There are several problems with this autobiography. The first is that it is an autobiography, which is strongly discouraged. The second is that it is promotional, which is one of the reasons why autobiographies are discouraged. The third is that it currently has no footnotes. That could be corrected, and it would still be a promotional autobiography. The fourth is that a Google search shows that the subject exists and uses social media and is an effective self-promoter, but that there is no third-party coverage.

This title has already been deleted as G12 copyvio once and draftified once, but has been moved back into article space. It is time to delete it and salt it, so that future re-creations with name gaming can be deleted as G4. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:09, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete — Subject of article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of subject. Celestina007 16:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: per nom and possibly salt. FWIW, the accounts involved in creating this do not seem to heed any advice either. Eagleash (talk) 19:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jeancharleszakaria. This is an autobiography of and by a sockpuppeteer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert McClenon (talk • contribs) 11 August 2020 22:36 (UTC)
• Delete: Lack of independant significant coverage. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:26, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Another sockpuppet of the creator tried to make another draft at User:Bhage06/sandbox, that account has since been blocked and the draft redirected to Jean Charles Zakaria. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 20:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and, since there is attempted re-creation (or a queue for it), plus sockpuppetry, salt it. The nominator expresses the rationale perfectly. Fiddle Faddle 20:36, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: For all the reasons given above, plus I'd think about going further than just salting and adding any variations of "Jean Charles Zakaria", "Jean Zakaria", and "JC Zakaria" to the title blacklist. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 21:31, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
