 * Delete Completely non-notable, the same old first page flood of social media networks in a Google search. Myname is not dave (talk/contribs) 16:49, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Keep – Passed GNG. Sources are easily available on the web. Just need to search harder. Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 01:28, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Source Arteyu ?  Blame it on me ! 01:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You, as the creator of this article, should add the sources. If there are sources, just show them, don't ask that anybody tries to look for web content of common names, searches will be contaminated by zillions of references to different people. Kraxler (talk) 18:36, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete no claim of notability in the article, just another radio DJ, refs are a dead link, and only one nesw source, fails WP:GNG. Kraxler (talk) 18:36, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources link Arteyu provided above shows news articles about a local magistrate or athletes. To me, that demonstrates the lack of notability of the subject of this article. If Arteyu would like to provide links to exact articles which are on point, perhaps they could recruit someone to help clean-up the page. As it stands, I think the article should be deleted.

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. A search on News did not appear to turn up anything on his individual. Rather, as Knope7 pointed out, they were about a magistrate and a fighter. However, I did find one good source, here. There might be others, so my suggestion would be to Userfy for now.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:31, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Userfy and mentor He does appear to be a well-known radio DJ in addition to his other roles, and not just "any DJ". Only the external link was dead. The link to "Faizal Ismail seronok berlakon" worked as did its archive, although I noticed a tendency for bharian.com.my to time out. In addition to "Zizan Razak, Faizal Ismail hos Anugerah Industri Muzik ke-21" found by editor  Onel 5969 ; there are articles at: "Bahana panggilan hangit: Faizal Ismail, Fara Fauzana sudah selesa ‘berhangat’ di stesen radio Hot FM", "Rintangan Faizal sebelum miliki Norazlina","Fizie ganti Faizal Ismail di Hot FM", and "Hunny Madu ikut Faizal Ismail". I even found a couple in English, although they are just passing mentions of one of his acting roles, his role as a concert host and his work as a DJ. "Transformers: Age Of Extinction in Bahasa Malaysia on HBO this Hari Raya", "Akademi Fantasia: 'Don't let viewers use your performance to use the restroom'""Rocking to the beat of unity" and "Making homes affordable".  There were more listed for various Malaysian news outlets, but these ones in Malaysian were the first ones that popped out with more than passing mention. --Bejnar (talk) 14:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Here are a couple more: "Faizal Ismail berhenti jadi deejay Hot FM", "FBI kembali bersama Hot FM?" and the more substantial "Punca Faizal Ismail (FBI) Letak Jawatan", "Faizal Ismail: Bukan kerana tawaran lumayan" and "Saya tak nak jadi perabot tua - FBI". --Bejnar (talk) 15:16, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
