Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Golshan
Regarding the two articles that The-Alchemist brings up, these two subjects look like they are of questionable notability themselves, which I am not going to go into here, but even they have more reason to be encyclopedically notable than Golshan based on comparing their careers versus his, so bringing them up doesn't help the case to keep the article. As far as having been on one episode of Millionare Matchmaker goes, that is no criterion for notability. If we were to consider people notable for being featured as having hired Millionaire Matchmaker to help them find a date, we would have to consider anyone who was featured on HGTV "House Hunters" because they wanted to buy a house notable. The sources that 76.94.198.116 posted here (which are also many of the same sources in the reference section on the page in question) do not prove notablility, as some are stories about the Millionaire Matchmaker TV show that happen to mention the episode with Golshan, in which case my sentence immediately preceding this one applies, some are blogs, and some are press releases from "Hollywoodsuccess.com" or PRWeb (or reposts of these press releases). Hollywoodsuccess.com and PRWeb are for-pay promotional tools that actors and their agents use to promote their careers, so again we find Golshan's page failing to meet notability based on the "Self-promotion and indiscriminate publicity" section of . Some other "sources" are Funny or Die and youtube submissions, which are open-source websites that anyone can upload a video to, so having a video on them is no proof of notability. Transient mention in narrow-interest websites catering to the Iranian-American community or the clothing design industry are not sufficient to establish notability. I have been mentioned, even had articles I have written accepted for publication and printed in several trade magazines in my field, but I do not pretend to be notable for the purposes of Wikipedia notability. Remember that  says "notability is not temporary", and I would add that the potential to be notable in the future does not itself qualify as notability(). The acid test should be, if Golshan did nothing else with his life going forward besides what he has already done, would he be a significant enough figure to be included here in 10 years
