Talal Malik (radio presenter)[edit]

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

The sole reference given here is an interview. I did a google search on "Talal Malik" in the news, and got three pages of hits... None of them discuss this Talal Malik. There are no interlanguage links anywhere, in Arabic or otherwise. If he is notable, I sure can't verify it, but if he is, then this article should probably be moved over to just "Talal Malik" and away from the radio presenter bit.

Delete. Radio presenters are not handed an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist, but this is not referenced anywhere near well enough to get him over WP:GNG for it — the sole footnoted reference here is a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself, which is a type of source that we can use for supplementary verification of stray facts after GNG has already been covered off by stronger sources but not a source that brings the GNG in and of itself.
