[edit] Anastasia Tubanos
This article fails WP:BIO. The subject is an unnotable blogger and the article is only supported by primary sources. I looked for reliable secondary sources, but couldn't find them, except for the one Youtube news video about the launch of her website (which is more an indication of notability for her website than for herself). Furthermore, the article was created by User:Zymaseman, who is Matt Campagna in real life, the friend and professional partner of Anastasia Tubanos. His list of contributions show his only interest on Wikipedia is advertisement for his own websites, himself and Anastasia. Atlan (talk) 12:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless better sources can be found to assert notability. Epthorn (talk) 07:40, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete If the sources were better, I would be tempted to go for a "Weak keep". Tim Ross·talk 20:43, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
The YouTube video also exists on the CityTV News International site as a proper secondary source and the external link has been changed to reflect that, at YourGreekNews.com becomes to Nationwide Television - CityTV News International. The News Piece clearly states that the website's video content is now a Television show. Therein lies the notability. As the CityTV site does have a high churn rate, the YouTube link is more permanentplace for the News Piece to live, and may be the best long-term external link to have. Clearly it is not a homemade YouTube video. Additionally, the show happens to be called YourGreekNews.com, wich may be causing some confusion. Upon complete viewing, the News Piece is clealy about a television program, not about a website. Also, the Wikipedia article about Mega Cosmos further explains that the television station airs the show YourGreekNews.com as a part of its programming. I believe the value of an article on a nationwide Cultural Television NewsBroadcaster, (as the newspiece specifically indicates is not a 'blogger') and ensuring that it is in line with WIkipedia guidelines, is what is crucial.

- So you say a tv show, no matter how minor, means automatic notability and warrants a Wikipedia page for a host related to that show? I disagree. The whole reason I nominated the article is because it is NOT in line with Wikipedia guidelines. Fact is, that a google search yields only a number of blogs and her Wikipedia article. Calling her a "nationwide cultural television newsbroadcaster" is just using big words, to descibe a girl who has received about as much mainstream media attention as me.
- Basically, the fact that this article had to be created by Anastasia's friend and partner (WP:COI anyone?) says quite enough about how notable she really is.--Atlan (talk) 21:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
