 * Delete per WP:BASIC and WP:NAUTHOR. Could not find coverage of Srivastav beyond this article from "Virtual Strategy Magazine". The article is written by "The Backbenchers Inc", a company founded by Srivastav. userdude 06:40, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. The article appears to be junk. I quote from it as it was until a couple of minutes ago: . Not one of those "mental disorders" is even mentioned in the cited web page. (The closest is an implication that the biographee would have benefitted from psychiatric help, for one or more unspecified problems.) Of course I removed these two sentences, but I wonder what other fictions the article might contain. -- Hoary (talk) 08:06, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Consider the section "Early life and education": it has four paragraphs, three of which are unsourced but one of which is sourced to Crunchbase, which for this purpose is junk. And its fourth (and of course unsourced) paragraph reads (I wonder what "certifications" means.) Oh, but "Bhanu Srivastav likes to live his life in an anonymous way and is totally Google proof." -- Hoary (talk) 10:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure what shenanigans have been going on with the nominator, but from my reading this is a promotional article supported exclusively by unreliable sources - I don't see that WP:BASIC or WP:NAUTHOR being met. Girth Summit  (blether)  14:49, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
