Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rehane Abrahams

Rehane Abrahams

No vote procedural nomination. This was speedied back in May, and an editor left a note at Wikipedia talk:Deletion review asking for undeletion. I checked it out, thought A7 was too harsh, and asked the deleting sysop to consent to bring it back, avoiding DRV. Basically, Ethnopunk's position is that "[s]he is an important South African actress" - CrazyRussian talk/email 16:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO or WP:PORN (not policy, but it does make sense). If she can be shown to be notable in South Africa I could be persauded to change my opinion. --Pboyd04 16:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh, I don't think WP:PORN applies here. I would be curious to hear what sources Ethnopunk adduces in support. - CrazyRussian talk/email 16:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Guess I don't know the meaning of "art-core" porn. --Pboyd04 17:27, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
      • There's a huge amount of references sitting on Google. Perhaps the issue is one of reference and correcting the miscategorisation. WP:BIO applies, but I think WP:PORN is a bit of an overstatement. She only shot one or two soft-porn movies and not very good ones at that. She is most notable as a stage actress and has won various awards in South Africa.

• Comment. This person appears to be involved in the legitimate theater in South Africa. See [1], for example. --Metropolitan90 16:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no references, and neither the IMDB or Google look very promising. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - per above. --Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 18:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. My interpretations of WP:BIO and WP:PORN are rather lenient, in my opinion, and this person still does not manage to meet either guideline for inclusion. RFerreira 01:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Correct Why don't we ask the original editors to correct the mistake. Otherwise I would be more than happy to correct and bring the article up to WP:BIO standard. Please see criteria: "Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions." Ethnopunk 11:51, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Would you explain to all of precisely how this person meets BIO, preferably with links to back you up? - CrazyRussian talk/email 13:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
