Article created by WP:SPA, appears to function as WP:ADVERT and WP:PROMO -- in addition sourcing is quite poor to IMDB, primary sources, etc. Appears to be a film director of some non-notable short films. — Cirt (talk) 17:45, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Cirt hits the nail on the head. Does not meet notability requirements. None of the info in the short bio section is sourced at all. There are 3 imdb and 1 youtube references, which do not meet the WP:RS requirements. The last 3 are invalid links. One of the Statesman links is also no good... and the other is spotty at best. The best citation is the realbollywood reference, and that only mentions him in passing. Onel5969 (talk) 20:34, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Agreed with Onel, Cirt covered everything very well. No assertion of notability at this time, and it doesn't appear that there are any unused sourced that can change that. Sock (tock talk) 14:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:RS and WP:V for a BLP. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 15:06, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It is over two years since the article was created. The lack of any significant coverage in secondary sources before or, especially, since means that the article fails WP:GNG. If SB's career takes off in the future the article can always be restored and updated. MarnetteD|Talk 00:51, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. An up-and-coming director that has yet to satisfy the GNG. Can be recreated later, when more sources exist. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:44, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
