Article on a "Social Media Star & Entrepreneur" referenced to his own website and spammy PR blogs; see for example [1] we align the next generation of creatives with the right mentors and connections to succeed, [2] His passion for helping people in all aspects of online marketing flows through in the expert industry coverage he provides. Could not find any better sources through WP:BEFORE. Article claims "millions" of followers but he has an unimpressive 70k followers on Instagram and only 68(!) on twitter. Possibly an A7 candidate but since there are "sources" here and a (bogus) claim of significance I thought I would bring it to AFD... SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 09:36, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How can we improve this Wiki without deleting it? I have gone ahead and updated a lot of the information, what else can be done in order to make this a good article? Please help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnson28.7 (talk • contribs) 10:43, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From my research, it seems to be that he runs some of his client's accounts, which adds on to his "millions of followers" As I looked through his Instagram page there are huge influencers commenting on his posts. So he is definitely connected in the social media world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnson28.7 (talk • contribs) 10:46, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No sources to establish notability. GirthSummit _(blether) 10:49, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. I can't find any coverage of Pharaoic or Marko Danial in reliable sources to show how he meets WP:BIO. Capewearer (talk) 13:34, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is straight up PR spam about a non-notable individual utilizing blackhat SEO fake sources. Praxidicae (talk) 16:24, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing more than a PR article and borders on WP:G11 territory in terms of promotion. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:17, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Definitely a WP:PROMOTIONAL article, and doubtful whether the subject meets general notability criteria. Patiodweller (talk) 22:09, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think overall there is a good amount of coverage for Pharaoic. Could use a few more sources. But I believe it should be enough for now. The language in the article could be fixed a little better, to fit in with wikipedia's theme.

Delete per nom. I don't see anything approaching notability as Wikipedia defines it. I strongly suspect the OP to have a COI issue here, either an agent or a friend. [Update]: OP added new image, taken by the subject himself. Definitely COI. OP may be even the subject himself under a disguised name. -- Alexf^(talk) 10:46, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I used the image from the subject's site, under creative commons. As I stated before, I am a fan of the subject, but have no relationship with him. Thanks, (talk)
