Article has been WP:REFBOMB'd but the only real source I could find was a single interview, so it's pretty much entirely WP:PRIMARY. Therefore the article doesn't meet WP:BIO as it does not have "significant coverage in multiple published" sources. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 05:58, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I was invited here as the original article creator. I created this back in 2007 with only primary sources. The nom is kind to suggest refbombing (which suggests RS overkill) when the real issue here is a lack of secondary sources (required to confer notability). In addition, my 2007 self was more of a "lumper" than a "splitter" and with the benefit of modern hindsight, I would suggest that the article probably suffers from an inappropriate grouping of topics akin to some of the issues addressed in WP:OVERCAT. I haven't yet had the opportunity check for proper sourcing, so I withhold my !vote for now, but I agree with the nom that in its current state the article falls short of WP's standards. -Thibbs (talk) 13:09, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak redirect. I think the best way to approach the topic is to split it up with each brother receiving individual scrutiny. The three brothers on which the article focuses are Dario, Milo, and Stefano. Dario and Milo are involved in the video game industry. Stefano is involved in cartooning. Reviewing the sources via the custom search at WP:VG/RS, it seems that: whereas the expression "Casali brothers" receives very little in the way of coverage by mainstream RSes, Dario has received a significant amount of RS coverage, although many of them seem to be passing references and not "significant coverage" except in the aggregate which is not how the term is used at Wikipedia. Milo has received very little coverage at all and this coverage seems to consist exclusively of passing references. Not a good sign. Reviewing the mainstream sources (Google Books, Google News, etc.) shows that Stefano has also received a significant amount of RS coverage but as with Dario much of the coverage is passing in nature. So I think Izno's suggestion of a redirect to Final Doom may make the most sense at this point, without prejudice against the later creation of individual articles on either or both of Dario Casali and Stefano Casali. I will strike the "weak" from my !vote if, time permitting, I'm able to go through all of the many sources covering Dario and Stefano to the extent that I'm comfortable in asserting that none of the coverage is "significant coverage". -Thibbs (talk) 12:44, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure why this got two relists. Two !votes calling for a redirect before the first relist plus the nomination's "delete" should have resulted, at the minimum, in a redirect. Let's get an admin in here to close this. --Izno (talk) 13:30, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
