The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎. Please be cautious about making claims of systematic bias because in a situation like an AFD, that is a charge that is being made about your fellow editors depending on how they "voted". You're actually accusing individuals of having a "Western bias". That's true of the project as a whole but shouldn't be used as an accusation against individuals without providing evidence of your claim. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:42, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No other reason of notability except winning a season of Big Boss, a notable reality show. The subject fails WP:ENT and WP:MUSICBIO. Also see MC Stan, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MC Stan, this and this Taabii (talk) 11:14, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete— No GNG-worthy coverage. Mostly covered for wearing expensive jewelry and winning Big Boss.EmilyR34 (talk) 05:45, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom., mainly news sources are due to winning Bigboss (which dosent inherit notability) and fails WP:NACTOR as he didnt have sig. roles in multiple notable films. TheSlumPanda (talk) 09:47, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as has substantial coverage of his music career in three Rolling Stone India articles already referenced in the article. Also news coverage of his winning Big Boss certainly contributes to his notability and is a claim to winning a major competition as per WP:ANYBIO, also passes WP:GNG imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:47, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.Delete. Per nom. Winner of reality show Bigg Boss (although 1E), but enough coverage in multiple Rolling Stone articles and GQ India makes the subject pass WP:NBIO. RangersRus (talk) 16:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm going to be contrarian here for a reason. I recall that we generally keep articles about the winners of 'major' reality shows. Am I wrong? Bearian (talk) 21:57, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't there WP:1E. Guide if I'm wrong. Taabii (talk) 06:12, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The subject is not only a winner of the Bigg Boss event but also an established rapper. When considering WP:ANYBIO, the subject meets the criteria due to their notable achievement of winning the Bigg Boss event. Furthermore, even before their participation in Bigg Boss, they had a career as a rapper, which aligns with the WP:ENT criteria for entertainers. Additionally, the subject has received significant media coverage, including in-depth features by BBC and several Urdu newspapers, which further solidifies their notability.

Redirect to Bigg Boss (Hindi TV series) season 16. The sources for this article are not great to begin with, since many of them fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Still, according to WP:MUSICBIO #10, a redirect is appropriate in this instance.--DesiMoore (talk) 16:21, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Rolling Stone India articles are about his music career and don't fall under NEWSORGINDIA, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:04, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The previous AfD happened before the three Rolling Stone articles were published. If we group all the Rolling Stone coverage as one and add the Bigg Boss title coverage, the subject seems borderline notable. Some sources call him an undeserving winner. Considering this and the fact that Indian media publishes a lot of articles, I wouldn’t argue for a strong keep, but it does pass GNG and there is enough to write a neutral article.

Keep, feels like this AFD is another case of systematic bias given that I've seen winners of many western reality shows keep their pages. He meets WP:GNG and seems like quite a notable figure. Also those deletions are from two years ago, much has changed. jolielover♥talk 02:33, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
