Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethan McBride
There's a fairly clear |conflict of interest here — if the subject didn't create it himself, then a personal friend of his certainly did (the giveaway being that nobody without a conflict of interest ''ever'' thinks they need to upload ''six'' different photos to illustrate a ''stub''.) There's simply no strong claim of encyclopedic notability here, and no very strong |reliable source coverage to carry it — apart from a single local news story, the "referencing" here is otherwise almost entirely to |primary sources and |blogs. The only thing in the external linkfarm that looks like a potentially strong source in theory, ''Teen Vogue'', turns out to be a very general analysis of the general phenomenon of teen LGBTQ activism, entirely failing to single McBride out for even a mention of his name. So it does absolutely nothing to help. I wish him well, but we don't exist as a venue for honouring unsung people who do good work — we have specific notability and sourceability standards that have to be ''attained'' before an article becomes earned, and none of this (neither the substance nor the sourcing) reaches the necessary targets
