Sandip Pal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A bit of a procedural nomination, I came across this page as a redirect pointing to Hindustan Times, the subject's employer, but the target doesn't mention Sandip Pal at all. The redirect had been created as an alternative to A7 deletion. Rather than deleting the redirect and its history through an RfD discussion, I figured it would be better to assess the merits of the original article at AfD. That having been said, the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG, as all coverage appears to be puff-pieces, whose tone has been replicated in the article. While the subject has won a scriptwriting award, I would hazard to say that WP:ANYBIO is not satisfied as the script was never used. signed,Rosguill talk 20:52, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NCREATIVE and WP:GNG. The claims-to-fame, which are, (a) has interviewed notable entertainers, (b) is in the process of directing a movie, and (c) won a script awards at the 2008 Kolkata International Film Festival (for a script that yet remains unproduced) are not sufficient to establish notability. Fwiw, I could not find any details of the award on the festival website or anywhere outside the sources related to Pal. And that sourcing is suspect: poorly written, fluffy, cookie-cutter articles indicative of PR-placements (as is the wikipedia article itself). Abecedare (talk) 01:24, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
