This is a promotional autobiography, created by the subject and edited by him under two different but similar usernames, Drdbijufilmmaker (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Drdbijukumar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) plus likely sockpuppet WP:SPA Movie Nomads (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). With the exception of trivial fixes, almost all content has been written by the subject. Guy (Help!) 07:14, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

delete per nom, I don't trust that REFBOMB at all - David Gerard (talk) 11:39, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
keep That the piece is autobiographical does not change the fact that the subject is very notable. He is a national award winning director and thus one of the top filmmakers in India today. In such a situation, the issues related to autobiographical nature must be dealt with by removing questionable content rather than deleting the article altogether. -- Raziman T V (talk) 07:50, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have copyvio issues here. Just point out the sections of the article which seem undue or over-autobiographical and remove them. Deleting the whole article about such a notable person and waiting for someone else to come and rewrite it is bad policy -- Raziman T V (talk) 10:04, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The bit after the name and before the References section at the bottom. That's the part written by the subject for promotional purposes. Guy (Help!) 11:30, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
