The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it. |
Closer interpreted the debate incorrectly. Consensus was for the Article NOT to remain 'as is'. Attempts to carry out the spirit of the consensus (and, what I believe what the closer ment), have met with reversion. A attempt to discuss was instantly met with 'Take it to DRV'?!? so here we are.

Diary of a Bad Man
Article was deleted several months ago for failing to establish notability from a credible source. This article is about several webisodes which have attracted millions of views in a short time period, attracting the attention of BBC News in July 2011 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14222093). Also, various radio interviews including a comedy tour. Therefore, I think this article should be reviewed. Opinions welcome. 82.46.152.122 (talk) 16:48, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- the bbc used the headline "Muslim comedian Humza Arshad becomes internet sensation" ; the article claims 2 million views per episode and 73,000 subscribers . I'd wait at least for a 2nd RS. DGG ( talk ) 17:06, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- Here's what I could find [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], but I cannot judge their reliability, or if any of these was presented at the AfD. There's a comment about "interviews of dubious credibility", which I guess might be these: radio part 1 part 2, video [6]; both interviews are credited to BBC Asian Network. Is there a way to confirm that it is in fact from them? At this point, I think userfication would be appropriate, but I would like to hear from others about whether this could be restored to mainspace directly - frankie (talk) 20:27, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- There's certainly more there than is presented at the AfD or at the AfD for Humza Arshad. All the sources seem to be about Arshad, rather than his YouTube show, so I believe it would be a better location for the information. I'd be happy to userfy the AfD'd version of it and Diary of a Bad Man for you. Cheers. lifebaka++ 21:52, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

- I agree that this should be combined with other material and used for an article about the cartoonist, who is more notable than any of his individual cartoons. Actually, I intended to do this myself as an obvious correction of error, but never got around to it. DGG ( talk ) 20:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
