Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Maté
Although several additional footnotes have been added to the article since the time of nomination, they still aren't good or notability-making ones. #1 is a news story about something else which happens to glancingly ''namecheck'' Aaron Maté's existence in the process of ''not'' being ''about'' Aaron Maté, which doesn't assist in making him notable. #2 tangentially verifies the existence of Maté's mother, without saying anything at all about Aaron to assist in making him notable. #3 is the film review mentioned in the nomination — which also just briefly mentions his name without being ''about him'' to any non-trivial degree, and thus doesn't singlehandedly make him notable all by itself. #4 is just a directory of his own contributions to a news outlet — but you don't make a journalist notable enough for Wikipedia by verifying the extent to which he's been the bylined ''author'' of media coverage about other ''things'', you make a journalist notable enough for Wikipedia by verifying the extent to which he's been the ''subject'' of media coverage written by other ''people''. #5 and #6 are both directly affiliated with the claim being made — the Izzy Award is not a notability-clinching journalism award that would pass , but a ''student'' journalism award presented by a university journalism school, and the sources for it are that self-same university's own student newspaper and the self-published website of the award committee. But that's not how you turn any award into a notability claim — if ''general'' market media coverage ''about'' the award presentation is lacking, then an award is not a notability maker just because you can technically metareference the award to itself. So no, nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this
