Al aman Kollam

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Advertorialized WP:BLP -- actually an WP:AUTOBIO, per the creator's username -- of a journalist not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. As always, Wikipedia is not a LinkedIn substitute on which people are automatically entitled to have articles just because they have jobs -- the notability test requires externally validated evidence of the significance of your work, and is not passed just by calling yourself important in your own PR. But the references here aren't GNG-building coverage, as one comes from his own employer and the other is a short blurb that reads more like a press release than like real journalism or analysis. This is not the type or depth of coverage it takes to get into Wikipedia. Bearcat (talk) 16:35, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Don't want to close this as soft-delete due to likelihood of being contested down the track. Relisting to find more firm consensus.

 * Delete: An autobiographical article moved into mainspace by WP:SPA after creation by  (and the activity by another WP:SPA  in attempting to disrupt thie AfD could also be worthy of attention). The article is effectively a CV making no claim to the subject having attained encyclopaedic notability. The flimsy advertorial references are inadequate, and Indian media searches are not finding the coverage which would be needed to demonstrate notability here.
