Your thoughts?

Hello @J Milburn. About 14 years ago, you left this edit summary. I am interested to get your thoughts on Gatis Kandis now. I've been following his work for a number of years and decided to research him for an article. 11WB (talk) 13:32, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

@11WB: I'm not really sure there's enough there; I doubt it would survive at AfD. I see a few nods to him in The Guardian, but there just isn't that much about him in decent sources, as far as I can see. But I admit it's clear he's done something outside of BGT now!

The Ir source, which is paywalled, is an article from a respected Latvian news outlet about him alone. This, coupled with the Digital Spy and Delfi articles passes GNG. It may well be nominated in the future. This is a proper BLP however. All the other attempts at articles on him have had 1 or 2 citations, such as from the now deprecated Daily Mail.
I'll continue to look for stuff on him. Thanks for your feedback! 11WB (talk) 07:45, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
