Jaimin Bal

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

Non-notable filmmaker with an article that is "sourced" only to his own personal page; promotional intent by COI editor (who appears to be the subject of the article) is clear. None of his listed film projects have been released (WP:CRYSTAL); notability is not inherited from being assistant director under bluelinked directors. gHits appear to be only social media and Wikimirrors; zero gNews hits; no relevant gBooks hits. WP:TOOSOON at best. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:22, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find any evidence that this is a notable person. All of the sources in the article are clearly dependent on the subject. I searched for the person's name on Google, and the first 50 results are all either dependent on the subject (e.g. the the subject's personal Facebook and Google Plus user pages) or unrelated to the subject (e.g. pages about other people called Jaimin).

Also, since the article doesn't have an AfD template, I missed this discussion at first and thus corrected the title of the article. The article is now listed under the title Jaimin Bal. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An IP has been repeatedly removing the AfD template. The article may need to be semiprotected. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the AfD template and semi-protected the article, will continue to monitor. Giant Snowman 11:00, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I likewise can find zero mention of this person apart from their own postings on the internet. None of the alleged movies have been released. And no independent evidence of him having worked as an assistant director to either of the named individuals, although even if there were, it doesn't confer notability. I am beginning to wonder how much of this article is fantasy. I can find nothing on his parents although the article claims that his mother, Namita Bal, is "well-known politician", and his father, Swami Dibyananda Saraswati (speedy deleted) is "a successful business personality of Orissa and also a prominent philosopher of India." (Note also the contents of User:Swami dibyananda saraswati). Likewise, I can find no evidence of a company called (rather grandly) the Jaimin Bal Group, of which he is allegedly the chairman. He also claims to work as an adviser to the Self Realisation Mission in Orissa, which his father supposedly founded. The Mission appears to be an orphanage/adoption agency which had so little money in 2008 that another Indian charity provided them with a computer, baby clothes, food, etc. and had to teach them basic childcare.

Delete in the absence of independent reliable sources. Gamaliel (talk) 00:22, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looked at the article to begin with and saw several reference links. Ran WP:REFLINKS over it to generate titles and to unify the duplicate references as appropriate. Shocked to discover that there's only 2 distinct references. Both pointing at what appear to be WP:SELFREF class references. Looking back in the history, we see a article spring into existance with a COI template from 2011 on January 13th of this year. This tells me that the author simply won't accept their own COI and therefore this article must be SALT-ed. Hasteur (talk) 18:27, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The charitable thought is a lack of knowledge that you could have multiple cites going to the same refernece. The less charitable thought is an attempt at WP:BOMBARDMENT. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:40, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the article creator attempted to remove the AfD template, and also cut-and-pasted the article contents to Jaimin bal wikipedia article which has been tagged for A10. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 11:55, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy DeleteThis article was created for self-promotion and self-publicity. Notability not observed. Poor references. Strongly recommend for deletion of this page. Jussychoulex (talk) 17:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
