The article does not assert Ghalib's notability. See Relationships do not confer notability Pinkadelica (talk) 03:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC) Redirect Strong delete Because this individual may or may not be dating Britney Spears is the only possible reason for this article to start. In checking notability criteria, it is apparent that this individual, by himself, is a non-notable person for inclusion in Wikipedia. In accordance with Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Invalid criteria, it states That person A has a relationship with well-known person B is not a reason for a standalone article on A. That is relevant to Adnan Ghalib specifically, as the example given in the guideline is actually the first husband of Britney Spears. Relationships do not confer notability. I believe this article should be deleted and anything regarding Ghalib at this juncture should be no more than a notation in the Britney Spears article and not be accorded a separate article. For the reasons below, and the ones I listed here, I am changing my opinion to redirect. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect to the relevant section of the Britney Spears article as a plausible search term. This should remain a redirect (locked if necessary) until such a time as multiple sources describe a notability or importance other than being in a relationship with a celebrity. I am indifferent on if this should be deleted before redirecting. -- saberwyn 05:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Additional: This should not be interpreted as a Keep not-a-vote. -- saberwyn 18:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect per WP:BLP1E and all that. Just being a boyfriend of a notorious celeb does not confer notability, no matter how many times TMZ mentions your name. It is, of course, a plausible search term, so send people to the appropriate article. --Dhartung | Talk 08:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Britney Spears. Not notable on his own. --Komrade Kiev (talk) 13:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Adnan Ghalib is not even mentioned in the Britney Spears article and current consensus is not to mention him there. Therefore I feel we should consider how appropriate a redirect there would be. I have no strong feelings about this article, though.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep He has had/is having extensive media coverage, people usually come to Wikipedia to learn about new things, and this might well be one of them. Λua∫Wise (Operibus anteire) 14:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Perhaps some of the "redirect" voters might rethink their opinion in light of the consensus on the Spears page not to include Ghalib at this time. Without being mentioned in her article, his is even more unnotable. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  • To be honest, I now think that it should just be redirected there, should be uncontroversial.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 21:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I'd be fine with a redirect, I just don't think the guy warrants an article of his very own. Pinkadelica (talk) 02:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The info is inherently of interest. Whether it is kept here or merged to Britney Spears (ironically, her initials are BS...), I could care less. — BQZip01 — talk 03:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
