Strong Delete most references are not-reliable sources. Almost all titles have been doctored to sound like they are news articles about the subject when they are either about someone else (ie: the one titled "Rafique Sayed captured actress Shefali Shah on Vogue India" is actually "Shefali Shah on whether playing real-life characters limits or frees an actor’s creativity" and the only hit for Sayed is a credit for a single photo) or misrepresenting a non-rs source (ie:"Rafique Sayed article on Pixel Village" is actually just his own self-published Pixel Village profile). A draft of this article has already been rejected 3 times this month at Draft:Rafique Sayed. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:01, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updated the article with strong sources. The person is already notable.

The sources are not "strong"-that is why the draft was rejected 3 times already. You are still misrepresenting references by changing the title names to make it sound like they are news articles about Sayed, when they are actually about different people with at best a quick passing mention of Sayed and sometimes just a photo credit.

Comment - The draft was not rejected three times. It was declined three times, and has now been declined four times. If this article is kept, the draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, the draft should be kept. Not commenting yet on whether to keep the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
