 * Keep Failing NPOL does not provide grounds for deletion, it simply means the subject does not meet those specific criteria for presumed notability, not notability in general. Sources provided by  above satisfy passing of the GNG. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:00, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete does not pass GNG Puglia1999 (talk) 23:46, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Reasons below:


 * 1) The Indian Express source says 'Express News service' and hence, not independent. IE is a reputed source and when they are not putting a byline, it means they don't want to take accountability of it.
 * 2) Same goes for Tribune
 * 3) Business standard says Press Trust of India. Not independent.
 * 4) Firstpost says FP Staff but in the end says 'inputs from agencies' which dilutes the independence. It means, some information was fed to FP that they used to write this. If it had some independent commentary, it could have been used to assert notability.
 * 5) NDTV is again Press Trust of India, likely to be fed by the party or his media team.
