Syed Anwaar Gilani

Probable hoax. Creator of article, User:Anwaar gilani has an interest in Ekta Kapoor. See WP:Articles for deletion/Durga Maa Telefilms. In any case, this person doesn't have the reliable sources to have a Wikipedia article. ‎I could use the assistance of sharp-eyed people to find more hoaxes, starting with the other contribs of the article creator.

 * Delete agree that this one doesn't have any verifiable references provided or found. But before anyone gets carried away Etka Kapoor does seem to exist and be notable, so interest in that page may not mean anything, unlike the Sharan Kapoor article which seems more dubious. -Hunting dog (talk) 20:42, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Clearly, the hoaxer(s) have a crush on Ekta Kapoor. From the 13,800 returns in the Google image search she seems to be very real. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 20:53, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but for lack of notability and reliable sources: I don't see any reason to consider this a hoax, or connected with the Sharan Kapoor/Durga Maa Telefilms set of hoaxes - he hasn't edited any of them. It's true that the first version of the hoax article Sharan Kapoor ended "edited by: Syed Anwaar Gilani", but he can't be blamed for that, because it wasn't true - the history shows the article was posted by the hoaxer . Ekta Kapoor is real, and so are her mother Shobha Kapoor, father Jeetendra a.k.a. Ravi Kapoor and brother Tusshar Kapoor. The hoaxer introduced a fictitious brother Sharan Kapoor into this real cinema/acting family. JohnCD (talk) 21:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. May not have been part of ongoing hoax, but article fails WP:N, WP:V, and WP:RS.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:04, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Further, the self-published biography violates WP:COI, WP:AUTO, and WP:BLP.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And it does appear that User:Anwaar gilani is himself involved in his own small set of unsupported articles: Kamya Panjabi, Mohabbat Zindabad, Punjab Public Library Lahore, Kya Dill Mein Hai. It's almost where one left off, the other began. Similar patterns. Only a checkuser would know if the relationship is closer. He has also uploaded a series of images... but that's for an IfD.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:19, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment existence of Kya Dill Mein Hai is supported by Times of India article and other Google news hits, may or may not be notable beyond association with Ekta but isn't hoax, that's what I meant when I said don't get carried away with connection to Kapoor family, there are plenty of good faith articles / info around about them. -Hunting dog (talk) 22:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Struck that one. Poorly sourced but not imaginary.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete wondering if it's not another sock... JuJube (talk) 21:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
