Vakas Siddiqui

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Blatant autobiography. I did not see any links which provide evidence of notability. &mdash; RHaworth 02:54, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep The links there are providing evidence, the artists name and participation is clearly mentioned there. Sohail Adam (talk) 08:09, 12 January 2011 (UTC) — Sohail Adam (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Note: the links mentioned Copycat name and logo, Copycat = Artist, Vakas Siddiqui. This guy owns Copycat which is mentioned in Copycat's official website. Sohail Adam (talk) 08:15, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: Though the supplied links indeed make much of the article's content verifiable, they are largely primary sources and therefore do not contribute to demonstrating notability. That would require substantial coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources (newspaper features about the subject, academic books dedicated to him, etc.); searching for these (e.g. in Google News and Google Books) I can find no such coverage. Therefore I don't believe the subject meets the WP:BIO inclusion requirements. Gonzonoir (talk) 12:57, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep All the links and/or references do contribute to notability specially after the articles has been improved, its clearly mentioned in referred links. 115.186.124.143 (talk) 20:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete heavily promotional and autobiographical, all of the big contributors appear to be SPAs or otherwise associated with the subject:, (who appears to have written most of the page), and the IP . Quick Bing and Google searches show no secondary sources. OSbornarfcontributionatoration 01:30, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Couple of changes has been done that may have improved the article and the view of editors who are reviewing this. 115.186.124.176 (talk) 12:10, 13 January 2011 (UTC) — 115.186.124.176 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment: The recent edits do improve the article's tone, but I'm afraid they still don't supply evidence of the kind of substantial coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources that would be necessary to convince me that the article's subject meets the WP:BIO inclusion requirements. We'd be looking for things like multiple newspaper articles substantially profiling the article's subject, chapters in books devoted to him - this kind of thing. As far as I can see the article's subject doesn't qualify for any special notability guideline that would waive this requirement. I'm therefore still favouring deletion.

 * Keep Yes this has been improved. We can close the discussion. 115.186.124.184 (talk) 20:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC) — 115.186.124.184 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete Despite the string of "keep" votes from IP accounts with strikingly similar IP numbers, all of whom have suddenly appeared at Wikipedia for the sole purpose of commenting on this AfD, there is nothing to suggest notability. The only references provided are to his own company. We require Independent Reliable Sources to establish this person's notability, and none could be found at Google or Google News. --MelanieN (talk) 15:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as per MelanieN. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 18:38, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
