No real sources given; only potential source of notability appears to be one newspaper article. Fails

I have appeared on Sky News, and BBC news regarding the selling of the Tesco Carrier bag. Surely the fact that I was in a national newspaper (The Daily Mail) would substantiate that the page could be kept?? The picture that I uploaded on the page is genuine. Can I have a specific reason why i cannot keep the page, and what i can do to ensure that I can keep it? - Jamiecg74 21/4/2008 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamiecg74 (talk • contribs)

- Comment - The problem is that not all references that people get in newspapers is equal. The eBay sale may have received national coverage, but it doesn't necessarily qualify you for reliable sources.
- On a somewhat related note, the anecdote about Whizzer and Chips doesn't really add anything to the article. It may have meant a lot to you at the time, but it's pretty much the sort of thing you'd tell your friends, not the sort of thing you'd put in an encyclopedia.

- Delete. Nothing found in Google News Archive searches using various terms ("jamiecg74", "jamie.green youtube", "jamie.green mash.up"). Fails WP:BIO. Not even really marginal, but if it were, COI would tip it for me. --Dhartung | Talk 21:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As I read the Guardian article, it calls the subject a "potential new star" and regrets that not enough people visit the site. So for once we actually have proof from a RS that the subject is not notable.21:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
