Krishnendu das aka Babukishan, an Bangladeshi Indian Bengali musician. Originally posted by User:Krishnendu das so clearly self-promotion. Is he notable? (Ignore the copyvio aspect - I am satisfied it is posted by the original author or with his approval.) -- RHaworth 08:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Is this {{PotentialVanity}} ? Ian Cairns 10:10, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Does this help to show notability? -- RHaworth 19:40, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete: A google search revealed an article in Times of India on the person, but other than that, I found only self promotional material. I'd suggest a delete of the article, unless other proofs of notability have been put forward. --Ragib 02:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete as blatant copyvio from [1] and [2]. utcursch | talk 11:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I said please ignore the copyvio aspect. He has posted this or similar all over the web. It is of course an insult to Wikipedia (which should be introduced as a speedy criterion) to post crude copy and pastes from elsewhere. But first, can we please have a judgement on his notability. -- RHaworth 08:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral, I've never heard of him, but all the same it would be better to ask user:Ragib =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:23, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I've done that already. See Ragib's vote above. Tintin 18:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- aargh... didn't see. Thanks Tintin. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- As I said in my talk page, I haven't heard of him before, but that may be because he is from West Bengal,India. At least in Bangladesh, he is totally unknown/non notable. The Times of India article is the only neutral claim to notability, other than his quite active self-promotion in different websites. Thanks. --Ragib 21:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
