Chandan Majumder

I tagged the article with BLP PROD, the user removed it. I warned them about it. But now they have put in references from what seems to be a reliable source. The source is for an award in the psychic community. Seems okay on the surface but go any deeper and there are problems. The source in question is from the Psychic Entertainers Association about an award. A quick Ctrl+F reveals that "Chandan Kumar Majumder" isn't mentioned once; nor are variations of the name: "Chandan Majumder", etc. Furthermore, the user included a picture of an unrelated magician in the article. A general search engine test reveals little except social media links. A more specific test for news articles reveals two reliable sources, but only passing mentions; hardly significant coverage. All of this is to say he fails the general notability guideline. More specifically, when we look at WP:BIO: barring an apparent university grant, he hasn't won any awards, and hasn't made enduring contributions to the field of magic and related sorcery areas, or else he would have been more widely covered. He also appears to fail WP:ENTERTAINER: no "cult", no innovation, no significant roles in stage performances that I can see. I am more than willing to be swayed from my opinion that this entry is unworthy of inclusion, but this doesn't seem likely. Thank you, ceradon ( talk  •  contribs ) 18:53, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom, I agree that the mentioned sources do not meet WP:GNG, neither is WP:ENTERTAINER met. I could not find aditional sources.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:37, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obvious autobiography, no sources; the same user is also author of the two (self?-)portraits in the article. Given the number of posts on the Facebook page (0, to save you from looking), this is probably a hoax too - a schoolboy having a bit of fun. Should probably be speedied as G3/G11. The two people named "Chandan Majumder" that this news search turns up are neither of them this person (one is a singer, the other a painter).

 * Delete, per nom and Yes it's an autobiography, check the creator's username: "Mentalist Chandan" . He is providing all the false information about him. He also created an article in Bengali Wikipedia, claiming him the best of the best mentalist, hypnotist and magician in home and abroad. I am a Bangladeshi and i never heard of him.
