Romail Gulzar

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Gulzar (who appears to have written this article about himself) does not seem to meet our notability requirements. Some of the references cited in the article discuss the magazine he edits rather than him, and as we know, notability is not inherited. The remainder do not add up to significant coverage. A Google search reveals some routine local coverage of him, but nothing substantial. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:42, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Self promotion with insufficient coverage in reliable sources. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:19, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete What Philafrenzy said. Also poorly written and sourced. --Hybris1984 (talk) 13:09, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. What an example of a boomerang effect, too. If this is indeed an autobio, writing about oneself in such an amateurish way rubbishes one's own claims of excellence -- though he does admit that suffers from the "disability" of "very little English."

 * Where did you read that, Shawn in Montreal? The article states that he speaks English to a professional level, which I presumed to be true given that he edits a magazine. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:41, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * His last sentence in his Achievements section, Cordless Larry. Just before the table. So yes on top of everything else, a bizarre rather clownish contradiction. Perhaps not all the SPAs are Romail. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:49, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Strangely, both statements about his English ability were added by the same editor, Romg10. Perhaps the account is being shared? Cordless Larry (talk) 19:25, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No I think we're dealing with someone who'll say or do anything to keep his vanity article. No doubt someone had corrected him on his poor English and he modified his article without the basic competence to realize he's contradicted himself. There's also probably sockpuppetry here. If this is a notable Pakistani journalist, god help that beleagured nation. I've opened an SPI. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:00, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

HikingSam48 (talk) 11:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)I have read the article a few times and do not see an issue with it. None of it is opinion based all seems to be based on facts. I do agree that maybe there could be a few more references sited, but it all seems legit after checking the sources. I have found another few source that helps back up some of what is said in the article. On the website at itv central it does mention his name under some of the pictures crediting his name and his media agency. So he does do some work for them it seems. — HikingSam48 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete None of the above exactly adds to a notability claim.  This discussion can be wrapped up soon.  KDS 4444  Talk  09:51, 20 February 2016 (UTC)


 * The concern is with the subject's notability,, not whether the information is "legit". Cordless Larry (talk) 14:01, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
