[edit] Pilar Pili

Pilar Pili (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

non-notable artist. Association with notable people doesn't convey notability. No sources, search of google news back to 1920s [1] so no hits (I know that doesn't count though), and a very strong point of view (again I know that doesn't count) Mbisanz (talk) 10:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for checking Google News -- so many nominators overlook this. I think this article is mis-titled but I'm reluctant to mess with it during the AfD. There maybe coverage under an alternate name. --A. B. ^(talk) 16:21, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

If you can find a better name to redirect it to, please feel free to let me know. I don't know Spanish, so a google web search is of no help in trying to figure out if we already have coverage. Mbisanz (talk) 16:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

e/c*Delete. With assertions like these, I would think something would come up in google archives. (I did my own extensive searches independent of nominator - did not use links provided, and got same nada result). Other problems I see: Pilar is a female (Spanish) name. No instances of it ever being used as a unisex name or male name that I've been able to document. 2. Pili is a pet name for Pilar (think Anthony - Tony, or Michael - Mikey). It is not a surname (therefore having an article titled Pilar Pili (unless proven that that is how "he" signed his name artistically.). If in fact Pilar Pili is a real person, survives notability, and consensus says keep, the article needs to be renamed. Also, I would love to know where these rather bold assertions came from, where's the source? Keeper | 76 16:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Very useful background, thanks Mbisanz (talk) 17:56, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per Keeper76 -- thanks for your help. --A. B. ^(talk)
• Delete, per Keeper76 (talk · contribs), and lack of sources/WP:OR. Cirt (talk) 17:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC).

• Delete per Keeper76. If there were sources in Spanish, I would be able to read them at least in part, but I can't find any myself. Furthermore, the article doesn't make much sense politically -- why would Raul Castro attend the funeral of a Batista supporter? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
