 * &#x222F; WBG, I think there's a case for it, but having sent it here, I can't coherently also G11. Why not tag the article as such, or comment here to SD, and see what happens? Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:19, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep and cleanup to address tone and content issues – Per WP:BEFORE searches, meets WP:BASIC. Below are some sources; more are available in searches, and it's likely that additional hindi-language sources exist. North America1000 01:47, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Notable Carnatic musician who was awarded Prathibha Puraskaram (2014) by the State of Kerala, North America has already provided some very good sources to prove the notability of this BLP. Clearly WP:BEFORE was not been done by the nominator, and is against  WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  20:03, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm..... NOTPROMO is a perfectly valid reason for deletion. &#x222F; WBG converse 12:26, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * off topic, but I believe its high time you should re-read the WP:G11, specially note the phrase "if it needs Fundamentally rewritten" and not minor c/e that NorthAmerica did. CSD and AfD are not substitutes for article maintenance tags. you are simply wasting AfD resources if you believe that. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  12:44, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , equally off-topic but fundamentally is a subjective criterion.
 * As DGG once sed:--Any article edited by a promotional editor should always be deleted. This is the only way to discourage people from using the WP for advertising. If the subject is actually important, someone else will create an article. Rescuing it sends the message that if your write an unacceptable article about yourself, someone will very possibly fix it for you, and therefore you might as well try to advertise here. It furthermore sends the message that if you you hire someone to write an article and they take money for doing this, and they write the usual unacceptable article such people write, then someone will fix it for you free, while the guy who wrote the bad article gets the money. &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 03:23, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I like your adoration for policies, except that they are not rigid and subject to own interpretation.So, deriving from someone's argument to explain why I thing NOTPROMO is a valid standalone reason to delete content, need not me met with an irrational and patronizing reply as to that WP:DGG is not a policy. &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 07:55, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You have to learn to understand and appreciate the difference between a "wide consensus" based policy vs an individual editor's opinion.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  09:00, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
