 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is about a musician who fails our general notability guidelines as well as our specific notability guidelines for musicians as he hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources, nor has he made a significant impact within his field.

Delete. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Shearonink (talk) 05:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I doubt him selling 5000 copies of his first album really "brought him a global recognition overnight."  D r e a m Focus  16:05, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sufficient notability and references found on Google. Pass WP:MUSICBIO. wiliravan (talk) — wiliravan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Well, a lot of these seem to originate from the subject himself. For example, the "topnewsreports.com" link is definitely from the subject himself. --Ragib (talk) 23:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I found few notabilities on the subject online, which is definitely remarkable and are independent of the subject. But I must say most of the references sounded like originated from the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mizanalam (talk • contribs) — Mizanalam (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Strong Delete:Subject is virtually unknown in Bangladeshi media. Has no coverage in Bangladeshi news media outlets. This is a vanity autobiography. --Ragib (talk) 23:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe the references used in the context are independent of the subject and a little Google research revealed more about the subject than it is presented in the article. The author commented below, which seems like it is not "Autobiography". I suggest you to go through Five_pillars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicabn (talk • contribs) — Jessicabn (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment: His works are remarkable but his notabilities are weaker to be honest. I think subject needs more acceptable sources. —Preceding undated comment added 07:48, 18 October 2011 (UTC). Delete As a author i am hurt and i request you to delete it. Everyone in the world has a fair chance to be on wiki and all admins do here is bully people and only allow people who come on page3 and don respect people who have influenced so many life in their countries.
 * Comment: Looking at the other entries in the Reverbnation chart, I'm surprised to see no notable artists there. Almost all, if not ALL, of the entries in the chart are obscure artists/bands with no local notability in Bangladesh. I'm not sure how Reverbnation creates its list (is it a social network?). But inclusion into this list is no proof of notability as an artist since no notable artists/singers of Bangladesh are included there. Perhaps no real music band/artist from Bangladesh cares about this website. --Ragib (talk) 23:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: He seemed to have followers around the world. Well I've never heard of him. I also found he claims to avoid local media. I also found his recording label is not notable. . But even then I think the article is okay.--Jessicabn — Jessicabn (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * There's no need to be hurt. This deletion discussion is not in any way a reflection on Zayed Hassan's worth as a musician, but is simply based on the fact that nobody has produced any evidence on which to base the article's content. There doesn't seem to be any clear evidence in English on the Internet, but if you know of any reliable sources, such as books or newspapers, that have significant coverage of him in Bengali then please identify them here. They don't have to be available online. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I know you can feel sorry for this. But we need reliable sources. He is definitely a remarkable name in Statesville and Dhaka and also an awarded photographer . But reasonable media coverage should be presented here. I must say, still this article is sufficient enough to be on Wikipedia.

 * Subject is more remarkable over internet: I believe the dispute started with a specific intention. Can someone please clear the claiming source and its relation to the subject please. To claim failure of our general notability guidelines concerning this article, we need to be clear that first. Please keep the space clean abiding by WP:Five_pillars --Jessicabn
 * Nice, a single purpose account created solely to support the subject!! I'm pretty sure this is a sock created by the article author to support this vanity bio. --Ragib (talk) 03:09, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment: I would like to know how this article was created with a conflict of interest Wiliravan
 * It was listed as a sample work on that page. "bockee" must have recently changed the page to hide the info, but the old version still be seen with google's cache .  Them From  Space  03:12, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * says "I will give u advice to have your own page on WIKIPEDIA", which seems like a "HELP" and subjects article was modified many times by several contributors. So we can say it passed majority of the notability guideline. Please be informed that I am not author of this article, but I am have enough contribution on this article. I have googled about the subject since the first time I watched it. Hence I am more concerned on this dispute as the whole claim sounded very much intentional or decisive to me. Kindly can you also share with us, how we came to know about this . It will surely help us clearing up the purpose of the claim. Please don't take this discussion personally. As Phil_Bridger said, the subject will not have any impact for this; rather it may create impact on our judgement norms. Please let's move on with a transparent discussion. -- — wiliravan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Comment: It seems that the accounts, , and are all single purpose account created only to support the article. Handiwork of "bockee", the article-for-pay creator of this vanity bio? The duck test says YESS. --Ragib (talk) 03:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you are taking this "discussion" personally. We are discussing here about the originality of the article and its authenticity. But it is you, User:Dream_Focus and User:Themfromspace who are concerning on same point "Vanity". --Wiliravan — wiliravan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Subject's official release is available online: Please check Zayed Hassan's official release . It seems like the subject is more concerned on online coverage. --Wiliravan — wiliravan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Anyways People can delete this article. --Musicfanz1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicfanz1 (talk • contribs) 16:22, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * CommentSo Being a author people here are question and accusing me of some guy who puts links on his profile on some website and claims to be the author of this article. As a Author i ws inspired by Zayed's Music so i wanted to make an article which follows wiki standards. I guess i was wrong. U can clearly see from ur ips tat different people have edited the article how can u accuse things without Valid prof.Its unacceptable. No one gives u the right to point fingers at people in this free world without a valid prof.


 * CommentI recommend keeping this page and suggesting if any further citation required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiliravan (talk • contribs) 13:52, 22 October 2011 (UTC) — wiliravan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete. References from article and web search are press releases or otherwise primary, trivial, or sales-related. Nothing useful from WP:RS perspective to demonstrate notability. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 17:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 *  Delete fails WP:GNG by lacking reliable sources. Should comprehensive foreign-language sources be found, ping me on my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk)


 * There are virtually no Bengali language references to the subject. Google returns 46 hits ... out of these, none (except for this Wiki article and its 3 mirrors) discuss the subject. All of the Google hits refer to other people with the same name. --Ragib (talk) 04:44, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
