Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it already has two detailed references in national/international media. --Yaxu (talk) 19:45, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, this is clearly of importance, Alexandra is a major performer and initiator of the highly notable Algorave movement. Yaxu (talk) 19:47, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I've added a link to an interview for Tracks on Arte TV, which was broadcast internationally in two different languages (in Germany and France). I think along with the other references this establishes that she has "become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style", so will remove the tag for now.

from what I can see the article fails WP:NMG, that's why it was listed. Sent to XfD. Semitransgenic _talk. 15:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't, have you actually read WP:NMG? I was referring to it above. That's a real shame you couldn't just discuss it here. Yaxu (talk) 16:30, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

better to break out discussion at XfD, if consensus supports that it's notable, then no problem, it stays. Semitransgenic _talk. 17:57, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for deletion without reading the sources properly, or spending a moment discussing them here to make sure you understand them, is a waste of time. Yaxu (talk) 20:31, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

sure, you are entitled to your opinion, but as someone with a clear professional investment in this topic, your view is perhaps a little coloured here, that's why it's best to get broader input. I really don't see the issue with this. Semitransgenic _talk. 23:30, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider WP:BEFORE in the future rather than leaping to nominate for deletion. Yaxu (talk) 09:57, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

maybe also consider WP:COI next time you use wikipedia for SEO purposes. Semitransgenic _talk. 15:44, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Both of you need to read, absorb and apply WP:Dead horse. Give it a rest. We have an encyclopædia to build, and we need to do it together. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:41, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough! Yaxu (talk) 19:43, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
