I can't find sourcing for this person, the sources used appear typical celebrity fluff pieces using Gtranslate. Not meeting GNG, likely PROMO. Oaktree b (talk) 04:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Keep : Nominator says, he can't finding sourcing for the subject and he says the sources are fluff pieces using gtranslate ? and says doesn't meet GNG. Here are the reasons why its wrong and the article should be kept.

Reply to each section : 

"Can find sources" - There are around 6 unique big length article all from reliable and independent secondary news sources all from reliable and reputed newspapers and magazines like International Business Times, Malayala Manorama, Vanitha, Onmanorama, Mathrubhumi etc talking about the subject. So it's irrelevant to tell that "can't find sources".

"Sources are not fluff pieces with and without using gtranslate" - There are 3 english news articles all detailed articles and secondary news sources, one from International Business Times and two from Onmanorama which doesn't need any Gtranslate and 3 other Malayalam detailed article secondary sources from Malayala Manorama, Vanitha and Mathrubhumi, all written by journalists as listed in these article and this detailed articles are no way fluff pieces.

"Meets GNG" - The International Business Times article https://www.ibtimes.co.in/kerala-showing-hesitance-accept-lgbt-community-says-top-makeup-artist-840767 is a detailed featured secondary news article about the subject , talking only about him in detail, similar is the case with 2 Onmanorama articles and additionally there are 3 very detailed and featured article secondary sources from Malayala Manorama, Vanitha and Mathrubhumi which makes the article pass GNG .

"Not PROMO" - The news references listed from International Business Times is written by journalist named Nirmal Narayanan . 2 Onmanorama articles are written by journalists Anagha Jayan E and Padmakumar K respectively. The Malayala Manorama article is written by journalist Deepthi Pellishery, The Mathrubhumi article is a special feature . Which proves that this is definetly not promo.

  The International Business Times is not a reliable source; a special feature implies paid promotion in a newspaper. [1] Oaktree b (talk) 14:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, I can't find mention of the person in "reliable sources". Oaktree b (talk) 14:39, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delete: known for his viral photoshoots, celebrity makeup work for many South Indian celebrities. This is a promo piece and none of the sources are reliable. What is the claim of notability here? The subject becoming one among the many makeup artists and hairstylists of celebrities? This don't even pass WP:BASIC. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:GNG. 111.92.78.199 (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
