 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The AfD on a previous instance of this article concluded yesterday with deletion. Apparently this new article (submitted by the same editor as the previous instance) is sufficiently different for CSD G4 not to apply. However notability concerns have not been addressed. The subject's book is self-published through Notion Press and, of the given references, the first (Indiatoday, 4 March 2016) is a piece by the subject, the second (Indianexpress) is a blank profile page, and the third (YKA) is a profile on a self-submission site, as well as being the only support found for the top-30 honour (possibly National Entrepreneurship Network, but no mention of the subject on their site). Even if better verification was found, a top-30 student award would be unlikely to be notable. I don't know whether these same references were available on the article version considered under the previous AfD, but its discussion seems to remain applicable. I am seeing nothing to suggest notability, either under WP:AUTHOR or wider biographical criteria, so I am bringing this to AfD proposing reconfirmation of yesterday's deletion decision.

 * Delete. Thanks, AllyD - I had been thinking of starting a new AfD bringing up the same arguments, so I agree entirely with the rationale brought forth in the nomination. I also didn't see the version of the article deleted yesterday but the same notability issues apply. I'm not even quite certain that Aditya Iyer the sports journalist in the second reference is the same person as the subject of the article (it's not an uncommon name), but even assuming that it is one and the same person, there is no indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. --bonadea contributions talk 18:17, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - per my rationale in the previous AfD. This version is different from the previous just by a whisker, and could have been G4ed in my understanding. The concerns with notability from the first AfD have not been addressed in any way and still fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Salting this would be a good idea.  Ya  sh  !   09:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
