Mohammad Gulzar Saifi[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A whopping total of 26 Google hits for this name. 161 for just "Gulzar Saifi", which is a redirect to this page. Other than that redirect, only two real Wiki pages actually link here--one for the film The Final Inch and one for the director of the film. Clearly not notable as an individual, although the film (of which he is reportedly the protagonist) certainly is. Most of this "biography" is actually information about the film. I recommend copying the small amount of biographical information from Mohammad Gulzar Saifi into the article The Final Inch and deleting with or without redirect. (A note: The user who started this article is currently unable to participate in this discussion due to the terms of an ArbCom decision. If it is felt that my nomination of the article at this time is inappropriate, please postpone it until he is able to contribute directly to the conversation.)

Speedy keep. Nominator is suggesting merging, which is not a deletion. See WP:Merge and delete. Taemyr (talk) 13:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not necessarily suggesting merging, although I would be satisfied with this outcome. I would like a decision about whether the article should be kept at all---hence I said "delete with or without redirect". Google hits seem to suggest that the subject of the article is completely non-notable---from what I understand it's not even been well confirmed that he is actually the protagonist in the movie---and therefore he may be unworthy even of having his info copied to The Final Inch. And if he is truly the protagonist, the meagre amount of information we have about him could be copied to the page about the movie, but that does not necessarily mean that a redirect page should be used. I am indeed asking for opinion about deletion of this page, therefore WP:Merge and delete does not apply. Bueller 007 (talk) 04:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Merge to The Final Inch. There are plenty of references here - enough to verify the article - but not enough to establish notability independent from the film. I think this is basically a WP:BLP1E case, and he would be best covered by being merged into the article on the film. Robofish (talk) 12:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
