Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Sherwin
Doesn't have the appearance of a memorial page, and to my knowledge the important issue in determining whether an article is a memorial page is not a subjective intent we might infer from those involved—it would seem in such a case that there would be no principled manner to distinguish between a clear memorial page and any biography of a deceased person written by someone with more than a fleeting curiosity in the subject. Rather, it is a matter of objective appearances: Whether a reasonable person would believe it's a memorial page. The timing—that this article was only created after the subject's death—is something I view as relevant, but not very persuasive. It is routine that Wikipedia articles are created, expanded, or otherwise heavily modified around the time of a subject's death. Without something more to cast this article as violating , I must conclude that this article does not violate the policy. I've seen a lot of AfDs of articles on Wikipedians recently where it's assumed that we should avoid writing about Wikipedians, or at least more strictly question their notability than with other subjects. I don't think that's quite right, at least in the absence of clear policy as regards writing about Wikipedians.{{parabr}}As to the  and  bases for deletion, I'm not convinced. The sources indicating notability in the article and discussed above are fairly persuasive. I also find the h-index to be persuasive, but neither compelling nor sufficient—I believe this is entirely consistent with . I find the arguments attacking individual sources as being irrelevant for the purposes of determining notability to be unpersuasive. The totality of the indicia of notability—that is, when viewed as a whole rather than as isolated data points—lead me to conclude that this subject meets both  and . This is even in light of the flaws that have been noted with respect to some of the sources
