Source evaluation

edit

This draft has been rejected but another source has been added, so I'll do a source evaluation here for the sources that are in the current version of the draft.

The sources are in four batches. The first one has citations that have been added to the draft in the correct manner to verify various bits of information.

Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
https://www.dawn.com/news/1820867   Press release   Promotional blurb about receiving the PSL award No
https://pakobserver.net/hassan-nisar-founder-of-metrix-pakistan-honoured-with-hamaray-heroes-award-by-psl/   The same press release as the previous source     No
https://www.nation.com.pk/12-Jun-2024/metrix-pakistan-mansehra-college-sign-mou-for-cooperation   Press release about a partnership between his company and a university     Mentions his name in passing No
https://www.radio.gov.pk/19-05-2024/three-day-tech-summit-highlighting-diverse-skills-concludes-in-islamabad   Press release about a technology conference / competition     Mentions his name in passing No
https://tribune.com.pk/story/2467500/tech-summit-encourages-innovation   A slightly longer version of the same press release as the previous source     Mentions his name in passing No
https://www.nation.com.pk/07-May-2024/fast-university-metrix-pakistan-organise-annual-nutec-event   Churnalism based on the same press release as the previous two sources     Mentions his name in passing No
https://www.suchtv.pk/technology/item/117188-kpk-s-biggest-tech-summit-brings-web3-blockchain-to-limelight.html   Another press release for another tech conference / competition ?   Mentions his name in passing No
https://www.dawn.com/news/1653693 ~ Written by a journalist but largely based on an interview     Not about Nisar No
https://tribune.com.pk/story/2319783/youtuber-discovers-eight-waterfalls-in-haripur       Mentions his name in passing No
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH-2YhCwFQU ~ Interview with the person, entirely primary   Although this is a YouTube video (usually not reliable), this seems to be published by an official channel ? Unlikely – it's a 5-minute segment with Nisar speaking, but it is apparently focused specifically on the PSL award. ? Unknown
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

Then there's a list of nine external links with no explanation of how they relate to the info in the draft.

I don't quite know what to say to anyone who believes that these sources do, in any shape or form whatsoever, meet WP:CORPDEPTH. --bonadea contributions talk 13:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

...nor WP:BLP, which is the relevant one here. (Kind of drives my point home, that I didn't remember this was supposed to be about a person – so few of the sources do more than mention him by name!) --bonadea contributions talk 14:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Bonadea, You did a pretty good job. Majority of sources are WP:GUNREL. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 16:14, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Bonadea: Thanks for doing the legwork on this. With so many references, including in some major publications, but with the draft in such a poor state, it was difficult to see the wood from the trees. I'd started trying to group them, but gave up when they piled yet more references on. Good job. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:03, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
