 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An advertorially toned BLP for an unremarkable entrepreneur. Affiliated with a nn entity the article on which has been deleted at AfD: Articles for deletion/Kairos Society. Significant RS coverage not found; what comes up is WP:SPIP, interviews, passing mentions, and other self-promotion. Has been previously deleted here: Articles for deletion/Ankur Jain; has not become more notable since. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:59, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Hard to inherit notability from leading a company if the company itself is not notable. Reywas92Talk 23:12, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep because Ankur Jain meets WP:GNG and does not need to inherit notability. Irish Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc. Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, WIRED Magazine, Fast Company and more listed on the article in question. ShadesHeroGurly (talk) 01:31, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Nom's comment: the sources offered above were largely reviewed at the fist AfD and were deemed insufficient. They are based on interviews or other self-promotion the subject was doing for the Kairos Society. The subject has not become more notable since the 1st AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:02, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: Virtually all profiles of notable individuals is "based on interviews", and if we discounted articles for having an element of "self-promotion" (a highly subjective and questionable judgment) we'd have to delete articles on most celebrities. Neither of those reasons are policy-based.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 10:05, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I see no evaluation of these articles in the previous discussion. ShadesHeroGurly (talk) 05:27, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment: there is also a new long magazine article from The New Yorker that shows the subject has grown in notability just in the last week. That is on top of the long article from Entrepreneur magazine from August. There are now at least 5 long-form magazine articles in 5 different publications and dozens of newspaper articles to boot.

 * Keep – Meets WP:BASIC per a review of available sources. Concerns about tone can be addressed by copy editing the article, rather than deleting it in entirety. North America1000 02:02, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
