The article is largely promotional. It was PRODed and deleted (possibly twice: see Tiwaribharat, Aarushi2003) in 2012. The photograph in the article's infobox was uploaded in 2012 by Tiwaribharat. The current article was first created by Aaru2003 and declined then resubmitted by PhotoIndia. Since then it has been edited and promoted by anonymous editors.

The sources cited in the article don't particularly establish notability. A Financial Express article in the external links section does dedicate a couple of inches to him. But IMO, this is insufficient. —Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 12:56, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Does not have significant coverage as per the criteria WP:SIGCOV or WP:NARTIST. Teh Asian Age article and the Financial express article above mention him in passing and attribute his comment about the topic of the article. We require an article in reliable media talking about the subject in great detail. --DBigXray 15:12, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt I thought this was borderline, but after deleting many of the shady sources (a contact page, a book for sale page, a photos for sale page) used as sources, it's clear that the brief mentions in the sourcing that is left, and the promotional and exaggerated nature of the page adds up to a GNG fail. Salt may be required given past deletions. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:55, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
