Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Leon Cowden
Now, I don't want to go into TLDR territory but... there are a lot of borderline-notable articles on |fringe topics which end up at AfD sooner or later. Lately I've come to the conclusion that the problem isn't ''notability''; it's one of ''neutrality''. When there's only a small number of sources on a topic and they're all in-universe, then it becomes impossible to describe the topic ''neutrally''; and deletion may be the best solution if it's already pretty low on notability. I realise some folk would frame that as a content problem - hence a "keep" !vote - but then we're left with flawed content sitting around indefinitely which we ''know'' doesn't fit the mainstream view but we can't get mainstream sources to fix it. Surely that's not the best outcome for the encyclopædia
