Hi, the article Sufiyan Malik has been proposed for deletion but I want to highlight some points which will clear that he is notable and this article is not for promotion. Sufiyan Malik is a well known and notable person in India. I will be adding citations and official goverment links that have his name and awards repectively in it. He has won the highest civilian state awards by the Goverment of India. The article is not in any way used for self promotion or whatsoever. He has also been a part of game of thrones web series. His music video was th lone entry from India into HBO's Official Game of Thrones fan anthem. Also, the article is written in Neutral point of view. Kashpeople (talk) 14:11, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Sir, I have added more citations, information on the page regarding the subjects awards, and media links that are on the top national news media. I have added the goverment page that shows his name as the republic awardee in 2020. That is the highest civilian state honour. I wont remove the tag. You can go ahead and see the information and delete the tag. Thank you. Kashpeople (talk) 14:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Per Nom. Noobmaster29 (talk) 17:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Note that the article's very first edit was by Mr. Malik himself, but most other edits are by a different editor, Kashpeople, and accusations of promotion since then need proof of a connection between those two editors. The article has been improved from its previous state. Mr. Malik just barely passes #1 at WP:MUSICBIO with independent coverage of a government award and for latching onto a Game of Thrones contest. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 02:13, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


 * The article has also been created by the same person, to whom the article addresses to. Wikipedia is not a place to write autobiographies. LuciferEdits (talk) 04:58, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It was an autobiography in its very first version. There have been more than a dozen content-oriented edits by other people since then. And even if "autobiography" is still a problem now, a deletion discussion is supposed to be about the notability of the person. If notable (and I voted "weak" above), any remaining autobiographical text can be removed by the community. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 14:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The article is not used for any promotion of Mr.Malik. As I have added today that he is nominated for the fourth highest civilian honour the Padma Shri. And also I have given links below in this discussion to magazine interview where he is artist of the month. Also, he has won the Kashmir's got Talent show in 2015 citation's you find below in my another comment with citation from a school newspaper also. He qualifies the WP:MUSICBIO .Also that he was the only entry from India into Game of Thrones Fan anthem citation's are on the article. This discussion should be closed and the tag should be removed from the article. I have voted for keep below. Kashpeople (talk) 14:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * After the article was created, it was edited by different editors with whom I have no connection with. It has been improved and reached a state of neutral point of view.Sufiyanmalik123 (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - Notable, a Padma Shri 2021 Nominee, Highest civilian state goverment award and game of thrones fan anthem appearence as the only entry from India. Has articles/interviews from top national media coverage news sites, goverment websites, and has enough to pass WP:MUSICBIO. Also as mentioned above by 'Kashpeople' has won "Kashmirs Got Talent" show with 1st position and has coverage on school newspaper also. The article should be kept.

 * Keep -Notable, meets WP:GNG, with significant coverage in reliable sources. Also passes WP:MUSICBIO with a goverment award and recently added in the article Sufiyan Malik, a nomination for Padma Shri with a reference to a goverment website for Padma awards. Also, has worked for HBO's game of thrones fan anthem as the only from India. Kashpeople (talk) 14:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You can't vote twice, and your comment is a misperception of how "Speedy Keep" works. (This refers to a vote that has since been deleted.) ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 14:04, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted the last vote. My vote is a 'keep'.Kashpeople (talk) 14:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Per nom, the Padma Award nomination is by an individual and not by the Indian government. Sidchakrab (talk) 14:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
