Delete. This page is look like a 'personal branded' web portfolio. This page should be quickly remove from Wiki, already some of Bangladeshi Newspaper publish news on this page. Funny!--Aashaa (talk) 17:11, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Aside from the horrible English in the article, almost none of the sources are reliable. In the best interest of Wikipedia, ~Ngeaup (talk) 17:45, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. All the news sources used in the article are unreliable and probably paid/affliated news. Such associated sources preventing the article from being verifiable and neutral. Also the news link provided by Ibrahim Husain proves that the Ittefaq (the only considerable and reliable source) has close association with the subject and because of this, we can't consider the source as reliable. Hence I am suggesting deletion of the article. - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 18:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – No doubt about here; this person is a media personality's of Bangladesh. Working with Radio Today since 2010 as a Radio Jockey. Beside his radio jockey career he is also a writer and actor. But nom. said that No significant works what so ever and Advertisement type. So, article not actually advertisement based; just following the wiki rule. Including 14 different newspaper link reference; not only Ittefaq. — Masum Ibn Musa ^Conversation 08:17, 21 January 2015 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Masum Ibn Musa (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

~~Delete~~-Musa may you search my name at Google, you could get 100+ newspaper links on me (Prothom Alo, Daily Star, Kaler Kantho is there!), and also find news of ATN News, Maasranga, Jamuna Television about me! I would request you just create a new article on me! You also find me at IMDB!--Aashaa (talk) 11:05, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ – Dear Aashaa; you are not Important or popular person at all. — Masum Ibn Musa ^Conversation 12:58, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Thats the thing, neither Aashaa nor Salman is important or popular person at all. How can we measure popularity of Salman? What have he done for society or any particular field? Is he a media personality? He wrote two mediocre books (probably self published) and acted side role in two dramas. So whats make him notable? Did anyone knows how many FM radio in Bangladesh? Its 13 radio channels. So how many rjs are working over four years at the radio? Is it make him notable?? According to wiki policy, he is not notable. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 13:59, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Rj salman is notable among radio jocky's in bangladesh. Ferdous (talk) 17:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Ferdous: That's not a way for reaching a consensus. Deletion discussion is not a vote or polling. Explain your point with logic. Why the subject is notable among the other RJs? Or why other RJs are not notable? - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 19:23, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment His official Facebook fan page already had gotten 151,952 liked and also verified from the Facebook authority. Don't you know Mr. Rahat who are verified from the Facebook authority? This is the biggest verified fan page in the radio industry of Bangladesh. He got Best RJ award from Bangladesh Cultural Academy in the year 2012 and in the year 2013 by the survey of Neilson Bangladeh (an international rating company). He is also The managing director of Campus Radio Bangladesh. Isn't it notable? — Masum Ibn Musa ^Conversation 07:21, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - No matters how many likes he got. Facebook even verifies less-notable persons. Facebook verified the page of Rashel Kabir, keyboardist of Shironamhin. His Facebook page has only 2,700 likes. I can't even find any news article about him in Google search. Facebook has also verified some nonsense pages of dog and other animals. I have tried hard to find some independent sources (The ittefaq article is not independent at all) to add citation for his Neilson award achievement, but failed to find any. I also failed to find any information about the award from the cultural academy. The only thing we have is the affliated promo interview of Ittefaq. I will change my vote to keep if you can provide some reliable source other than the Ittefaq article so that we can verify his awards.- Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 08:09, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-Musa, a lot of new thoughts may be we wikipedians learn from you. Hasive Bhai is much more famous then RJ Salman, Facebook Celebrity Arif R Hossain, Sedative Hyptonics have to be article at Wikipedia. Kudos to Musa!--Aashaa (talk) 14:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The issue at hand here is not popularity or fame, it is the very strict concept of notability as defined at Wikipedia. Wikipedia requires that the subject of an article has been the subject of multiple instances of significant coverage in independent media, so that we have unbiased source material from which to build the Wikipedia article. In the absence of such source material, the subject's popularity is irrelevant. If we have no material from which to build an article, then we cannot have the article.

Delete. Per nom. No significant coverage, does not pass GNG nor ENT. I'm not sure why are we still discussing this. I want my Wikipedia article, GIMME GIMME GIMME wa wa. – nafSadh did say 23:18, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with the others advocating delete. In addition, I need to point out that disc jockeys or radio jockeys are almost never considered notable just for their work, unless they become nationally or internationally famous. We have deleted many articles of local or even regionally known DJs. Bearian (talk) 12:31, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
