Jai Prakash (singer)[edit]

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

WP:BLP of a musician and film director, which makes no actual claim of notability that would pass our inclusion standards for either musicians or film directors -- as written, this just states that he exists and sources the fact only to IMDb, another IMDb-like directory of films and discogs.com. None of these are reliable or notability-conferring sources, but there's no evidence of reliable source coverage about him in media being shown at all. In reality, I would ordinarily have speedied this — it's that bad — but this is the third recreation after it's already been speedied twice before, so escalating it to AFD was necessary and I think so's a dose of WP:SALT.

Strong delete and salt per nomination. Bearcat I appreciate if you can compare this with previously deleted article Jai Prakash (musician), Jai Prakash Music and JaiPrakash to see any similarities before I go with the SPI at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jai Prakash Music.

Well, it's not identical in form to any of those, but then again they're not identical in form to each other either. The substance of the article is the same, however — it's still claiming primary sourced "notability just because he exists", rather than actually making a firm or reliably sourced notability claim — so I'd go ahead with listing the creator for sockcheck.

Thank you for the check, I just found they also tried to hijack Jai Prakash too. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:05, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since I note that you haven't done so yet, I've gone ahead and listed the creator (and the two SPA usernames involved in the prior speedies here) for sockcheck. Bearcat (talk) 17:35, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, actually I was looking into another SPI and was busy in comparing similarities and differences. Thank you for saving my time. GSS (talk|c|em) 18:03, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
