Does not satisfy the WP:NBIO criteria: a young entrepreneur, founder of a small software business, his only claim to notability is receiving an award from regional government - an award apparently not based on merits but on a public poll! Sources quoted do not help in establishing the guy's notability and comprise of a software review, a list of the 21 recipients of the said award, and a cursory mention elsewhere. So, this is a typical example of WP:SINGLEEVENT. kashmiri TALK 18:05, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment at least as notable as winning a state level pageant like Meg McGuffin did. Guy started a business, won an award, employed people, developed products all over the span of years. That is more notable then most people in the world. Listening to some people here, a passing mention in a newspaper is enough to satisfy GNG. Legacypac (talk) 18:16, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- I agree to a degree, I would perhaps AfD Meg McGuffin - if not her coverage. But still I would't compare Miss Alabama and Miss America pageants to the Young Entrepreneur Award in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. It just doesn't compare. In the latter, in a public vote in a state of 14 million people, the most any winner received was less than 2000 votes, and media did not rather notice that. This precisely affects notability of a person. kashmiri TALK 18:49, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- I'm just looking for some consistent application of the GNG for Bios. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tamara Fazzolari, efforts to delete a page with way more sources at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Candy Carson, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ali Wallace and the list goes on. I'm not going to be disruptive and vote against deleting every bio with a source, but when people are calling for a ban on me using AfD for trying to clean up promotional fluff...

He is notable as he has not just won youth icon award but also been able to win best entrepreneur not just that his poems in kashmiri and Urdu are widely known. He is a young entrepreneur who is recruiting young people by providing them trainings in a conflict torn state. He deserves to be on Wikipedia his business is not small scale rather a medium level expanding one. I have researched on him and he has been interviewed by Indian National TV - Doordarshan and also ETV Urdu short clips are on YouTube from these interviews. He has great Oratory skills and known sales communication trainer I checked his linkedin page which has more details about him. He has thousands of people attached their endorsing his skills and notability to be exact! I would recommend voting to keep this page and further edit it. The information about such people is of public interest. I will try to upload the bio part a lil more to it tomorrow as I'm gathering details on it I wish to work more on it as I'm new maybe someone among you can help me in building this page better.

- TV stations routinely interview tens or more people every single day, to fill the programme. Being on TV does not confer automatic notability, sorry! Or, I should perhaps get Wikipedia articles written about myself and quite a few colleagues of mine? BTW, his poetry is virtually unknown in Jammu & Kashmir, or did I miss something? kashmiri TALK 15:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as pure Wikipedia:Vanispamcruftisement. Business "awards" like this are a dime-a-dozen. Please promote yourself elsewhere. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
"Public poll" I guess that shows the notability rather than proving against it, public poll shows public interest. I don't see any parameters breaking that.
I would say "keep" after checking the sources which are reliable. If we deny bio with sources of reliable nature then I guess lot other bio should not be here.
Being a top entrepreneur in that state is quite notable. I don't see any open promotional material on the page but I think it should be edited properly to present the information in best shape.

- Are you kidding me? Do you know how such "polls" are organised? The winner is one who is most popular in his/her uni class. Claiming that this particular award went to a "top entrepreneur" in the state is a joke. And read WP:ONEEVENT and WP:INTHENEWS please. kashmiri TALK 11:33, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- You must be kidding me using your experience on Wikipedia as a monopoly over reviewing as if you're the founding member of this encyclopaedia, if you cannot check and prove the sources are organised you cannot push on allegations like that, I did my part you don't have to debate as its a discussion. And just one person cannot have say over matters here. You should stop pulling strings like you wish and let others decide this article! Polls define the popularity of people and when it's published on reliable source.
- You just don't have to be a cop over here, be a contributor give your opinion related to the policies which policy says poll cannot be considered notable feature?

- Delete, not notable. We need significant coverage, not bare mentions. The awards themselves don't seem significant enough to prove notability, either. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 14:52, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, Notable as the sources have mentioned him for notable reasons not just awards. Please check the recently added sources. I guess Youth Icon Award is greatly notable.

- Delete Fails WP:GNG , WP:SINGLEEVENT and WP:ANYBIO and even his company does not appear to be notable.Further he is 25 years and upcoming and at best a case of WP:TOOSOON.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:16, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep, How is WP:SINGLEEVENT While it has been reported for two awards nd two different notable achievements which includes creating the states first online radio which has listeners across the the world, I would request checking the CITYFMJK Radio for added links! The age argument is not worthy to discuss! The Page also contains notable sources that indicate the validation of the content! 7 link sources for 4 different achievements! not a single event!

- The station is listed as a "product" of his company[1] and actually is one of a myriad webcast stations that anyone can set up on the www.radio.co platform. It was started only two years ago and has almost no mentions in internet sources that I could find. Anyhow, this does not prove how the guy is notable on his own. By the way, a website I set up also has readers from all over the world but this does not make me notable! kashmiri TALK 13:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - cannot find enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show that they pass notability criteria. Onel5969 TT me 14:18, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
