Bobby Friction
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Dubious notability, currently effectively unreferenced. He won an Asian Music Award, but I failed to find any sources covering Bobby Friction himself in any detail (beyond the "Sikh Taliban" controversy that was removed). I also checked the references provided in the 2012 deletion discussion which never found their way into the article; of those that weren't broken beyond repair, this is the best, with the others largely passing mentions or name-drops. One good source is not enough for a Wikipedia article. Huon (talk) 20:43, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. First AfD was clear enough. --Michig (talk) 06:31, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep He easily passes notability, and is a very well respected Asian music presenter with plenty of British RS who has worked for the BBC (and specifically BBC Asian Network) since 2002. I am currently travelling but I can put this page well beyond debate as soon as I get a spare hour, as I did with another BBC radio presenter up for AfD recently.

 * Keep passes WP:MUSIC for winning a major awards such as 3 Sony Awards ana UK Asian Music Award Atlantic306 (talk) 18:52, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: certainly passes notability as he has presented shows on national UK radio and won three gold Sony Awards (the UK's most prestigious awards for broadcasting) for three separate programmes. I'm not absolutely certain on this one, but I think his Radio 1 show with Nihal which started in 2002 was the first Asian music programme on a national UK radio station.
