Dayakar "Day" Veerlapati

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable “businessman” who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him thus doesn’t satisfy GNG. A before search doesn’t turn up any cogent reliable sources, most hits were user generated sources. Most of the sources used in the article aren’t even related to the subject.

 * Keep A lot more hyperlinks that direct the reader to other Wikipedia articles was added, as well as greater inclusion of sources throughout the article. Links to broad topics such as locations and universities are now included in the article as well. The current sources included in the article are crucial references to Dayakar's impact and influence in his community. A source from the Journal of Global Information Technology Management(a highly regarded academic journal) was also added to exemplify Dayakar Veerlapati's significance. Dayakar is worthy of a Wikipedia page because he has been written about in mainstream independent media outlets, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (the major daily newspaper in the 17th largest U.S. city), the St. Louis Business Journal, Ingraham's Business magazine (also an independent publication), Inc. magazine and the peer-reviewed academic publication Journal of Global Information Technology Management.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   20:13, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability. The Journal of Global Information Technology Management mention is an interview and therefore non-independent (not a GNG source). The Post-Dispatch mention is in its entirety "Chesterfield-based information technology firm S2Tech is celebrating its 15th anniversary." It's trivial coverage and doesn't mention Veerlapati whatsoever. The bizjournals.com articles are less immediately objectionable but still resemble business churnalism. The Ingram's article is a "top 50" list that plainly does not constitute significant coverage for GNG purposes. A BEFORE search did not reveal compelling evidence for notability.
