Talk:Nitin Passi

Proposal for deletion
In response to proposal for deletion re: sources, I have added references to The Telegraph, The Times, The FT, Drapers, The Mirror and other British media. Happy to discuss and see where the line lies, but I think Passi falls on the side of notability. ScepticalChymist (talk) 13:09, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Notability
Reverted deletion, and argument made for notability on the basis of Passi's profile / reputation in fashion. Follows from point 3 of WP:BIO, ie, "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." I think there is a strong argument that Passi qualifies for this under impact / contributions to UK fashion. Willing to be educated though, and look forward to the discussion.

 * There is currently no evidence in the article of any such "widely recognised contribution" in fashion. I have AfD'ed the article, but of course if you add good references in support of WP:NBIO#3, I will consider withdrawing. — kashmīrī  TALK  21:01, 13 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks kashmiri, I'll test other editors' opinions on this. Drapers puts him at No. 10 most influential person in UK fashion -- above Mike Ashley, Philip Green, amongst others. Of course, not all the people on Drapers list qualify, but he is also the founder and 100pc owner of the company, worth £250 million according to The Sunday Times. Seems difficult to me to say he isn't notable. Reference: https://www.drapersonline.com/people/drapers-top-100-2017 ScepticalChymist (talk) 21:22, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

First article
Hi team, working my way through the addition of fashion entrepreneurs that currently do not have their own profiles, using The Rich List as a source reference. Highly visible company, which has its own Wiki presence. Let me know if I have missed anything. ScepticalChymist (talk) 17:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
