The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep -- User:Whpq hit it on the head: there is evidence that the subject is notable, but you have to – pardon the pun – comb through the references to find something that meets WP:RS standards. The article is, admittedly, in need of help, and I am going to list this article on WP:CLEANUP to get assistance in fixing it. Pastor Theo (talk) 12:03, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement/resume written by subject. Despite being seemingly "well sourced", not a single of the 19 different "references" actually show any notability. Half of them are dead links, the rest are either personal sites, salon directories and a two local news papers/blogs. BJTalk 23:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment article has been a target for silly statements, which are a BLP issue, however being a target of interest suggests that he may be notable, even if no claim is made in the article. I am not voting to delete or keep, but if soe one wants the article deprotected I am willing to oblige. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep Rodolfo Valentin is a notable hairdresser. He is one of the top 10 hairstylist and one of the top 10 salons in New York. He is constantly appearing in newspapers, magazines and television. Please see attached some of the links to newspapers and magazines:

As shown in the Daily news, new york newspaper, Rodolfo Valentin, thru his foundation, gives FREE hair prosthesis that cost almost 4 thousand dollars to cancer patients who cannot afford to buy one. And the most exemplary thing is that he does not use it as a tax deduction. He is an extraordinary human being who deserves respect. He uses his own money for this charitable deed to keep a promise to his mother who also died from cancer. See the attached Daily News article[3] Keeping a promise [4] Leukemia society [5] the queens courier ( Newspaper) [6] Prestigious, ROBB REPORT MAGAZINE [7] Amarillo, website

I was trying very hard to correct the links ( some of them have been moved to other files or archives, but for some reason I am not able to do it. I will fix them, when the system let me. the user [[9]] Bjweeks, is making an statement that Rodolfo Valentin is only showing "in a couple of local newspapers"...when in reality Rodolfo is named by the press as the "celebrity hairstylist" of New York as it is showing in the last article written about him last month.[10]Guest of a guest---It is very offensive. I think Bjweeks has some kind of interest in hurting Rodolfo Valentin name. Anyone can just type RODOLFO VALENTIN in google, yahoo, msn or any other search engine, to find almost 1 million search results, thousands of them related to television, magazines and newspapers articles68.161.91.72 (talk) 18:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep- based on my own search for sourcing which turned up this NY Times article. I think that notability for the subject is established. The current state of teh article however is another matter. The current references need to be combed through in detail. For example, the reference for "Frith Powell, Hellena (March 3, 2007). "Big hair, small stomach". London (UK), Sunday Times. http://helenafrithpowell.com/uncategorized/big-hair-small-stomach. Retrieved on May 3 2007." which is cited as the Sunday Times is actually a columnist's personal blog. -- Whpq (talk) 16:09, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The subject may have some notability; however. many of the current references don't establish that. More relevant and reliable sources used as references could help better establish the notability of the subject. As a side note, the article itself also needs plenty of work. --Shruti14 talk • sign 19:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
