Procedural AfD. I've declined both a WP:A7 request on this (there's an obvious CCS) and a WP:G11 request (I don't consider it unambiguous spam). However, the subject is of very marginal notability despite the world records, and there's a legitimate argument that in these circumstances we should default to not covering a subject in the case of BLPs. Procedural nomination so I abstain.  ‑ Iridescent 04:26, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Jhohan has a very distinct identity of himself not just because of his World Records but for his determination towards the sport- Freestyle Football. People of Bangladesh really look up to him as he is the first teenager from Bangladesh to make it to the Guinness Book of World Records. Jhohanfreestyle (talk) 09:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep - He has a huge popularity in Bangladesh because of the scene he has created for Bangladesh Freestyle Football. He has also performed in an UN event as the first Bengali Freestyler. I understand he doesn't have much notability in a global scale as Freestyle Football is still a growing platform and on top of that it is very much underrated in a country like Bangladesh. Despite that, he has managed to become the first self-taught football freestyler of Bangladesh which not only helped people to know about this sport but also get motivated to start training Freestyle Football like him. For this reason, I believe this article should be kept so that people can know more about who has created the freestyle football a thing in Bangladesh from Wikipedia. 103.200.92.252 (talk) 09:37, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep- He's a Guinness record holder. Actually he has four records. He has pretty good coverage in media too which prove his popularity and enough to make him notable. The article is very well made. I don’t find any specific reason to delete. Diptadg17 (talk) 09:41, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Being a Guinness World Record holder doesn't entitle anyone to a Wikipedia article. It needs to be shown that there is significant coverage of them in independent, reliable sources, as required by WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:11, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep - He has a significant news coverage in Bangladesh which proves the notability of his identity and his achievements. Therefore, he definitely passes the WP:GNG and for that this article should be kept.

Keep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR6qJTnC49U - check this report on Arafat Rudro an emerging freestyler from Bangladesh who also broke a Guinness World Record, where he states Ashraful Islam Jhohan has inspired him from the scratch to pursue this line of sport and without him it wouldn't be possible. 103.200.92.252 (talk) 10:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)— 103.200.92.252 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - he has his news covered by large presses starting from prothom alo (click here) to dhaka tribune (click here) which passes WP:GNG which proves he has a huge notability in Bangladesh and this page should be kept. Jhohanfreestyle (talk) 11:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

• Delete no evidence that they pass WP:GNG. Having Guiness World Records does not confer automatic notability, and so far as I can see, there isn't significant, independent coverage to pass GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

• Comment the subject has appealed on a Telegram group for Indian/Bangladeshi wannabees, quote "Any Wikipedia writers here?", "My page has been proposed for deletion and it would really kind of you if you could give a KEEP vote in the deletion page of my page with a reason.." source: 2
