Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shayan Anique Akhtar
The article was created as a self-promotional vanity page. Personally, I would at that stage happily have deleted it as promotional. However, other editors moved in and added content, including providing evidence that the author/subject of the article was all that he claimed to be. The author then decided to have it deleted. The fact that the author of the self-promotional article is unhappy that his attempt to abuse Wikipedia to spread his propaganda has backfired is not a valid reason for deletion. It is quite simple: if you don't want the negative aspects of your activities published on Wikipedia, then don't create a promotional article about yourself here. The subject certainly satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as there is a huge amount of coverage in reliable sources. All of that coverage is a direct result of the subject's spreading propaganda about wonderful things he claimed top have done, but however it came about, he has received far more than enough media attention to qualify for an article. His disappointment on finding that he doesn't |own the Wikipedia article he created, and cannot make sure that it remains as a dishonest piece of self-promotion, is not a valid reason for deletion
