The subject of this article has questionable notability. She does not meet BIO, and has only been covered for one event. Megan B....

 * Keep: Passes WP:GNG. I can find significant coverage about her from News18 India and Amar Ujala. (Note: I am the creator of this article) ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 13:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - the coverage appears focused on one event, she otherwise appears to be low-profile, and available sources do not appear to support significance or her substantial and well-documented role (including because of how many sources rely on her statements and therefore lack independence, e.g. Indian Express, BBC News, Hindustan Times, Tribune (Chandigarh), Amar Ujala, News18, or include her as one of several, e.g. Tribune (Chandigarh)). There also do not appear to be reviews of her exam-prep book, only an announcement . Even without WP:BLP1E, the limited coverage in independent and reliable sources does not appear to support WP:GNG/WP:BASIC at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 17:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: I also found her biography in Byju's. See https://byjus.com/free-ias-prep/gamini-singla-upsc-2021-air-3/ ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 07:43, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Byjus is not a reliable source — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:05, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - Byju's is a major exam prep company in India, and its promotion of someone who placed 3rd in the UPSC exam, was the subject of multiple similar puff-piece articles, and then published an exam-prep book, seems to help contribute to the appearance here of an advertisement masquerading as an article. It seems WP:TOOSOON for a standalone article based on the depth and independence of the available sources - the coverage about her is not yet sustained. Beccaynr (talk) 15:51, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Civil Services Examination for now. In the future, perhaps an article can be created, with stronger sources.Historyday01 (talk) 04:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Beccaynr summed this up well. BLPs need clear sourcing for notability.  // Timothy :: talk  14:22, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
