 * Hi editor,

Plz consider those all below mentioned facts. 1-I have submitted enough credible source. The person is shortlisted for prestigious cannans film festival. Isn't it an achievement to be considered. 2- In India, around the year of 2005-06, there were not enough online newspaper. We have enough news coverage in vernacular languages about this subject which we can't submit. This number can be over 500 but we can't extract the link. Also he has directed 5 movies, assisted more than 50 movies, produce 5, directed many TV serials and video albums. His movie is KAUN HAI JO SAPNO MEIN AAYA already has a wikipedia page. So can you plz tell me what sort of credible reference are you looking for or you are being unnecessarily biased and arbitrarily using your wikipedia editor privileges. 3-All movie directors are not on rotten tomato. Also we have removed the rotten tomato link although this link belong to the particular subject. 4-Also, if you have any suggestion, plz leave us before considering it for deletion. Also let us know do you accept vernacular coverage in Indian language. 5-Halifax College doctorate certificate- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdnt (talk • contribs) 08:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC) 6-A couple of vernacular coverages are included below, including leading vernacular magazines which have given the cover story for him on front page. please have a look before passing the judgment.  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. Unable to find any non-trivial coverage in third-party reliable sources. Most of the sources cited in the article are spam-ish blogs. Among the rest, a couple make a passing mention of the subject. does't even mention him. utcursch &#124; talk 01:53, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Only one of the sources was usable, this review from IndiaGlitz. The others are all blogs, primary, or otherwise unsuitable as RS on Wikipedia. I also have to agree - to my knowledge there's no Halifax University in the United States that awards doctorates. The only college with Halifax in its name that I can find (in the United States) is Halifax Community College, which most assuredly does not award doctorates. I also have to note that the film article for Kaun Hai Jo Sapno Mein Aaya needs some cleanup since it was trying to cite user reviews as the RT meter. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:53, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've temporarily blocked the article creator for repeatedly removing the AfD tags and I've redirected the film article to the director's page. I can't find anything to establish notability per NFILM, not even while using the India WP's search engine. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:06, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've cleaned out all of the sources except for the IG source - I have no problem with the material being re-added if they can be backed with reliable sources. However I need to stress that none of the removed sources are reliable and one of the sources seems to claim something that's (so far) provably false - that Bhatt received a doctorate from a college that doesn't exist in the United States. In the article it's being used to claim that he received a doctorate from Halifax University in the UK, however the source does claim an entirely different continent, so it cannot be used to back that claim. Pretty much anything from Bhatt himself needs to be viewed with some suspicion given the claims about the university, unfortunately. 05:19, 2 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - nothing in search engines to show they pass WP:GNG, and doesn't pass WP:FILMMAKER.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
