Mr. Rust has been mentioned in a number of sources, and the author did a laudable job citing them, but most are not independent of the subject, and the remainder don't address the subject in any significant depth as required by the general notability guideline.

Question: Rebbing, are you referring to statements made without supporting references? Just seeking clarification. I see a lot of apparently valid references in the piece. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by APesica (talk • contribs) 23:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- @APesica: No, I'm not. Notability isn't about what's in the article; it's about the available coverage of the subject, whether cited in the article or not. (That's why the AfD has "find sources" links.) Before nominating an article for deletion, an editor is required to conduct the research described in BEFORE—which I did. During my BEFORE, I confirmed that the available sources—the references in the article and those shown with the "find sources" links above—either don't count (e.g., because they're press releases and thus not independent) or only mention Mr. Rust in passing, if it all. Does that answer your question? Rebb ing 02:46, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Rebbing: Yes, thanks. APesica (talk) 03:56, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as by far nothing at all for any applicable convincing notability, it's detailed but by far nothing substantial. SwisterTwister talk 01:04, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
