One of two promotional articles created by same SPA (see related AFD). Most of the article content is unsourced and essentially a cut and paste of the subject's Facebook page. Note also that within a day of the wikipedia article creation, it was linked as the subject's website on that Facebook page strengthening the suspicion that this is another instance of COI/paid-editing rampant in this subject area. Other signs of this are the mention of parents' names not listed in any of the sources or (as far as I can see) even the Facebook page, and the publicity shot that is a higher resolution version of the image used on the Facebook page (I have deleted those as copyvio, as no authorship and licensing information has been provided).

None of the listed awards are notable or, at present, verifiable. Ditto for the career section, which reads like an attempt at establishing notability by association. The only independent, reliable source cited is this Hindu article, which is a trend piece about a cappella versions of Vande Mataram going viral (Vande Mataram is India's national song and there are literally thousands of cover versions; cf America the Beautiful). That is insufficient to establish notability under WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. A final example of promotional content and source padding: the claim that the song cover received "good response globally" is supported by a single tweet linking to the song.

  • Delete I reported the article (see related AFD) and due to some doubts about the article i asked about this with SpacemanSpiff. I believe that this is another sockpuppet of JithDominicJose04. Is there any methods to find the IP's used by JithDominicJose04 and Jdmlive be same or not? (Sorry, I am only a Page Patroller, so i don't know about these that's why I'm asking)
