Does not meet WP:GNG, lack of in-depth coverage in independent RS. A search per WP:BEFORE did not turn up any significant coverage. Most of the sources are about his company Lalitha Jewellery. The majority of the available sources primarily focus on the subject's company, Lalitha Jewellery.  Akshith manya  talk 15:55, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - Coatrack for the company. Coverage of him is not significant. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:22, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment The above user CNMa1141 deleted a reliable news source of The New Indian Express and removed an important point of 110 Billion from the page. Thats not an appropriate edit Anbupaithal (talk) 04:13, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It is absolutely appropriate when the reference fails WP:NEWSORGINDIA and is more about the company than the subject of the page. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Hans India article, Sakshi article, Times of India Samayam Telugu article, DT Next article all covers his life story. Moreover he is the chairman of a well known jewellery chain in South India with around 50 outlets and around 110 Billion turnover. Anbupaithal (talk) 04:10, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with CNMall41 statement Worldiswide (talk) 05:24, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. The Hans, Sakshi, Samayam Telugu and DT Next references are all interviews, and therefore WP:PRIMARY sources. Nearly all of the reliable secondary sources I can find on him are about the company, and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The one exception is some brief allegations of him being linked to a 2020 legal matter of Dilip Chhabria, , but in all that doesn't amount to SIGCOV. Wikishovel (talk) 08:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment More content and references has been added. new references with significant coverage about he becoming viral in social media, he as brand ambassador of Lalitha Jewellery on TV Ads etc added. His dialogue Dabbulu Evariki Oorike Raavu went very popular through out Andhra Pradesh. Also his philanthrophy has been added. Everything with significant coverage from news articles from TV9 Telugu, ABP News, Sakshi etc has been added. Also his connection with actress Savitri Ganesan is also added. Definetly passes WP:GNG Anbupaithal (talk) 17:06, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete:Per nominator and Wikishovel. Fails GNG. The claim that his dialogue Dabbulu Evariki Oorike Raavu went very popular through out Andhra Pradesh and he becoming viral in social media are not valid for notability. Nothing useful hit in a google search. We would have a million articles in wikipedia if we are to include everyone who becomes viral. 42.104.155.220 (talk) 17:25, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment : Added controversy section with significant coverage and added extra secondary news sources as well Anbupaithal (talk) 02:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * ●Weak Keep- The article is well sourced thanks to @Anbupaithal, but it not in good condition & would require a rewrite. PaulGamerBoy360 (talk) 23:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * also seems like a WP:Walled Garden PaulGamerBoy360 (talk) 23:33, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete There's a minister with the same name that resigned. Coverage of this person is just interviews and confirmation of life events (got married, gave money to charity) and business activities (is in television commercials), without really saying why this individual is notable. Vague sort of PROMO for a local businessman. Oaktree b (talk) 00:14, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep-: There is good local coverage.--AAonlyA (talk) 21:15, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Some of these sources, as stated above, are interviews, which are primary and non-independent. Additionally, some sources don't even mention the subject, but rather the company or business itself, which fails significant coverage of the subject. (And same goes for passing mentions.) So really, I can't find any sources that are reliable, independent, and has significant coverage of the subject. And no, TV9 Telugu isn't a reliable source. Tails   Wx  02:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
