 * Comment - are these enough?    Spiderone  12:04, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

I believe that much more independent recognition and coverage is required for a person to be included on Wikipedia. Only two of the articles shown by Spiderone cover the mentioned person in detail. Citing [], a biographical page can be created if the person fulfils the following criteria: 1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times. 2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. 3. The person has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography or similar publication.
 * Comment - Spiderone  CAPTAIN RAJU(T)

The mentioned person doesn't meet any of the above criteria as of now. He may be on his way to become notable as he has achieved a lot, but as of now, the article doesn't deserve to be online. To cite a couple of cases, Rajan Anandan, one of the most prominent angel investors in India and Head of Google South Asia and Zishaan Hayath, Founder Toppr and another prominent angel investor do not have Wikipedia pages.

We need to maintain a certain standard for notability which, in my opinion, is not fulfilled here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ParadiseStark (talk • contribs) 09:49, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
