Page was created by a now banned sockpuppet, and the previous AfD [1] was swayed to no consensus entirely by related and now banned sockpuppets [2] This appears to be a non notable bio of a PR adviser. Sourcing fails WP:ANYBIO or WP:JOURNALIST, despite having written a few articles. Also fails WP:GNG as most sources are neither independent nor secondary. The subject is not notable.

deleteStill lacks WP:GNG no new coverage since the last discussion which per the nom was swayed.Expressive101 (talk) 18:20, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Account issues aside, the subject of this page appears notable and meets WP:GNG. There have been a number of changes since the first AfD, including the piece in the New Statesman, which is particularly strong. That, along with The i, PR Week, Spear’s articles would definitely push this into WP:GNG territory for a WP:BLP.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. To meet GNG, the subject must have significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent secondary sources. If the New Statesman is "particularly strong" we are not there yet. The New Statesman article is about Steve Barclay, but it quotes Emirali, who it has to introduce. The sum of the information about Emirali is:

  Emirali, who is now a PR consultant and has previously stood as a Conservative council candidate, was asked during the interview if “part-privatisation” could help the NHS in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

  That is not significant coverage. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:51, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The whole article is based on what Emirali said. It wouldn’t have existed if he didn’t say it. It’s in an independent and reputable source. I fear you may have political prejudices impacting your judgement. Muhammad Musaiyab (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Interviews are not independent. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:01, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  This article was not an interview. An interview he gave made a separate news story in a publication independent of the original. Muhammad Musaiyab (talk) 19:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The whole article is based on what Emirali said. That is, an interview. I have quoted the part of the article that is independent. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:09, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:INTERVIEW might be helpful. ✶Mitch199811✶ 19:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you for mentioning WP:INTERVIEW. While interviews are important, a combination of sources, including the New Statesman article, meets the notability criteria for the subject as outlined in WP:GNG. Muhammad Musaiyab (talk) 02:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @RRezu Could you please elaborate otherwise this is a !vote. ✶Mitch199811✶ 20:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, I have identified thirteen sources. PRweek, used three times, seems to not contribute to GNG. It looks like it is purely made as a PR boost. Spears500 seems too promotional and the whole site also looks promotional like PRweek. iNews is a primary source. Telegraph and CityAM are his author pages. The Times was written by him. GrowthBusiness is an interview. Im guessing by the titles and the names of the websites that the other six sources probably also fail at adding to GNG. ✶Mitch199811✶ 18:50, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
