Akash Jain

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a WP:1EVENT candidate. It looks as if the article was created by the article's subject. The event is a Twitter retweet by the Prime Minister. red dogsix (talk) 20:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - This article is about a Social media entrepreneur who is not just limited to a single event but multiple events.


 * The Indian Prime Minister retweeted and followed back the person which has happened for the first time in Indian history when PM followed back a common man. This was due to the initiative taken by his family of promoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat (Clean India) initiative by using the logo on wedding invitation. It has instantly made the person highly popular over social media, print media and electronic media. There are over 300+ strong and high quality evidences which can be found here : https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=M1blWPSIJ_Lx8AePxKT4Bg&gws_rd=ssl#q=akash+jain+Modi&start=0&*


 * The biggest news sites starting from Times of India, Yahoo, Indian express, Aajtak, India TV, Dainik Bhaskar, NDTV, ANI and many more, everyone have reported the whole story of a common man becoming the internet sensation. Even the google news has been picking up the entire story : https://news.google.com/news/story?hl=en&ned=en_pk&ncl=dWaeHvOraNo8CzMn2CGeSGYxKD8oM&lr=en&rfilter=0&q=akash+jain&btnC=Go


 * Akash Jain has also been into social media activities with previous Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Indian bollywood actor Aamir Khan. He has been associated with branding for Ford Cars as well. This article is not just limited to single event. It talks about the whole activity of the person in the domain of social media.


 * This category already lists the Indian Internet celebrities who emerged strongly from Social media : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Indian_Internet_celebrities


 * The page should remain active as it showcases a 'internet celebrity and social media entrepreneur' and it should not be deleted.' Akash207 (talk)

 * Comment - Again, he is known for a single event. Being a "Social media entrepreneur," in itself,  does not make one notable for a Wikipedia article, nor does being retweeted.  Being associated with Indian cricket does not make one notable, notability is not inherited.  Nor does branding just about any product, this is WP:ROUTINE.  There are far from "300+'' Google hits.  A Google search of "akash jain" Modi tweet" shows only 73 - far less than the "300+" you propose - this number also includes many hits unrelated to the event.  red dogsix (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete This violates not news. People do not become notable just because one tweet by them gets retweeted by someone notable. We need more sustained coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:18, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Dear reddogsix & johnpacklambert,

This article is about the subject becoming an indian internet celebrity WP category - Indian Internet Celebrities) after his content went viral on social media which was not only picked up by Indian Prime minister but the whole of online media, print media, TV Media and social media. The viral content has got over 9K favourites, 3K retweets. It has become for the first time in India that a common man has been followed back by the prime minister on Social Media.

The wiki definition of Internet celebrity on wiki says someone who has become famous by means of the Internet. The wiki category Indian Internet celebrities features people who became overnight sensations after a single event. There are already many subject articles around such topic. If the event was unsustainable or small, not every media would have picked up the story. The WP:OneEvent also says that "However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified."

 * Comment - Again, he is known for a single event. Being a "Social media entrepreneur," in itself,  does not make one notable for a Wikipedia article, nor does being retweeted.  "Real-world" does not equal Wikipedia based notability.   red dogsix (talk) 16:33, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - To correct you, it is not just a single retweet or follow back. It is the effect of that action which trigged discussion and popularity in entire nation including all media platforms. What falls under Indian Internet celebrities? There are many articles under that category who became popular due to single event. This article revolves around the same theme. Akash207 (talk)


 * Keep - The subject has gained instant internet popularity on social media and internet due to the whole swachh bharat idea when narendra modi followed him back on twitter. it falls under internet celebrity category. may be some modifications on page but article should stay.

 * Delete as, despite wide coverage, this is a case of WP:BLP1E. Narendra Modi following a "common man" on Twitter (of all things) is no reason to write an article on them.  Modi follows over 1,500 people on Twitter, and since many of them would be "ordinary" citizens, should we allow articles on each and every one of them?  At best, the article can be merged with the one on Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (perhaps under a new "reactions" section). — Stringy Acid (talk) 22:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - PM Modi doesn't follow common man. The reason for the wide coverage is because for the first time he retweeted and followed a common man which became a house hold topic in entire India and media. There is a wiki category named Indian Internet Celebrities. There are people who became overnight popular due to single big event. Akash207 (talk)
 * The (very brief) coverage on Akash Jain lasted less than a week, which is hardly enough time for it to be a "household topic" in a country with population over a billion. Do you have any evidence for the claim that this is the "first time" Modi retweeted a "common man's" tweet?  And what's your definition of "common man"?  Also see WP:OTHERSTUFF -- just because there are articles similar to this one doesn't mean that this ought to be included.  (On another note, I'm surprised by the amount of sockpuppets casting their votes in this AfD.) — Stringy Acid (talk) 19:50, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
