Re-listing per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanka Timilsina, which was cut short after the article was incorrectly speedy deleted G7. Repeating the rationale from that AFD, there are more references this time, but no evidence yet that the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO, WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Several of the references are again fake. The posed close-up photo uploaded by article creator as “own work” suggests COI or UPE. I was tempted to nominate it for speedy deletion A7, but I seem to recall that bios can’t be nominated A7 following an AFD. See also WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Rupesh saud.

  @MountainWriter42 — despite more sources they are mostly just press releases and promotional material which are not reliable as sources on Wikipedia. As of now I do not think this article is notable enough, you could try your luck at WP:AFC if this ends up being deleted. In general creating articles again soon after their original deletion is frowned upon and might lead to penalties. HurricaneZeta (talk) 14:21, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @HurricaneZeta , Thank you for your feedback. I understand the concerns about sources and notability. I kindly request not to delete the article right away, as I am working on improving it with stronger and independent references. I will review the guidelines carefully and make the necessary improvements. MountainWriter42 (talk) 14:29, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @MountainWriter42 well the deletion isn’t in my control, I voted based on how I felt about the article, its sources, and its history. You are welcome to make changes but I don’t see a future for this article for now. HurricaneZeta (talk) 14:44, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
