 * Keep... Looks fine. More than a trivial mention in sources. Meets general notability, though the article could do with adjusting prose and replacing some references. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: A more solid deletion rationale would have been welcome. Right now, we need to hear from more editors. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Delete. The article is mostly promo, with lots of non-notable awards listed, website refs, etc. 128.252.172.14 (talk) 21:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - based on a review of sources in the article and a search for sources, there does not seem to be significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Multiple sources also seem promotional; for example, Kanika Dewan: Meet the diva who designed floors of IGI's T3 terminal (Economic Times, 2013) is interview-based and seems to be promoting the business she 'vertically integrated' with her family's mining company, e.g. to "capitalise on the exclusive availability of exotic marbles and granite." Girl power (India Today, 2010) is primarily interview-based. Guinness World Record holder Kanika Dewan has done projects for Sultan of Oman, for Roman Abramovich, airports in India (American Bazaar, 2014) is an interview that begins with a brief summary overview of several projects. Larger than life (Khaleej Times, 2011) is about the Guiness World Record for the marble mosaic portrait, with quotes and recollections from Dewan. 'Corruption, contract enforcement major hurdles for ease of business' (Business Standard, 2016) is a report on a "discussion round in a session titled ‘India Means Business’, at the India Economic Summit, jointly organised by CII and World Economic Forum" that briefly covers what she discussed about corruption. 4 Indians make it to World Economic Forum global leaders list (Business Today, 2016) is a mention of her being listed without specific detail, and the Economic Times announcement is similar. In the non-independent source of Dewan's alma mater's Wharton Magazine, Dewan is quoted in 2019 saying "my zero tolerance to corruption in India finally paid off and I earned a reputation for whistle-blowing against bribery, within my industry, on a national level" but I have not otherwise found support for article content that describes Dewan as a campaigner against corruption. Overall, this seems WP:TOOSOON to develop a neutral and balanced article. Beccaynr (talk) 02:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
