Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Payal Dev
I don't understand from where the nominator is getting the idea that draftifying a non-notable singer is a good practice. If somebody is failing on otability (music) then they are a non-notable musician which is technically a junk per . See criteria 1a. It should be AfDed or Speedied. We don't have to wait for them to get notable. If we do then we will have more drafts than articles because every hour there are at least two articles created about bands or other musicians. Reason for draftifying by the nominator was {{tq|"The sources are way too weak to show she meets SINGER"}}. That looked like backdoor mechanism to delete an article, avoiding contest or discussion because the nominator thinks that the topic is not at all plausibly notable. So I moved the article back and requested AfD with edit summary {{tq|"Take it to AfD. Draftification is not a backdoor route to deletion. See ."}}. It was not just {{tq|"take it to afd"}} as mentioned above by the nominator. More of the related discussion took place on
