This article was previously deleted via AfD in 2014 (I was the deleting admin). It has been re-created now and was tagged by another editor as G4, but it is a different article without the blatantly promotional aspect of the one that was deleted. Since notability is still unproven, however, I have declined the G4 and brought it back to AfD. I am neutral. Black Kite (talk) 09:36, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article reads like a promo piece for one person. BTW, I'm a math major can I have an article about myself?  ThurstonHowell3rd (talk) 14:48, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep--The article is about a senior editor in the second most populous country in the world. Chaubey is a very prominent Indian journalist. Several Indian journalists less prominent than Chaubey have their own wikipedia page, so it seems unreasonable to deny him a wikipedia biographical page. Incidentally, i have now added a new section on Chaubey's coverage of the Saharanpur riots. Soham321 (talk) 18:15, 14 June 2015 (UTC)For the purpose of comparison, i am giving the wikipedia biographical articles of a few other Indian journalists: Naghma Sahar, Nidhi Kulpati, and Ashok Malik. I would suggest that these three articles are comparatively more worthy candidates for deletion rather than the Chaubey article. Soham321 (talk) 21:54, 14 June 2015 (UTC)I looked for other wikipedia biographies of Indian journalists and i am giving links to them just so that we can compare them to the Chaubey article. Here are two examples: Shaili Chopra, and Deepak Chaurasia. I think a mass culling of wikipedia biographical articles of Indian journalists will have to be done in the event that you decide to kill the Chaubey article. Soham321 (talk) 05:46, 15 June 2015 (UTC)Here are a few more wikipedia profiles of Indian journalists for the purpose of comparison with the Chaubey profile: Shivnath Thukral, and Vidya Shankar Aiyar.Soham321 (talk) 07:43, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt. Clearly promotional. Subject still fails WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Source coverage almost entirely references a singe event (see WP:BLP1E). I don't see any improvement re the issues raised in the previous AfD. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:10, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
