Aikat

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NAUTHOR. Coverage that might meet WP:GNG is based on the Telegraph India article, which I do not think is independent and the prabhatkhabar.com article (for the latter, I have not registered and I cannot read Hindi). The remainder of the sources are either dead links or are blogs.

The Ford campaign doesn't help establish notability - people 'participated in huge numbers' because 'gratification of Rs 1 lakh also acted as a bait for the people across the social media platforms to participate in the campaign.'

The Padma Shri nomination doesn't help establish notability - anyone can nominate anyone. I can't see that Aikat comes even close to the selection criteria which call for 'distinguished and exceptional achievements/service' and 'a lifetime of achievement'.

The creator of the biography has been blocked as a sock. I believe the article is simply promo. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:56, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
