winning some poem competitions doesn't makes anyone eligible for having an article on wp, only having one or two RS does'nt allows the person to be considered as notable, Other Experienced editors must discuss about this page !! Suryabeej (talk) 11:32, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment- I had AFD'ed the page after finding it had been AFD'ed 3-4 times and lacks sufficient refs, as the page wasn't refered properly, I now searched in depth and found few more wp:rs which I feel MIGHT allow him to pass GNG weakly thus I am withdrawing this AFD, I don't have objection if any other editor feels like afding it, but I feel it soft-passes the GNG criteria. Sorry My bad. Suryabeej ⋠talk⋡ 07:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- Well the new source you added is a copy of this source and you added this source which is written by same author who wrote most of his articles. And this is a contributor post. Don't know WHO or WHAT changed your mind and I feel something is wrong here. Regards. JAHANZAIBARIF 08:38, Sunday, December 29, 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: @Suryabeej: Note that I have removed your G6 tag (Special:Diff/1023103986) since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prakash Neupane (3rd nomination) was closed eight months before the creation of this current iteration of the article. G4 is unlikely to apply here too per Special:Diff/875340755. However, this AfD discussion can continue. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 11:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: He's basically a musician not only a poet. All the news sources which are provided in the article are RS. [1] He has won awards and have released three musical album and has done musical tour which is enough to be here.[2][3][4] [5][6] and the article in wikipedia is since 2018 And a there's a questionable mark with your account as you put AFD first than again you did CSD and you were questioning with administrator about why article is live here. Owlf (talk) 12:54, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- well forcing to proof someone non notable as notable doesn't work over here and since you seem to have some special care for the subject ;), I would like to enlighten you with the fact that among all the rubbish links provided above just [7] this one is Okeish, Rest all are the Puff pieces (Clearly paid one including the Zee and Asianet without any byline everyone here on wikipedia knows it clear well that how Indian media can provide puff pieces so you can't force to show the subject as Notable because it clearly fails wp:musicbio and wp:rs both.Suryabeej (talk) 17:46, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Also I Afded the article because I found it utter promotional and full of non reliable rubbish paid publication links, and when I saw it has been deleted again and again for 4 times and despite of that you recreated it I had to ask the admin what made it stay despite of all these :

Delete and Salt: after 4 discussions this page was recreated by Owlf which I suspect is a case of wp:COI, rest all the provided sources are either from Non-Notable publications and or are paid pieces without bylines, which makes them Wikipedia:Wikipuffery. also I am Pinging all the active editors who voted from previous all the 4 discussions so that they can lead to a clear conclusion.

- I think you're going Crazy here, the article was created via draft and according to COI I'm Nepali wikipedin so I've created many nepali musicians wikipedia and u created this one too and another thing is you can't vote for two times as you filed WP:AFD Abc News Nepal, Taha Khabar, Meroflim and other Nepali press are national media of Nepal which are reliable and pass WP:RS and aren't puffery. Being written in Nepali news sources it cannot be called as puffery and you're just registered here being iactive for few days and direct jump here in the article which I've created in wikipedia with lots of the article background resources which i had also never known made me amazed.

- Weak keep Or weak delete. It appears the subject has finally passed the notability threshold. The UPE is strong with this one, but competent too it seems, going by the sources that don't read right but, impressively, exist. Also impressive that this seemingly mundane subject seems to have attracted abusive editing on the delete side. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a UPE farm out there, that didn't get paid. Since, unfortunately, there is no community consensus on deleting UPE-tainted articles because they are UPE-tainted, I suggest we keep and try and regulate the addition of unsourced and weakly sourced puffery instead. Obviously, I have no objection to deleting it and salting, until an independent looking version is submitted to AFC, if that would be less taxing on the spam-fighters. Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 05:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- PS. I wouldn't mind speedy keep and speedy blocking of nom and their sock either. Usedtobecool ☎️ 05:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. Firstly, I want to ask why the creating user Owlf was blocked while s/he was actively taking part in discussion? How was the blocking administrator sure? I feel it is a kind of harassment to the user. While looking at the log of this user's contribution, it appears he has been making most of the edits on Nepalese actor/actress/musicians since long. Whether it was his hobby or he was being paid can only be judged but not proved. Secondly, regarding the article- its a usual case that Nepalese artists are rarely a topic of notable news or scholarly articles. Fortunately, current online media are providing some indication of their notability via some coverage. In this particular case of Prakash Neupane, the coverage in an Indian media 1 and some nepali music realted magazines are available, so it could indicate a soft keep. And i totally agree with Usedtobecool on why this subject is attacting abusive editing - is it the case of multiple paid editors? Regards! nirmal (talk) 10:06, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- The answer to your question is here read it properly and you will come to know why was he blocked. Rest in talking about This Zee News From India ts purely a paid Article because it clearly lacks its source or say The Byline and although the JAHANZAIBARIF which seems like an SPA but have stated a very correct detailing about its source by Praxidicae over here. Suryabeej (talk) 10:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- - Thanks for mentioning. I already went through the items you mentioned before commenting here. And basically that was the main reason for my concern. This report is unclear, and blocking seems to be done hapazardly. Given that the user had been editing music/actor related articles since last few years, it becomes a suspcet that suddenly the account became compromized while editing this article. I have doubt. Plus, regarding this source discussion, it is also my concern. The sources should have been discussed/reopened by the Nominator in the talk page first before this CSD. Regards! nirmal (talk) 11:41, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- No, it was not the complete history. Just the latest disruptive editing spree. Check their contributions. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 11:46, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Its sad that users are getting on fruitless disputes instead of using their energy for constructive edits. nirmal (talk) 01:41, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- Note: I originally closed this discussion due to the sockpuppet investigation of the nominator...turns out they're not a sockpuppet even though from my perspective they looked like one. My bad! Reopened. versacespaceleave a message! 16:17, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- How you closed this nomination on behalf of a sockpuppet case archieve which is not even relevant ?? Like just curious to know what made you think like that?Suryabeej (talk) 16:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Keep it would appear that with winning an award, his songs may also be getting radio airplay which means he meets WP:MUSICBIO. Lesliechin1 (talk) 22:21, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - This version appears to be no better than all the previous iterations. Fails WP:GNG . Please salt to prevent yet another re-incarnation. Velella Velella Talk 07:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- So you mean you're still comparing it to previous verison? when it was re-created via Draft. Do you think Nepali news doesn't meet WP:RS ? Owlf (talk)
|
- Delete I have been adamant about this through every iteration. Neupane is not notable, despite what many here claim and I pointed out extensively why on the talk page and past discussions regarding this very topic. Almost everything is written by the same author, even after having removed the content I mentioned on the talk page, the rest are either based on that paid for content or unreliable. For example, the best source is by the Hindu, which is copied from this source and was published a full 4 hours before appearing on their website. this is nothing more than elaborate marketing ploy by a long term spammer. YODADICAE👽 12:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Praxidicae: well I'm amazed how did you find 4 hours of gap time when there'sthis source not mention of time and anything at all and why would an editor[10] copies the same URL/title & pictures. That sites grab articles from other sites automatically which can be known by the pictures used on both sites and as far as I know The Hindu article is completely written by an editor which Wikipedia can verify through the sources and yeah I agree on some unreliable sources which didn't meet WP:RS were there but they were completely removed by and editor before while creating the article through Draft and some sources have vanished from the internet may be internet archiver could achieve that. Owlf (talk) 13:13, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Because you can view it under "view source" and you've totally missed my point. YODADICAE👽 13:16, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Well sometimes time varies might be you are wrong take a deep look as there it had mentioned in view source "The Hindu" as OG photo source and also has tagged "The Hindu" ['img data-variant="FREE" data-device-variant="" src=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/taeus0/article31748951.ece/BINARY/thumbnail/prakashneupane2" Owlf (talk) 14:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Even if I am completely wrong about the copy, my point still stands that the only "decent" source is the Hindu and that simply isn't enough. YODADICAE👽 14:05, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- That might be enough for you but being a Nepali source that exists also do follow WP:RS that's the thing which I want to mention here. If you feel mainstream Nepali media sources are useless then i don't have any point to explain. Owlf (talk) 14:13, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nepali sources don't get a special pass of WP:V or WP:RS just by virtue of being Nepali. The rest are simply unreliable PR nonsense. YODADICAE👽 14:20, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

" Young singer Prakash Neupane's new album has been released on Fusion Digital Store. Prakash's new album has also been released on iTunes Store, Google Play, Amazon and Spotify. Click here to listen to Prakash's song on iTunes.Click here to listen to Prakash's song on Spotify.His songs are in rap and hip hop genres. He has also sung against Nepali social and political distortions and anomalies.As the use of CDs, VCDs or cassettes has disappeared in Nepal as well, the practice of releasing albums in digital stores has started commercially. Apart from that, songs and videos are also released through platforms like YouTube and Facebook.Prakash's new album Fusion has 7 songs. This is her second album after singing more than a dozen songs so far. Prior to this, in 2016, his album titled Prakash Tunes was released.His songs have been viewed nearly 2 million times on YouTube alone, while the song You Got Me has been viewed more than 1 million times. The songs of 21-year-old singer Prakash, who started singing at the age of 16, are very popular among the Nepali youth. Videos of his 9 songs have also been made public. To know more about Prakash and listen to all his songs, visit his website. "
That conveys absolutely no notability. I would add the first source but it is no better. These are commercial plugs, nothing more.
