Advertorialized WP:AUTOBIO of a journalist, referenced entirely to YouTube copies of him doing journalism about other things rather than to reliable source coverage about him. As always, Wikipedia is WP:NOTLINKEDIN -- a journalist is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists, nor to create it himself in defiance of our WP:COI rules. He has to be the subject of coverage written or created by other people, not the creator of his own sources, to get over WP:JOURNALIST, and even if that can be shown the article still has to be written in a neutral and encyclopedic tone rather than as a résumé.

Delete I would add that WP:BALASP and WP:PROPORTION are unmet, as the article focuses on several areas of triviality, including his being "responsible for producing 4 news bulletins a day." and his efforts at managing "a big team and (being) responsible in initiating day to day work from them." This appears to be little more than a WP:RESUME, and there does not appear to be any WP:SIGCOV of the subject beyond the mere recognition of their own WP:TALENT Spintendo 17:34, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
