 * Remove it, my reasons - This article is a self promotional article. The subject is not a known person to any kind of masses. He doesn't seem to fulfil criterion mentioned at WP:ARTIST. He is a graphic designer who works at a company. All he has is a funny twitter account.
 * Debunking article claims :
 * 1. "creates posters of Bollywood". I searched, seems all he has is a blog where he mimics popular Bollywood movie posters.
 * 2. "featured in over 90 magazines and newspapers." I could find only like 20 appearances some of which are blogs. Plus it is not a criterion of being worthy to be on Wikipedia.
 * 3. "He has earlier worked with Happily Unmarried, Comic Con India, and DSYN. He spent close to three years at Zomato, then took a short break during which he worked with All India Bakchod as a Social Media Manager. He is back at Zomato as of November 2015." - Those were his "jobs".
 * 4. "Minimal Bollywood Posters is Akshar's brainchild " See the use of word "brainchild"
 * 5. "His posters have caught the eye of Facebook users around the World since it became viral through Social Networking Forums such as Facebook and Twitter." Yes its just a small meme. Which is unknown to mass majority. Plus where is the reference for this line?
 * The user who had created this article has only two articles in his/her contribution list Special:Contributions/Shreiyachow . S/he has made only five edits till date. I suspect s/he wrote it as a promotion.--182.75.175.230 (talk) 10:09, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete "widely recognised in the digital world"? Not until we add reblogging a tumblr post, or retweeting as a notability criterion to WP:ARTIST or WP:GNG Mduvekot (talk) 16:29, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
