Sushmendra Dubey

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Don't believe this person meets GNG. Google returns nothing reliable, lots of linkedin etc. Page is also written like an advertorial Gbawden (talk) 08:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)


 * CommentI believe a person of stature of Susmendra Dubey should have listing on Wiki. His name is already mentioned in other article in wiki where link is provided. More contribution time should be provided. I am not related or have any association. Created his page after being impressed with quality of his work. He is mentioned in various newspapers regularly and is on TV featuring his work. Finding and adding more linksRajsaini24 (talk) 16:34, 12 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Added lot of reference material verifiable by me and two other users as I can see in the history. Please comment after seeing the edit. Doing research. Will add more relevant material and links. Request the article to be removed from AFD list and given time for improvement. Rajsaini24 (talk) 17:32, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - India Tribune article is nothing more than passing mention about them adopting a child, routine news coverage. The Chennai Online link is just a name listed as a juror on a contest. Own website is not a reference. AdsofTheWorld is just three of his images, no information. Wiki2 is not a reference, it is literally just wikipedia copied and Wikipedia is not a reference. DubsPhotography is non-independent reference. Coloribus is some issue as AdsofTheWorld. Food And Night Life doesn't even mention him. ForbesIndia is a comment on a news article by him, not indepedent. MonsoonSalon is just a passing mention. Next two are blogs, unreliable. ProductionParadise is an advert by him. IndiCulture is a comment by a user mentioning him, unreliable. Same with bollywooders. Unreliable non-independent reference next, next one is a blog. Basically, all of them are trash.

 * Moveagreed the links provided are weak but still not prove that the person is fake. If any mention in known newspaper like Tribune or the person to feature as juror is still an indicative that person is worth considering. Other links also feature his photographs, so giving a benefit of doubt that photographer will be featured with the photographs only rather than text. With these mentions, request that the article be moved to drafts and more time be provided to improve on it rather than straight AFD. As per my impression he is a well known personality in the country. As all the links had been sourced independently through google, I request that time should be given to source through media agencies who store news coverages as imaged articles are not possible to search through google.Rajsaini24 (talk) 01:02, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Promotional, poorly sourced, no clear evidence of significance among the flimflam, generally grotesque. Incidentally, in its current state, the article "Akshat Chopra" (to which this article links) has considerable comedy value, which I presume is unintended. -- Hoary (talk) 08:11, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Move. Links are surely weak but does not prove the person do not have significant standing in fashion photography. Link clearly shows he had been a juror in FTV work. Also with photographs I can see work with famous film personalities. It is hilarious comment of my fellow editor to say another wiki article is comedy. When something is already with approval on wiki, it should be considered a substantial link. Till now I am seeing reference of only editors who are not related to or without any link or knowledge of Indian media industry. Moreover I had checked other photographers wiki pages, including the mentioned Prabhuda in this article. Most of them do not have media links or any reliable links. Most are just depending on the links to work in photography done. The lines of this article are similar to them only. More time should be provided to add links related to work. Would like to invite some editors with india links or knowledge to contribute the suggestion on further action on this article. Till then article to be moved to drafts. 115.164.62.162 (talk) 15:43, 13 November 2014 (UTC) — 115.164.62.162 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete. Does not demonstrate sufficient notability within his fields of advertising or photography (no awards, no products such as books, no exhibitions) merely that he has been a worker in these fields. -Lopifalko (talk)


 * Keep. I am related to media profession in India. I had seen plenty of mention of this person on TV. Soon will edit with links and more info on this person. Already had mnailed to various TV channels to provide links for Sushmendra. He is a renowned personality in Fashion and Photography world. It does seems a tall claim, but can demonstrate with authentic links soon.Already added a TV link earlier also about him.Dubswiki (talk) 11:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC) — Dubswiki (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete We require coverage of the article subject in independent reliable sources and that clearly does not exist here, nor can I find any. - Sitush (talk) 13:34, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wikipedia is not WP:LINKEDIN.  I am sure he's a competent photographer, but doesn't means he's "notable" to merit a wikipedia article about him.--Milowent • hasspoken  00:21, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
