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. IndiaToday, DailyMail, Divya Bhaskar, Jagran and 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 [1], passes WP:GNG--Nixie9 (talk) 02:22, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Single event! §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:55, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

If single event make him passes notability issue, then it should be okay. -- Samkit ^{(Talk/Contributions)} 05:07, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
