2.4.10 Failing All Criteria

If no criterion can be met for either a standalone article or inclusion in a more general article, and improvements have not worked or cannot be reasonably tried, then three deletion procedures can be considered failing all criteria:  If speedy deletion criterion A7 applies, use the {{db-person}} tag to request speedy deletion.  For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, but are uncontroversial deletion candidates, use the {{subst:prod}} tag. This allows the article to be deleted after seven days if nobody objects see Wikipedia: Proposed deletion.  For cases where you are unsure about deletion or believe others might object, nominate the article for the Articles for deletion process, where its merits will be discussed for 7 days.

2.4.11 Failing Basic Criteria But Meeting Additional Criteria

If neither a satisfying explanation nor appropriate sources can be found for a standalone article, but the person meets one or more of the additional criteria:  Merge the article into a broader article providing context. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI  Place a {{Merge to}} tag on the page, indicating the page where the article may be merged.  If no article currently exists into which the person can be merged, consider writing the article yourself or request the article be written.

2.4.12 Failure to explain the subjects notability

It would be considered failure to explain the subjects notability if an article does not explain the notability of its subject, but try to improve it by:  Adding the {{clean-up-biography}} template, which requests birthdate, historical significance, etc.  Rewriting it yourself  Asking the articles editors for advice.

2.4.13 Insufficient Sources

An article is categorized as having insifficient sources if it fails to cite sufficient sources. The authors should:  Look for sources themselves  Ask the articles editors for advice on where to look for sources.  Put the {{notability|biographies}} tag on the article to notify other editors.  If the article is about a specialized field, use the {{expert-subject}} tag with a specific WikiProject to attract editors knowledgeable about that field, who may have access to reliable sources not available online. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individuals role within it should be considered. The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individuals role grow larger, separate articles may become justified. If the event is highly significant, and the individuals role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as Gavrilo Princip, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individuals role. When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate. For example, George Holliday, who videotaped the Rodney King beating, redirects to Rodney King. On the other hand, if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles, for example Howard Brennan, a witness to the JFK assassination. Another issue arises when an individual plays a major role in a minor event. In this case, it is not generally appropriate to have an article on both the person and the event. Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, especially if the individual is only notable for that incident and it is all that the person is associated with in the source coverage. For example, Steve Bartman redirects to Steve Bartman incident. In some cases, however, a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself, for example, the Tank Man. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved. Editors are advised to be cognizant of issues of weight and to avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people. It is important to remember that notable is not a synonym for famous. Someone may have become famous due to one event, but may nevertheless be notable for more than one event. Similarly, a person may be generally famous, but notable for only a single event.
