 * Delete I can find zero good sources. Google gives me Facebook and Linkedin right at the top and google news gives me nothing at all. Oh, and his asianoutlook website references are all 404 for me. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:27, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Lack of substantial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. Like Anna Frodesiak, I could find nothing at all on the subject. The claims to notabilty in the article are particularly weak and not convincing. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 08:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability and absence of reliable sources QuiteUnusual (talk) 10:59, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Also try looking for "Shahid Malik". Found two film credits on his name as Producer referenced to NYTimes. Added those in article. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 11:32, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. I also can find nothing substantive about his life in reliable sources.  -- Jayron  32  14:53, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per lack of WP:42.  15:46, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Judging by the large number of people from South Asia who create personal pages on Wikipedia for promotion and for displaying their CV there seems to be a common belief in that part of the world that Wikipedia is a social network like Facebook or LinkedIn. It's not. Thomas.W (talk) 18:40, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As an aside, this is not a problem restricted to South Asia. There's an abundance of this behavior from all parts of the world, probably in nearly perfect proportion to the level of internet access and English language usage from those parts of the world.  -- Jayron  32  20:51, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment:The article is now independently sourced. Would like everyone here to have a look at it and then factor comments accordingly. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 09:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Even with the new references the subject doesn't even come close to meeting WP:GNG. This is not an independent source. This reference is about a place he is an advisor for but in no way mentions the subject in any way and does nothing for the notability of the subject.  These two are the very definition of trivial coverage and most certainly do not "address the subject directly in detail".  There doesn't appear to be a single source which would support this subject's notability.  The article does not meet any notability criteria per the lack of independent reliable sources that have any coverage of the subject. - SudoGhost 10:31, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right about the music school in a way, he is their adviser, so the subject and the source is kind of related. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:36, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
