Ok let me recheck all the references again. I will solve the issue in a while Thanks for notifying. I am sorry for this inconvenience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candicell (talk • contribs) 15:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC) I have checked the links. All links are working. If you read the linked articles you will find reference of Karan Rao. But i will add more citations to make it more acceptable. Thank you for notifying — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candicell (talk • contribs) 15:10, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Thank you for attempting to address the article. Please familiarize yourself with WP:RS as it will help you to identify the type of sources that will establish notability. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 15:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Thank you for referring me to WP:RS. I will add more notable sources in a while. Thanks (Candicell (talk) 15:40, 18 April 2013 (UTC))[reply]
Comment - I have added 5-6 new references (Candicell (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC)). Let me know if you need more. Thank you.[reply]

Now i have added 5-6 new references. And now you can clearly find out that he is a known model of India and turned to executive producer of film Station. Let me know if still they are not enough and i have to add more. Thanks (Candicell (talk) 01:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)) And also i have checked all the links all are working. Please give them some time to open. (Candicell (talk) 12:40, 19 April 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Comment - He is a known model of Bangalore India, I have already spent time and added more references. I will edit the article further. Thanks for notifying. Dr Adil (talk) 21:02, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think there is value in this entry and I will do some work to try and improve the references to demonstrate notability. G2003 (talk) 14:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Yeah i have added few more references too. Dr Adil (talk) 14:57, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment About Sources - Adding more sources is not what is needed. It is about quality, not quantity. Sources need to be WP:RS which I am still not seeing. This article is similar to the others you recently created and ultimately are amounting to spam. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 17:31, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: All references are good and well sourced. and tell explain his role and repputation Dr Adil (talk) 02:52, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Stock photograph sites, references to nothing (e.g., the top-level of a website), Wikipedia articles, trivial or non-significant coverage. The author has had plenty of time to assert that the subject meets WP:ANYBIO at least, but they have not. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 03:51, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree: - I hope someone from Wiki admins will see the issue in detail and impartially. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candicell (talk • contribs) 06:33, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The main reference appears to be a Times Of India article which is of good quality, I'm currently doing a further search to see if any similar references can be identified in publications from India.G2003 (talk) 08:39, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. This seems like just another one of the many worthless biographies created by Candicell/DrAdil (same user) which have also already been deleted or are currently nominated for deletion. The article on this subject, like all of the others, does not meet WP:Notability (people) nor do the given sources even discuss the subject in many cases. I checked what I could find about this Karan Rao person and it's the same as all the other articles, as are the user's constant attempts to "rush the ballot" so to speak with constant comments headed with asterisks as though the discussion is somehow resolved by repeating the same thing over and over. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment.All sources are added because they are relevant to the subject. If one source is added to another article that is relevant to that article too. I have the right to response to such comments and i believe that this is not wrong if i reply to the comments of other editor and try to explain. Now i hope wiki admins will also take notice of clearly biased comments due to some personal disliking for the page creater, while making a decision. .

Comment - As stated previously, it is not about "quantity", but rather "quality." I can provide you with a bunch of sources from database listings, press releases, social media, etc.' however, NONE of them would be reliable according to Wikipedia. You need to focus on WP:RS as opposed to your own opinion about what is reliable. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 14:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have added more references DAR (talk) 23:56, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
COMMENT about Sources - I am sorry, but I feel like I am hitting my head against a wall. This will be the last time I comment here as I feel like I am wasting my time. Again.......it is not about "more." Wikipedia needs "quality" sources, not a "quantity" of sources. As with the other articles, you are adding many sources believe that by piling them on they will somehow make the article notable. This is far from the case. There are many great articles on Wikipedia with fewer sources than you have as the sources used in those articles are WP:RS and are more than just passing mentions or directories. I will be glad to change my nomination if you are able to supply more reliable sources, not just "more" sources. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 12:09, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
