B S Shiju

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A mildly promotional article about a person without evidence of notability. (Despite the bombarding of the articles with references, few if any of them give substantial coverage of him.) (Contested PROD.) Yhto Plwhm (talk) 18:57, 11 June 2019 (UTC) Yhto Plwhm (talk) 18:57, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a political party's research director is not an "inherently" notable role for the purposes of getting an encyclopedia article — it could get him in the door if he were shown to clear WP:GNG, but is not an automatic inclusion freebie that guarantees him an article just because he exists. But the footnotes here are not substantive coverage about him for the purposes of establishing his notability — they are nearly all glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people, primary sources like his employer's own self-published media relations handbook, or purely tangential verification of stray facts about other things or people that completely fail to mention Shiju at all in the process — and the few that are genuinely about Shiju are just short employment announcement blurbs, not substantive coverage. The notability test is not "has had his name mentioned in the media", it is "has been substantively the subject of a significant volume of media coverage about him", and the sources here aren't passing it.

 * Delete Per Bearcat. This article fails WP:GNG because the sustained WP:SIGCOV of this man is just not there. Newshunter12 (talk) 06:38, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
