Hey Silverfish, thanks for your work identifying non-notable items. I deleted all but one that you reported today, because it had some identifiers that qualify it under Wikidata:N criteria #2. I was wondering if you had considered requesting local adminship here, so you could do this sort of work yourself? You might want a bit more experience with evaluating per the notability policy, but you could probably put the sysop bit to good use.

Thanks again for your help!

I hadn't considered applying for adminship, but I might do in the future. By the way, it looks like Agata Dutkowska (Q21088517) is the one you didn't delete: which identifier qualify it for notabilility, and is there a list somewhere? I ask because I'm trying to identify items that are likely to be non-notable by looking at ones without sitelinks), and it would be useful to be able to filter out ones any false positives.

Generally, anything other than facebook/twitter/other websites where they can make an account are good for notability (in my eyes anyway). We can be more inclusive here than say Wikipedia, because we're just dealing with data - so long as there is some 3rd party indication as to who they are that isn't made by themselves, then the item is generally good to keep.

And glad to hear you might consider it :). RfA is a pretty easy process here.

That makes sense. I'm mainly interested in spam items (where someone is created an item for their themselves or their company), which are unlikely to have an VIAF ID, say.
