Anand Sen (business person)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article did not meet the notability guideline for biographies.  . Shlok  talk. 06:15, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of reliable independent sources and evidence of meeting inclusion criteria. Guy (Help!) 08:34, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep  Tata are "quite large", to say the least. Mr Sen has a very senior role within Tata. Anything else is cleanup. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:38, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a WP:BLP. Sourcing is a matter of urgency, not one-day-someone-might-clean-this-up. Guy (Help!) 10:53, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a big difference between "Is Mr Sen a " and "Mr Sen is a, but does that make him notable?". Our problems in this AfD are almost all of the second form. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:19, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Up to a point, Lord Copper. If he is notable then there will be non-trivial coverage in reliable independent sources. No such sources are included in the article. I did, incidentally, check Highbeam, but there are only namechecks. I will admit that my circle of acquaintances does not encompass companies this big, but I know one former Fortune 500 CEO who made the cover of Time, which counts, and I know others of similar seniority who have no coverage in RS at all. I also know one who is quite a bit further down the tree but has non-trivial coverage due to his hobby. Guy (Help!) 15:48, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * LinkedIn for Fortune 500s, http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=23335673&ticker=874170 It's not hard to find more. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:54, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - There's no "B" in this BLP. We can vouch for his position, but per WP:CORP he's not necessarily notable for it, and he doesn't inherit from Tata Steel.  The sources are also not independent - having a Bloomberg Stock listing isn't proof of notability; it's a management reporting requirement sourced from the company's filings.  Nothing else in there is biographically useful.  I'm also skeptical of the Indian Institute of Metals medal meeting criteria in this case - the IIM article states that it rents its office space from Tata Steel, and doesn't mention the medal at all. So I question the independence of the award with on other justification, and I question the notability of the award when it's not mentioned.  His "so many papers" linked from that other guy's page amount to exactly one co-authorship on a peer-reviewed journal.  The other sourced are from Tata, so they aren't independent and only speak to existence.  Show me something arm's-length, and that's a different story, but I'm not seeing it so far in my searches.

 * Delete. Absolutely nothing is verifiable by reliable sources.  The sources are not even wrong -- one links to a different person, possibly a mentor.  Even if this could be made into an article, it needs to be destroyed and started from scratch. Bearian (talk) 16:02, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
