No significant coverage in independent and reliable sources. I don't understand how "challenging the authenticity" of artwork makes anyone notable. Probable case of COI or UPE. M4DU7 (talk) 08:51, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. Google searches bring up quite a few different people with this name, but not this one. No evidence of notability. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:13, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:51, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Google search engine brings up Asif Kamal on all three pages, Founder of Asif Kamal Foundation, Art Connoisseur, social worker, and Indian art promotor, well-established evidence of notability. I have found few articles of his recent contribution to the world using Wikipedia Find Source, you can see them in the article, I have just inserted in the article for your reference. few of them are here below

• Delete. The article provides very little evidence that its subject is notable. Maproom (talk) 20:18, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep There is enough evidence that establish that the subject is notable. This is the 5-year-old page of renowned art collector and connoisseur from India. I suggest should remove his from the category of Emirati business people and add into Indian entrepreneur and Indian art collector

1. An avid art collector and connoisseur, he first started the unique art bank in the world, promote Indian art internationally. 2. runs a foundation for his philanthropy work, his foundation works in the field of healthcare and education in rural India. 3. his art venture is uniquely supporting the artist's community and provide them loan against their art.

• Delete - only one profile of Asif in a not very reliable source [[1]], and the rest is either about challenging the art, about his group Alturaash, or about the Art Fund, none of which are themselves notable based on media coverage. Challenging the authenticity of art doesn't make one notable, never mind the fact that in neither case was there any indication that the works were indeed fake. It's WP:BLP1E, and fails WP:GNG. The keep voter voted twice. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - I can see many page about Asif including this [[2]], and the one you have mentioned, i believe this page need little bit modifications but clearly not suitable for directly deletion. In all the cited profile, links and articles, clearly its not a case of deletion , its easily proving its evidence and notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomkoll (talk • contribs) 22:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tomkoll, if you think it's easy to prove his notability, you should go ahead and do it – by adding to the article some references to reliable independent sources with in-depth discussion of him. Maproom (talk) 14:55, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - as has been pointed out, user:Tomkoll has voted twice, so I've struck out their second vote. Note to closing moderator, their account was created yesterday and, with the exception of a single addition to the article, has made no edits outside of this AfD discussion. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:02, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment -as has been advised by ~dom Kaos~ above , reliable independent source and in-depth discussion on the subject.
