Hridith Sudev

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Much of this self-promotional BLP has been uncited since 2012 (some earlier versions were even worse). If the uncited material and puffery is removed, there won't be enough to support notability.

Among the unsourced claims are:
 * 1) that International Energy Globe Awards, Austria  (about which we do not have an article), awarded to an  organization for which he was one of the founders,  is "Nature's Nobel Prize"
 * 2) that he is "one of the youngest recipients" of this award
 * 3) that his self-published poetry book is "one of the best-selling English-language poetry books in the Middle-East."
 * 4) That he is a graduate of the schools he lists.

Material cited only to self-serving local pseudo interviews where he says what he cares to.
 * 1) that his high school eco-club developed into a major organization
 * 2) that his work was inspired by his grandmothers household practices
 * 3) that "He has worked extensively on ending gender-based violence and racial discrimination, informed by his own personal experiences."
 * 4) that his occupations are "poet,  Environmentalist, Public Speaker". His actual status would seem to be college student, (thought that too is an uncited claim)

among the puffery or extremely minor material and extensive namedropping, even if some of it should happen to be true: that he has a career of s fiction writer when he has not yet published a single work in that field
 * 1) that he is descended from a Royal family
 * 2) that"as often been called the 'World's Greenest Boy' for his environmental stewardship"
 * 3) his self description in the personal life and activism section
 * 4) that his latest venture might "help solve the world water problem in regions with water scarcity."
 * 5) that he has a "scientific career" in medical research
 * 6) that his one published paper on water purification amounts to a scientific career in Water resource management
 * 1) that he " participated in Black Lives Matter rallies in Denver and Aurora, and expressed solidarity with George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Trayvon Martin, and Breonna Taylor in an Instagram video shortly afterwards.[10]"
 * 2) that he " named poet and Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, writer and activist Jessica Mitford, and Instagram-based writer, Lindsay O'Connel as his literary influences.
 * 3) that "On multiple occasions, Sudev has identified PennState researcher, Stephanie Butler Velegol, on whose work his research is based on, as is his biggest inspiration in science alongside Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev and Indian rocket-scientist, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam"  DGG ( talk ) 16:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - as per the detailed analysis done above. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 13:47, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Don't Delete - Looking through the page, the uncited claims listed in the above analysis have now either been removed or properly cited. Following subsequent investigation, the news media sources listed above as "self-serving local pseudo interviews" appear to be prominent, well-circulated publishers in their respective target regions- primarily, Madhyamam, Times of Oman and Rocky Mountain PBS. I see no proof as to the cited claims being lies. Further investigation required. EJaunper (talk) 00:42, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Agree with, self-promotion, so fails GNG. QuantumRealm  (meow • pawtrack) 11:08, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like an advertisement piece fails WP:GNG. Purosinaloense</b> <b style="color:#004C54">T/K</b> 11:50, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like a promotion piece with lots of self-promotion. Nothing really notable on the article. Participating in Black Lives Matter rallies, that are attended by millions of people, is not notable at all. The claim that the book is among the best selling is Oman could make it notable, but I fail to find any references to support this statement. Him trying some novel technology and create a paper about it is interesting, but is not notable. SunDawn (talk) 11:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as others have already said. -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
