Bhavin Turakhia
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No grounds asserted for notability meeting WP:BIO. Turakhia's article was previously deleted two times - ref (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bhavin_Turakhia / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bhavin_Turakhia_(2nd_nomination). The activity done with this article looks like a paid article of a person, who has done lots of PR online, but didn't received any significant awards/recognition - WP:Notability. Seems a good business person from India but not notable. Vinay089 (talk) 09:20, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Notability clearly asserted in text and supported by ample sources. A quick source check shows several more google news sources. Article does perhaps need NPOVing.Icewhiz (talk) 20:27, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing has changed since when the article was last deleted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, Please check the history of User:Vinay089, who nominated this article of AFD. The way of editing is really suspicious. Also go through the article Bhavin Turakhia and the references cited. --Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 04:30, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

ATTENTION: I just checked the history of user User:Vinay089, who merely have any positive contribution to Wikipedia. This account seems to be sock, and created solely with purpose of deleting notable articles. (The account Vinay089 is under sockpupet investigation, Here) He nominates the article for deletion even without informing the creator of page (He doesn't leave notification on talk page). The user merely aware about Wikipedia's policy. Despite of being notable, he nominated article Bhavin Turakhia repeatedly for deletion. One more important thing which should be consider, he nominates the article and copy paste same reason in every in each and every AFD. You may check the list of article he nominated and the given reason.
 * Strong Keep The article is well cited with reliable sources. It has received significant media coverage in mainstream media houses including Forbes, Forbes India, Times of India, The Economic Times, Entrepreneur (magazine), Zee News, Huffington Post, Navbharat Times, Daily Bhaskar, Business Today, NDTV, The Hindu, The Hindu Business Line, Asian Age,  Deccan Herald, Business Standard, News18 India, Firstpost and list goes on. It clearly meets the Wikipedia's Notability guidelines, passes GNG, BIO. Apart from this, His company, achievement, awards are enough to make the subject notable for inclusion to Wikipedia.

See one of his comment when one of user contacted him and how he responded, "Thanks for reaching out, as per my suggestion you must quit writing about Turakhia brothers. Otherwise there are high chances of block on your account by Administrators. Because as per the decision of many Wikipedia members & especially Administrators there article is not notable and is Delete. Being an Indian as per my experiences with the Wikipedia is that, here mostly foreign entrepreneurs are valued more than Indian businesspeople."

It shows he hardly knows Wikipedia policy and just nominating the article for deletion, vandalizing and violating the Wikipedia policy. Also See his global contribution here. --Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 04:22, 17 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment @, Thanks for mentioning me, I'm a Wikipedia user/editor as any other. If I see any article that is not notable and should not be up (within specific category), then I had/have/will nominate that for investigation as it comes under my rights. I guess you're new here because the article gets deleted/removed by decision of multiple editors. So find some more information about Wikipedia. Just fyi, sock has happened because I was trying to create a new article which was already created, not for adding delete nominations. May I know why it's hurting you so much? Are you an paid editor? Vinay089 (talk) 06:13, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Please be rational in debate. Neither I am hurt (why would?) nor paid. I am well informed about Wikipedia and WP policy. I believe, you need to be informed, seriously. You should know that Wikipedia does not make any discrimination to anyone weither anyone is Indian or foreigner. Your comment was ridiculous and illogical. Wikipedia encourages and welcomes everyone to edit.
 * You are non active user. You only come online to delete the article. You have hardly any positive contribution to Wikipedia. Your account and activities is quite suspicious and shows that It is created for deletion purposes only. You nominate the article for deletion without informing to the creator and copy-paste the same reason in every AFD, it violates the Deletion policy. You seem to be someone close to or from team of Ayan Chawla (a clear COI), en non notable entrepreneur whose article has been deleted multiple times, since long you advocating Chawla but nothing worked out. Your activities also are similar to the banned/blocked shockpuppet accounts/users who created Ayan Chawla's article. i think, this issue need to be raised in Wikipedia's community portal.--Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 12:43, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@, Again thank you for writing such a big note. I'm here to edit few articles like you and '''you have also done about 150 edits total like me. So, why are you trying to attack? Try to understand, whenever any user open delete discussion it's up-to the community to delete or not'''. This article was deleted two times earlier but this time it looks that it will sustain because many users think to Keep. Why are you making this an issue? Just for your curiosity unfortunately I'm not connected to any of the people on Wikipedia or the people/organisation I'm editing/writing about. I wish I had any connection to Mukesh Ambani or Bhavin Turakhia, can you please refer me?    :)     FYI: I'm in touch with an editor now who had deleted the Ayaan Chawla's article and now he's helping me to solve the basic issues with it. I agree that I had made that discrimination comment, so what? That was my opinion, did I said that to you? WHY ARE YOU CONCERNED TO THINGS WHICH ARE NOT RELATED TO YOU OR EFFECTING COMMUNITY? Vinay089 (talk) 15:02, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@ Please be rational in debate. I am not attacking you. I am putting my points. '''Please understand that I don't have problem you have nominated this article for deletion. You are vandalizing and violating the Wikipedia's policy and Deletion policy. I found your activities suspicious and I am making people aware of it.''' If you are not guilty, Please you no need to afraid. Let the sock-puppet investigation finish.

I am concerned to thing I am not related because I am concerned abut WIKIPEDIA. And Yes, It is affecting community. You shouldn't/can't spread wrong information about Wikipedia. '''Better if you should make yourself well-informed about WP and its policy. Otherwise you end up violating the policies''', just like you are doing since long. --Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 15:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@: Let me tell you the truth, what you're trying to do is Wikipedia stocking which is against the policy. The other article ZNetLive (company) which I have raised for Wikipedia deletion and you tried to stock me over there as well with same comment, over there three other primary editors feel that the article should be deleted. So what are you trying to proof? I'm not interested for any further communication with you, as you're undecided/unaware. Vinay089 (talk) 16:00, 17 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment: (ATTENTION / GENERAL) The sockpupet investigation over my account (User:Vinay089) has been closed successfully and considered as COIN (Conflict of interest/Noticeboard) rather than as an SPI case. I apologize for being off-topic by putting this comment. Vinay089 (talk) 16:20, 18 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - Notable per WP:GNG. Well cites with relisble sources. That this article was put up for deletion again is just pointless.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:46, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think there's in practice a presumption that billionaires are notable. (we may have to raise this cut-off some day, the way the world is going, but it seems still to be reasonable). The present article does not seem promotional .  DGG ( talk ) 08:46, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep As DGG points out, people who are Rich as Croesus are notable. Plus there are sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:27, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
