Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ian Ferrier
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass , and the referencing isn't good enough to get him over . One of the two footnotes is a |primary source that is not support for notability at all, and the other is a glancing mention of his name in an event listings calendar that isn't ''about'' him in any non-trivial way, which is not enough all by itself just because it happens to be in a newspaper. We're looking for coverage ''about him as a subject'', not just technical verification that he exists. As always, GNG is not just "count the footnotes and keep anything that meets or exceeds two"; it tests for many other factors, including whether the sources are independent of the subject or not, the depth of how substantively any source is or isn't ''about him'', the geographic range of how widely he is or isn't ''getting'' covered, and whether the ''context'' of what he's getting covered ''for'' represents a noteworthy accomplishment or not
