Vanity piece, WP:TOOSOON, 23 year old with lots of claims but no reliable sources, only a handful of weak ones and a single IMDB entry for a short he was associated with. Dennis Brown (talk) 10:16, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It does say on Junior Reid's wikipedia page that Mahad Dar is Junior Reid's manager. This seems significant to me; Junior Reid has a fairly substantial article, so Reid's manager should at least have a few lines, it seems to me. Not every 23 year old is the manager of a major talent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.219.38.25 (talk) 18:57, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that is an unsourced claim, making it either false, or original research if a source can't be found. That "fact" was added by an IP, who only ever made one edit to Wikipedia as well, [1], making it a bit more questionable. Dennis Brown (talk) 10:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete: A lot of hot air and self-promotion, accompanied by a complete lack of reliable, independent sources. That he has his own "webshow" just puts him up with millions of other wannabe "auteurs," that he's one of dozens in a single indie documentary wouldn't come remotely close to fulfilling the requirements of WP:CREATIVE, and that he's allegedly someone's manager bumps against the well-known principle that notability is not inherited. The article was shot down at Articles for Creation on three separate occasions over a two year span for a lack of reliable sources, and one would think that the string of anon IPs and SPAs that keep trying to put this article up would be better served by waiting until the subject's done something deemed worthy of notice by the world.
