[edit] Javed Malik

non-notable journalist, fails WP:BIO. Article has been tagged with {{verify}} for over 6 months. Tag is repeatedly removed by anons/new users w/o any attempt to add verification. Fails WP:V. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 23:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment The second link pretty much only mentions because he is the moderator of a seminar. The only thing it says about him personally is that he is a "prominent television and print journalist". This alone isn't exactly something that could serve as the foundation for an entire Wikipedia article. The first link is broken; could you check it? Thanks --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 12:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. The only link in the article is at the bottom and goes to a "Site under construction." The article has no reference citations, something that is required by WP:V which every article must meet. AbsolutDan has explained the problems with the links posted above. Internal links to other Wikipedia articles do not count for purposes of verification. GBYork 17:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
