Non-notable reality show winner. WP:SingleEvent. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:16, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

::Two references added in the article, clears issues of notability. [http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/dance-india-dance-lil-masters-season-2-faisal-khan/1/213689.html IndiaToday], [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahome/article-2188480/Auto-rickshaw-driver-s-son-dancing-champ.html DailyMail], [http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-faisal-khan-lifts-up-the-trophy-of-dance-india-dance-lil-master-3645759-NOR.html Divya Bhaskar], [http://post.jagran.com/faisal-khan-wins-dance-india-dance-lil-masters-season-2-title-1344843492 Jagran] and [http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?Section=Movies&ID=254440&subcatg=&keyword=Television&nid=254440 NDTV] are few of many notable National Media who have covered Faisal Khan's victory. Faisal Khan got enough coverage in national media of India, i think he deserves article in WP. By the way, i am not fan of him, i saw his information while surfing Wiki in Faisal Khan's article misplaced there. So i created this article and added refernces so that autoreviewers like you can check for article's notability. Thanks! -- Samkit (Talk/Contributions) 16:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

:The argument being made here is "Page is about reality show winner" is not completely true. If you closely cross - examine news stories which covered him, you will find that he came from a lower middle class and despite of his odd circumstances, he has tremondous dancing skill. This fact makes him notable enough to media and people to have a look at him. -- Samkit (Talk/Contributions) 17:08, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

::I did not know that dancing skills were for privileged elite alone. He being poor is no notable reason either. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:55, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep - Kid won a major competition and has ample editorial coverage, certainly in India and even in the UK ie [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahome/article-2188480/Auto-rickshaw-driver-s-son-dancing-champ.html], passes WP:GNG--Nixie9 (talk) 02:22, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

:::If single event make this article pass notability issue, then it should be okay. -- Samkit (Talk/Contributions) 05:07, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

::::No really! He won. So many newspapers wrote about him. Thats obvious. If an accident happens it is bound to be covered by all types of newspapers. That does not mean its passes WP:GNG. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

::People followed him, journalists covered his story, people outside India read it - all of these happened because he is upcoming dance artist not because he took part in a Reality Show and won there. From my part and view, this is enough for us to have information of him on our open wikipedia. Regards, Samkit (Talk/Contributions) 09:30, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

:::He took part in the show and won it. All reports and press coverage is from then. I could not see any press coverage of his post that time period. And we have the information and hence we can make article is not a valid reason. We know many things about ourselves, our friends, neighbours, etc. We don't make articles on them. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Keep: - Won a major competition and has ample editorial coverage, certainly in India and even in the UK. Therefore passes notablity criterias. (Comment by User:Ret.Prof)

::({{small|Please sign your comments.}}) What editorial coverage? News reports of winnings a show are not considered as editorial even if they are technically edited by editors. His interviews post his win are not considered as wide coverage. If all Keep voters want to keep it, please comment on how notable as a dancer he is, maybe by showing how his dancing is still praised after the competition ended. UK papers covered him is no reason to keep. What might be amusing for British people might not be for other global citizens, especially Indians. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:37, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Dance_India_Dance_Li'l_Masters_2#Top_Ten_Lil_Masters - He has not established notability outside of the one dance competition and I doubt he will establish it anytime soon, considering he is only 13 years old. Although he says he would like to start his own dance academy, that is not confirming it will happen nor confirming that academy will be notable. Not all dance competition winners are notable, regardless sometimes how much attention they receive. SwisterTwister talk 20:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
