For all the links that have been indiscriminately WP:REFBOMBed into this, only the first one is explicitly about the subject, and that page has PR in its name and uses the WordPress-logo as a favicon. All other links are passing mentions, or (seemingly) no mentions at all, so neither WP:GNG nor WP:NJOURNALIST are met, especially since I haven't found anything better myself. Redirection to Asiavision Awards may be sensible, though I should note that the prominently placed mention of "renowned journalist Nissar Syed" was only recently put there by the page creator.

• Delete: I looked through the references and none of them seem to constitute anything resembling WP:SIGCOV.

• 1: This is a press release, and not really a reliable source (even if the page loaded for me, which it did not).
• 2: The most trivial mention possible (article mentions that he was present, and he's in a photo of the event).
• 3: "Announcing details of the 9th edition of Asiavision awards 2014, Nissar Sayed, Managing Diretor, Asiavision Advertising, said Manju Warrier, who has staged a major come back to the Malayalam film industry through 'How Old Are You', has been chosen as best female actress." That's it -- he is quoted very briefly.
• 4: "Nissar Syed, the managing director of Asiavision TV and Movie Awards, who had bestowed her with the Icon of India Award in Dubai in 2015, said the iconic actress exuded a simplicity that was hard to match." A minor quote, again.
• 5: Minor quote.
• 6: Does not mention him at all, anywhere.
• 7: "The programme will be presentated by Nissar Syed, the News Editor of Radio Asia."
• 8: Passing mention.
• I just don't see anything here that demonstrates notability of the guy. jp×g 20:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
