The page was apparently created by the subject (Dsarma23). It has been speedy-nominated once 10 years ago and PRODed 4 years ago. See: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=iRIZTYAAAAAJ&hl=en. I agree with the PROD nominator, who said "Does not appear to meet notability guidelines for academics, authors, or even simply the general notability guidelines."

 * This is really annoying as the books he's authored do appear to be reasonably solid, and might have been just sufficient to pass NPROF in an article that doesn't look like someone's personal reminiscences. If this was written by the subject, then it perfectly expresses why it is a bad idea to write about oneself. Without prejudice to a future properly-written article, yes, it might be better to start over. If not deleted, the current article must be reduced to a couple of supported sentences, summarising his career and authorships, without dragging the reader through unreferenced reminiscences about teenage career-path decisions, and lists of every academic he's met. I wish that Move to LinkedIn were an outcome we could suggest. Elemimele (talk) 09:20, 9 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:NOTLINKEDIN, article lacks any claim to notability, COI in creation, BLP (and/or more COI?) issues with anon later adding a huge chunk of unreferenced biographical details. Borderline A7, borderline G11. &mdash;siro&chi;o 09:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete this needs TNT. I found this, the person helped create culturally appropriate greeting cards for the USA market. The article reads like a memoir. I can't find other sourcing about this individual. Oaktree b (talk) 15:13, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
