincing side of this discussion, i.e. that the delete-!votes correctly argue that notability has not been established.

[edit]

Non-notable PR manager for the European Song Contest. Has written a song that was not chosen for Eurovision, is friends with the similarly non-notable Danny Mekić - oh and has given a presentation to a chamber of commerce meeting. That's it! Jezhotwells (talk) 09:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I declined the speedy on this one as a non-admin because it had enough of a notability assertion to pass, but this man's claims to fame all fall under WP:BLP1E. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 15:02, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don't think BLP1E applies here, but he's not notable. لenna vecia 00:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - BLP1E does not apply since it is one subject he is known for, not one event. He also seems to be notable enough for inclusion, with sources including BBC, CNN, and the European Broadcasting Union. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 04:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The BBC reports him as running a fan site. That isn't an indication of notability. CNN briefly interviews him, and says (on camera) he has been working for Eurovision for thirteen years!!! Impressive for someone born in 1984. The EBU lists his job as a Project manager Internet. This information does not make the grade for notability, I am afraid. This fails on WP:BLP1E. The other reference on the page is a press release from his company. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
