Zoya Tsopei[edit]

[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!

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

Doesn't meet WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, or WP:NMUSIC. No reliable sources added since this was last declined at AfC, and later re-Draftified. A thorough search for sources uncovers no reliable secondary sources - only paid promotions, unreliable blogs, and press releases. Politanvm ^talk 02:38, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Actors and filmmakers, Bands and musicians, and Women. Politanvm ^talk 02:38, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no sources found, a few hits on Bollywood sites. The link used in the article as a source, unsure if it meets RS criteria. Regardless, we don't have enough with which we can build an article. Oaktree b (talk) 02:49, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ for failing WP:GNG. Nothing indicates that she is notable enough to warrant an article. —C.Fred (talk) 03:11, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further observation: Legaltimes, who created the article, also uploaded the infobox image, which was taken at a photo shoot, and they indicated that they took the image. This is strong circumstantial evidence that they have a conflict of interest with Tsopei. The fact that two of the references now cited in the article are dated 15 December—after the AfD started—also adds evidence. —C.Fred (talk) 12:52, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW: Commons CU here: Legaltimes is a confirmed sock of Marlia555786, whose other sock (Zoikolla) had previously created this article. Эlcobbola _talk 14:31, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV has only one reference [[1]] Pranesh Ravikumar (talk) 03:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Based on my comments above about the new sources dated today—which are both bylined to "Tedfuel"—it feels like the new sources are part of a calculated campaign to get an article up for the artist. Wikipedia is not a promotional platform. —C.Fred (talk) 12:58, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The socks seem to confirm that, they usually pop up when someone isn't quite notable. Oaktree b (talk) 14:52, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the new sources added all look suspect to me. Hardakesang looks egregious to me as it openly admits to being a digital marketing site. The entire article looks like paid-for spam. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:40, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per deletion nomination. I note that an editor (likely related) tried to remove the deletion tag off of the article page a few minutes ago as well. Likely is paid-for spam or something to that effect. Carolina2k22 • (talk) • (edits) 02:27, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
keep, I am not linked to the person or article just found it on scrolling. but i think this article have enough links and sources to have wikipedia page. Moreover, we need to find more sources from google and add in this article instead of deletion.
