Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mamoudou Gassama
As things stand, this is just a  which fails the principle of . The amount of coverage this has received in the short term is not, in and of itself, evidence that he's permanently or enduringly notable — it happens ''all the time'' that people get brief blips of media coverage for doing something that doesn't warrant an encyclopedia article. Our role here is ''not'' to simply and uncritically maintain a standalone BLP of every single person who happens to get his name into the news cycle for a few days anywhere in the world for any reason whatsoever — our job is to ''filter'' this stuff for whether it passes the |ten-year test for ''enduring'' significance or not, but there's no evidence that he passes that test as of today. There are probably other pages, such as List of viral videos, where this could be mentioned, but it's not grounds for a standalone biography of him separately from that — as it stands today, this is more suitable for WikiNews than here. It's certainly possible that he might pull off something more enduringly notable in the future, so it can always be recreated in the future if and when that happens — maybe he manages to parlay his popularity into becoming the next President of France after Macron, weirder things have happened — but nothing that's true as of today is permanently notable enough to lift this out of BLP1E and NOTNEWS yet. "Media coverage exists" is not, in and of itself, an automatic exemption from also having to have a reason why the story has passed from currently newsy  into enduringly notable foreverism
