Bhav Dhillon

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Copy and paste move from Draft:Bhav Dhillon in order to subvert the AfC process. Have already advised editor on IRC to return to the draft and submit correctly. - Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 12:40, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Businesspeople,  and New Zealand. - Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 12:40, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It isn't required to use AFC unless there is a conflict of interest, or the user is an IP user for which that's the only option; a user is free to disregard a review and the advice of reviewers. The user hasn't declared a COI if they have one- though I think it's certainly possible.  I have posted a possible paid editing notice on their user talk. 331dot (talk) 12:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * User has now mentioned a COI. 331dot (talk) 08:19, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment I've already requested a history merge of the draft to the pasted copy in mainspace. Once the history is merged, I'd have no objection to moving it back to draft, but I suspect we'll be doing a rinse-repeat of history merges if we try that. Article creator is apparently not a native English speaker. Storchy (talk) 12:54, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * History merge request was just declined . I've done some cleanup to the main space version, and gently undone new editor's attempts to revert back to its promotional former state. Subject might meet WP:BIO, with some coverage in national newspaper and radio. indianweekender.co.nz references turn out to be primary source though, as Dhillon is the publisher. I'll tag those now.

 * Hi Rich Smith,
 * I have removed the draft article and this is the only article page remaining now. I will be making the required changes in this article, therefore I request you to please take this article out of deletion process.
 * Please help me understand what else needs to be done to get the review templates removed from this article.
 * The Bhav Dhillon article must not be considered an orphan page as I have added the links to other Wikipedia pages as required. So can I remove that tag. Thanks. IndivarWiki (talk) 05:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 20:07, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Looks like a promotional article by a SPA. While not a basis for a deletion vote, I am very suspicious of any editor who fails to defend a suggestion of COI or possibly paid promotion. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 05:10, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * a new second SPA, User:Garry nz, is now also laying on the praise with a trowel, citing with press releases posted on Scoop.co.nz. A lot of cleanup will be needed. Storchy (talk) 05:32, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. Promotional. Blatant COI. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 01:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I've just done another cleanup. He does seem to pass WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Storchy (talk) 06:03, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete despite the heroic refbombing, the sources cited are a mix of passing mentions, appointment and award notices, churnalism and non-RS sources; the only one IMO that looks like it might meets the GNG standard is the Indian Weekender piece, but I'm not sure how independent and reliable it is; in any case, it alone isn't enough to establish notability. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:10, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The Indian Weekender is owned by Dhillon, so I've replaced that reference. Seems I missed one in the mass removal above. Storchy (talk) 07:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Storchy; I had a funny feeling that might well be the case, but on a quick glance couldn't find the evidence. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Weak delete, I think DoubleGrazing is right about the sources. There is the Radio New Zealand reference, but I'm not really seeing the SIGCOV in multiple sources needed for WP:BIO. Storchy (talk) 08:20, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
