Unreferenced autobiography article. —AssassiN's Creed^(talk) 18:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Where to start? Is there any evidence that User:Ravisiwal is Pradeep Baliyan or sufficiently related to justify the claim that this is an "autobiography"? And neither "unreferenced" nor "autobiography" is sufficient ground for bringing an article to AfD. And further, once again this nominator has brought an article to AfD within hours of its creation. Once again, I commend WP:BEFORE to this nominator, as something to read, understand and act upon. AllyD (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article indicates that the subject is a former member of a legislative assembly; a reference has now been added to support this (from the first page on a Google search - WP:BEFORE again); thus the subject meets WP:POLITICIAN. AllyD (talk) 21:48, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article indicates the notability and (now) has a supporting reference. There is no evidence that it is an autobiography - I wonder if the nominator, whose first language is not English, understands the distinction between autobiography and biography in general. Even if it were an autobiography, for a one-sentence substub statement of fact, it really would not matter in the least. LadyofShalott 22:43, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
