This individual does not seem to be notable at all, with the many references being mostly self published sources or unrelated things (a sky resort high score, really?) Gonnym (talk) 16:24, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no notability here. CT55555 (talk) 17:54, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gonnym,

Hope this message finds you well. Thank you for reviewing the article I composed. Per your comments, I was able to locate a source — regarded as reliable per Wiki — which I re-cited for the following subpages: "early life", "business career". In addition, I removed self-promotional/social content. A majority of that content was derived from https://www.covid19liveupdates.org/about. The remaining citations comprise of sources from The Salt Lake Tribune, The Desert News, Bloomberg (for relations)...Let me know if additional changes should be made. Thank you.

Can you show us WP:THREE good sources please? CT55555 (talk) 18:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I listed The Deseret News (for early life), The Salt Lake Tribune (for education) iPortal Global News (for COVID-19 Live Updates & education), Bloomberg (for Relatives), covid19liveupdates.org/about (for website). I will not edit this page further, however, would it be possible to have this page reverted back to a draft then? Thanks. User314nonymous (talk) 21:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant secondary coverage. Fails WP:GNG fails WP:BIO. Page created by WP:SPA, still unclear as to whether there is an unpaid COI. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:04, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not being directly or indirectly compensated/paid for my edits on this page. User314nonymous (talk) 14:36, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That’s not what I was concerned about. This is the part of the COI policy I am concerned about: You should generally refrain from creating articles about yourself, or anyone you know, unless through the Articles for Creation process. If you have a personal connection to a topic or person, you are advised to refrain from editing those articles directly and to provide full disclosure of the connection if you comment about the article on talk pages or in other discussions. Do you have a personal connection to Zydaan Siddiqi? — rsjaffe 🗣️ 15:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, I came across Zydaan's covid19 site via The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) GIS Open Data and saw the millions of metric/views on his covid19 site and put together references/mentions of him. The Deseret News (for early life), The Salt Lake Tribune (for education) iPortal Global News (for COVID-19 Live Updates & Education), Bloomberg (for Relatives), covid19liveupdates.org/about (for website), etc. User314nonymous (talk) 16:32, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
