Ataska Mercado: In a WP:BEFORE search I could find no significant coverage in reliable sources, apart from this review in the Manila Standard .  Being a non-winning contestant on a reality TV series seems to be her main claim to fame, and her film and music careers haven't really taken off yet.  WP:TOOSOON at best.

What's needed is significant coverage in reliable WP:Secondary sources to show notability.  Wikishovel ( talk ) 09:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This is a reliable source as an active showbiz personality in the Philippines: http://www.vivaartistsagency.ph/project/ataska/ Pxsheng25 ( talk ) 09:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks for logging back in.

I hope you now see the pattern.  Rather than posting references here, you're welcome to improve the article.

The journalnews.com.ph and wish1075 sources are short interviews with her, and interviews are a WP:Primary source.  The mb.com.ph article mentions her briefly in a weekly singles roundup.  Abante is a lurid tabloid: please note that Wikipedia also has articles on sources like the WP:DAILYMAIL and WP:NYPOST , but references from those aren't acceptable sources, especially for WP:Biographies of living persons .

Thanks, Shadow311 ( talk ) 14:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per pxsheng25 she is an accredited adult film actress in the Philippines.  SW DG 18:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ SWDG : can you please explain what you mean by "accredited", and how that makes her notable enough by the Wikipedia guidelines listed in the nomination?  Wikishovel ( talk ) 18:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] by accredited I simply mean that she is known and recognized for her work.  I do understand you consider nearly all above sources to be primary or 'passing mentions' however a strong argument could be made that the manila times article referencing VivaMax's success at 600K downloads and being #1 on the play store could be attributed to Ataska's success in her career, thus establishing notability.

It's true that the editors need to be more selective about reliable sources, and the article could certainly be improved, but that's the point: the article could be improved .  It can't be if it's deleted.  The AfD lister asked for improvement and it appears to be happening.  rspεεr ( talk ) 18:54, 18 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
