[edit] Obaid Azam Azmi
- – (View log)
Poet of questionable notability - the claim in the article about being the "fourth greatest" ghazal poet is unattributed. Unable to find any reliable information beyond a name and photo despite numerous searches. Compare 35 unique GHits for the name[1] with the thousands of hits for any other name in Category:Urdu poets, or in Ghazal#Important Poets of Urdu Ghazal. Possible case of self-promotion, judging by edit histories inserting the name into other WP articles. ~Matticus UC 09:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Added the following articles to this AfD as they are largely identical:
- Obaid azam azmi
- Azmi

- Delete all, unless sources that aren't his own website are provided to verify the information. I also notice this user created another article on the same subject (Obaid azam azmi) which should probably be included in this AfD. shoeofdeath (talk) 03:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. It turns out that these articles are part of a spamming campaign to promote the subject and some associated sites, see WT:WPSPAM#Indian poetry spam. Obaid azam azmi and Azmi should also be deleted because they share the same subject. MER-C 12:29, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
