Rifat Hasan Rabbi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The awards would probably prevent a WP:A7 deletion and, although clearly written with intent to promote, it isn't blatant enough for a WP:G11 either. That being said, I found absolutely nothing in a WP:BEFORE and the provided references are all social media and self-published sources. YouTube videos don't demonstrate notability nor does having an Amazon Music or SoundCloud page. Absolutely anyone can get those. This clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Do not send this to draft, just remove it. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Sir, Rifat Hasan Rabbi is an Musical Artist.He is verified artist on many International Media. So,I think he should have a article on Wikipedia.I give some valid link for verification. I give his Google Scholar Link.https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1a4jzasAAAAJ It is his google scholar link. Please,don't delete this article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rif.Rifat (talk • contribs)
 * - it does seem that he has a lot of citations on Google Scholar so maybe he meets WP:NSCHOLAR! I have added the discussion to Academics and Educators so someone with more experience on assessing academics can help. Why does the article not contain any reference to his academic work and why is there no coverage online of all of this work that he is doing? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:14, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't understand what the Google Scholar link above means or how it relates to him -- there are articles listed there from before he was born (the first article is from 1995, while the subject was born in 2003). Not to mention, this article is about him being a musician, not an academic (it would be difficult for a 17-year-old to be an extensively published scholar). Most of the citations in this article are just links to his own music or unreliable sites such as Medium.com. I don't think he qualifies for an article at this time. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:38, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. User:Spiderone, the google scholar profile, while impressive, is also a fake (none of the listed papers I checked have him as an author) or a hijack (possibly of Rifat Atun, not sure). It is also a poorly done fake, as it has him writing academic papers from before his birth (e.g. papers from 1995, Rabbi was born in 2003 according to the article). As for the musician side he lacks significant coverage and this is corroborated by the YouTube test - he has 9 subscribers on YouTube and all of the videos have less than 100 views.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 16:46, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for your input. It's really quite alarming that Google Scholar would allow such a hoax to be on there! I trust that there isn't always great fact-checking going on there or it's a website, like Wikipedia, that anyone can edit? I was confident about failing MUSICBIO and GNG so when the creator threw the claim to notability as an academic in there, it really had me flapping!

 * The profiles on Google scholar are, in my understanding, user generated. You need to verify your e-mail, but it will let you add any paper to your profile. They might cull bad profiles by some process, but in most cases real researchers won't post fake profiles of themselves, e.g. claiming authorship of someone else's papers, as that would be plagiarism and a large academic scandal. Note that the papers themselves, and citation counts thereof, are harder to fake. It is the user profiles (and associating papers to user profiles) that are the user generated portion. They probably allow users to associate papers to deal with names changes, differing names forms (e.g. full name, or initialed), and names in multiple languages (particularly non-Latin names).-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 17:22, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, Google (being Google) finds a lot of publication information by scraping, but the profile pages can be modified manually to a considerable extent. For example, their system might not be able to tell that two different papers are really the same (say, if one is really just a preprint version of the other). So, they offer the option of merging items. It's also possible that a paper will show up in their system with author names missing (maybe if it was cited with an "et al."), so you can claim papers as yours even when the system doesn't automatically find them. In this case, it looks like someone created a profile entirely by claiming papers from other people. We've got soil bacteria, psychiatry, oncology, control theory, some pure mathematics ... The common factor appears to be that an author on each was named "Rifat". XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
