Farid Khan (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable journalist. One lucky interview (of someone who might be a relative or friend based on comments on the original interview site) gets published, and one interview of the subject at a fantasy sport site. Nothing there yet. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:49, 9 June 2013 (UTC) WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:49, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Comment: There seem to be two articles about the same subject: Farid 'Bronze Medalist' Khan and Farid Khan (journalist). - David Biddulph (talk) 11:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is no evidence this person is a notable journalist as I see no signficant coverage about him. It seems that he is just starting out on a career of journalism.  Good luck, but this is way too soon for an article.  As a tennis player, I cannot find him on the ATP rankings so he falls well short of being a notable athlete. - Whpq (talk) 15:31, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Comment: A number of editors (or perhaps one editor using a number of accounts) are repeatedly deleting the AFD tag from the article before the AFD discussion is complete. I don't know whether they think that this will prevent deletion if the AFD concludes that this is the appropriate action. - David Biddulph (talk) 11:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

This discussion is useless. He is very famous man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.189.127.154 (talk) 13:01, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - "Notability" when used on wikipedia has a specific meaning and is really a short hand for whether a topci should be included on Wikipedia. This is normally demonstrated through significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources writing about the subject.  Simply stating that he is famous, or well known without offering proof will not result in the article being kept. -- Whpq (talk) 13:32, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete one interview does not notability make. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:07, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
