Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burhaan Kinu


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of Indian journalists. While by a pure nose count this might appear a "no consensus", the "keep" arguments do not refute the argument that there is not enough source material available to sustain an article. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:14, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Burhaan Kinu

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The sources are primary and of his own website, the other sources mentioned aren't articles on him rather then article's which have his pictures. He works for Hindustan Times. but it doesn't demonstrate notability. Also there are sources like gettyimages where anyone could upload pictures to. --  Jammumylove  Talk to me or CHECK MY RECENT WORK 19:50, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards holder. ─ The Aafī on Mobile   (talk)|undefined  06:58, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Easily passes WP:ANYBIO as he is the winner of Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards.Kichu🐘 Need any help? 07:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: It would be nice if more !votes address whether the subject meets WP:BASIC and/or WP:GNG instead, perhaps through searching for sources. Skimming over the sources in the article, the deletion rationale does not seem baseless.
 *  Nominator’s Comment, as above stated by two editors that this article should be kept just because he has won an notable award. This doesn’t justify or demonstrate his notability. Because WP:NAWARD is a failed proposal. Apart from this award this journalist has no other source to demonstrate his notability, it’s clearly evident from The sources and references on this page. And if this article is kept because of the Award, then the WP:NAWARD page should be updated because it’s misleading. --  Jammumylove  Talk to me or CHECK MY RECENT WORK 13:47, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Reply to nom: Dear nom, I am not saying about WP:NAWARD. I am saying about WP:ANYBIO. Please interpret things properly.Kichu🐘 Need any help? 14:22, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not enough to have this BLP on WP. Kolma8 (talk) 12:44, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep This old article may have COI concerns and needs heavy cleanup. But the subject seems notable while passing WP:GNG. ☆★  Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 11:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Per WP:NBIO, if the subject meets WP: ANYBIO or other additional criteria but fails WP:BASIC or other guidelines to establish notability (such as WP:GNG), it might be more appropriate to merge instead.

 * Keep - Shows notability within local news outlet and some even outer aspects. Not reasonable for quick deletion. Future guides. --203.87.133.197 (talk) 15:18, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the List of Indian journalists. There is no doubt that his work has been acknowledged in journalism, but unfortunately listed sources only shows Image courtesy: Burhaan Kinu at Hindustan Times. I found only one source that talks about the subject independently, but since it is a BLP article, it should be supported by multiple independent RS. Therefore, it be redirect it to Indian journalist list. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 11:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect: agree with TheBirdsShedTears that it should be redirected to the List of Indian journalists as the subject lacks secondary coverage defcon5 (talk) 14:29, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
