Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wesley Weber
without prejudice against recreation if somebody can do much, much better than this. More than half the footnotes here are |primary sources that do not constitute support for notability at all rather than reliable ones (even one of the ones that looks like a reliable source is him speaking about himself in the ''first'' person), the few that are reliable sources don't add up to ''enough'' coverage to deem him as passing GNG, and even with sources present the article ''still'' features as many ''unsourced'' claims as sourced ones — and when we're talking about people whose notability is staked on ''crime'', we have to be ''extremely'' careful to make sure that the referencing is absolutely airtight. (People are not, for instance, permanently notable just because they once got arrested for growing marijuana, so the fact that a local-media citation can be added for that does not actually constitute evidence of notability per se — and even criminals get the basic  protection that their alleged crimes still have to be ''properly sourced'', so the securities fraud claims here that are still ''completely'' unsourced don't contribute any notability points.) Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable at all, so we definitely need ''much'' more reliable source coverage than this before we can deem him as passing  in ''lieu'' of having to pass any subject-specific notability criteria. We don't just indiscriminately keep an article about every person who's ever been convicted of just any random crime — the crime itself still has to be legally, culturally and socially ''significant'', not just technically verifiable, before an article is warranted
