Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manoj Bhawuk


 * 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 Speedy delete as a copyright infringement of http://www.orkut.com/Main#CommMsgs?cmm=25174744&tid=2510037144758592867. The original article was a verbatim copy, and the latest article was still substantially a copy of that page. This should not deter anyone from writing a new article on the topic, avoiding the same mistake. ''Note: I am aware that normally an editor who has commented in an AfD discussion should not close it. It seems to me, though, that, when the article has been deleted, leaving the discussion open serves no useful purpose, and just means that others have to spend time on it. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to reopen it.'' JamesBWatson (talk) 18:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Due diligence done. Subject of article does not meet WP:BASIC, or in the alternative WP:ANYBIO. Shirt58 (talk) 15:32, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. All the sources (that aren't broken links) are in Hindi, and some are to sites like blogspot and yahoo groups. My primary concern though is that the article is clearly promotional. "Manoj Bhawuk is shining star on the horizon of Bhojpuri literature and is very popular among young generation for his romantic poetry, his scintillating acting prowess and his untiring strive towards creativity." "This stupendous work of Bhawuk is a treasure and his wok will always be lighthouse for all of us who want to know the history of Bhojpuri film making." Part of the article is written in 1st person, and other parts look like they've been copied and pasted from elsewhere. (The author removed the notability and copypaste tags.) ~Adjwilley (talk) 18:55, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as totally promotional. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:53, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I have done few cosmetic changes and removed the offending weasel words. the person has recognition as evident in the reference which talks of his achievements. He has worked in Bhojpuri language so google will not be of much use in deciding notability, as the region suffers from wp:BIAS, print media is more popular here. Print media and local language which cannot be googled is another concern. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched. I would be glad if editors here ask for a translation of Hindi and Bhojpuri references --  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ  14:26, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
