Asli Daud

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not describe what is notable about the subject; is promotional, being an advertisement for Asli Digital Media. I and someone else tagged for CSD G11 unambiguous advertising but an IP editor removed the CSD template multiple times*, hance forcing this AfD. Sources, whether in the article or found through WP:BEFORE, are either non-reliable sources fawning over the subject, routine announcements, or paid-for articles with caveats e.g. "The Asian Age does not endorse the above content." and "IBT does not endorse any of the above content." Does not pass WP:GNG, WP:BASIC or WP:CREATIVE. -Lopifalko (talk) 04:38, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I fixed a bunch of dupe refs and deleted a few others whose reporting was extremely poor. One ref still in the article reads "The prominent Arabic music leading light's proclamation for the colossal Indo-Arabic collab with the Indian music industry has, hitherto, congested the news. The voguish bigwig has proclaimed about his collab with Asli Daud AKA Abdullah, the unusually percepted hotshot." I'm wondering if this text was machine generated, or written by someone on drugs? The article is so bad that the best solution is to delete and wait to see if his notability in good sources of this voguish bigwig will increase to a collossal enough level that he can be percepted as a notable hotshot... (which I doubt will happen). In the meantime it should be salted given the problems described by Lopifalko in the nom.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:02, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as A7 and/or G11 - I firmly believe that the speedy deletion removals were bad-faith removals (there's two very new editors and a couple IPs working on this article, so high probability sock/meatpuppetry). Non-notable subject, blatantly promotional article. creffpublic  a creffett franchise (talk to the boss) 13:40, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment The article claims that Daud was a producer for Mastizaade. Per the article on the film principal photography commenced on 7 September 2014. Daud was born in 1997, so he would have been 17 or 18 years old when they began shooting the film and even younger when planning the production. That seems unlikely. The film had a inr 300000000 budget. I'm conjecturing here, but it Daud was probably working or interning for the production company, Pritish Nandy Communications Ltd.

 * Comment After more verifications I have updated Asli Daud's Filmography as per User:Vexations Asli Daud is not Producer in Mastizaade but he is assisting producer I had mentioned it due to lack of research about his filmography now it has been improved for reference — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dex1122 (talk • contribs) 15:09, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , IMDB is not a reliable source. I looked at Daud's IMDB page earlier, and the information you cite above was just added today. That does not instill trust that any of Daud's biography can be reliably sourced. The article fails one of wikipedia's most important policies, verifiability. I now support deletion of the article on two grounds; it violates our policy on what Wikipedia is not (a platform for advertising) and the information cannot be verified. Delete.
