Speedy deletion nomination of Saurabh Aggarwal
Hello Saurabh ironman agarwal,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Saurabh Aggarwal for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. LS1979 (talk) 18:32, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi - you shouldn't really create articles on yourself; see the conflict of interest guidelines. Also, please make sure you meet the criteria for WP:ATHLETE. Generally speaking, you need to be a professional athlete to qualify. A lot of the references are purely promotional of your fundraising campaigns; there's not much discussion of you as a professional athlete. Should you achieve professional status, or participate in e.g. the Olympics, then you will be notable enough for Wikipedia. But you should then let someone else create an article about you.

 * Regarding the note on the article page, as a colleague, you still have a connection to the subject of the article. Until Saurabh becomes a notable athlete, unfortunately promotional coverage in newspapers may not satisfy the requirements. The need is for reliable sources - those that cover the subject neutrally and without aiming to promote him or take their coverage largely from what he says about himself - rather than just sources in a newspaper. He has to achieve some actual professional status before becoming eligible for a Wikipedia article. LS1979 (talk) 19:20, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
