Hamza Yaqoob Malik or HYM is an artist who has just launched a cover song as a debut. Once he starts doing more work there will be more details available. I would like to request to please cancel its deletion nomination as it will be updated on regular basis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FarihaPervezFan (talk • contribs) 13:44, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:Looks like a very nicely written article to me with proper sources in it to establish notability, should be kept. Why delete it?Sajjad Altaf (talk) 19:26, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sajjad Altaf As I explained in the nomination it fails the basic notability criteria for a biography that requires "multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" for a subject to be considered notable. Now all the three sources in the article are primary and unreliable, thus failing each and every bit of this criteria. -- SMS ^Talk 19:40, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~: I think we should still give it some time and give it a second thought. Moreover I see a couple of different sources there.Sajjad Altaf (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
