India Book of Records

Deleted in AfD discussion in 2015. The current version of the article is apparently different from the deleted one (per this), but it has the exact same issues: there is no coverage at all of the book in secondary sources, let alone significant coverage. I have just removed a bunch of reference links to various short newspaper reports about records being entered into the book, for example this and this. I am not able to find any independent coverage, and so WP:GNG is not met. I guess WP:CORPDEPTH also applies as it is a commercial product, and that is even further away from being satisfied. bonadea contributions talk 14:59, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

 * delete most world record books are just a whos who of who can pay the most/make up whatever new record to get in. This is no different. Praxidicae (talk) 15:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I've left a similar comment at . This doesn't add up. This company and a bunch of other are all connected to an organization named "World Records University". The URL for the .com redirects to the .co.uk page which is boldly emblazoned with "Registered Under Govt.of United Kingdom. Registration No. 284666862". A search in the UK companies office yields no trace (although there are a number of similar sounding companies). This looks to be WP:MADEUP to me. In any case, nothing I can find indicates it meets the criteria for notability, fails NCORP/GNG.
