I do not believe that the article's subject currently meets WP:BIO inclusion requirements.

The cited sources are predominantly primary source articles written by the article's subject (and the cited book is self-published); by themselves I don't believe these constitute the kind of independent coverage needed for notability. A Google News search turns up many more articles Jasra has written, but only a handful that are about him: the best is probably this, an interview. There is also the cited "invesp" source, which does mention him (ranking him 39th in an editorial list of web marketers in 2009), but I do not believe that these two isolated pieces of coverage are, sufficient to demonstrate notability either.

 * Delete - As the nominator states, there's a lot of articles written by him in WebProNews, but coverage about him is scant. I would discount the Invesp articel as a source.  This is a company that builds eCommerce sites so it's not clear what sort of real editorial decision making goes into its list.  The WebProNews article is also problematic as he is being interviewed in a publication for which he does an awful lot of writing, which is to say that I discount it on the basis of it not being sufficiently independent.  The Adage ranking is some algorithm derived listing so there is no decision to notability to how it works, and in any case, it actually provide no other information than a ranking so it fails to be significant coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 16:27, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
