Saeed Orokzai

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this via an article that was up for speedy deletion (one of the re-creations of Ali Orokzai, the director's son). After looking at the article I noticed that there were no truly reliable sources in the article and despite the claims made in the article, I couldn't really find anything to back up any of the claims. A search for his film Loori (under "Loori" and Orokzai) doesn't bring up anything in a search either, despite the claims of winning multiple awards, nor does any of the claims of one of the director's films being burned by the Taliban. There may be coverage in another language, but a search in English brings up nothing to really show that the guy is all that notable. I know that English coverage is not the end and beginning of reliable sources, but it is usually pretty telling when a search brings up nothing to back up any of the claims. If anyone can find coverage I'm open to negotiations, but offhand the guy looks solidly non-notable. If this is deleted then I do recommend salting, as it appears that there have been multiple accounts and sockpuppets trying to re-create the article for his son Ali (I think that there have been at least 6 attempts at re-creation so far).

 * It looks like there was an article that pre-dates this one at Said Worakzai, but it makes the same arguments for notability. Since the two are so similar in content I've re-directed it to the current article and making a note of this here. I did perform a search under the different spelling, but nothing is coming up and I received more hits under the spelling of the current article than under Said Worakzai, so this new spelling does not do anything to improve notability.
