Nitin Sandesara

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Resources are not reliable independent. Most of the coverage are press releases and from one news website Livmint. Fails WP:GNG Numan765 (talk) 13:13, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

 * comment while Nitin himself doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG, the Sandesara brothers or Sterling Biotech seems a valid topic. See Livemint, The Wire, India Today, Economic Times, for example. Eddie891 Talk Work 14:29, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep because essentially he is notable for being a Fugitive Economic Offender, this puts him in the same category as Lalit Modi, Mehul Choksi, Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya, all of whom are notable enough to have their own separate Wikipedia articles. And strongly disagree with the claim that sources are very weak because all the major newspapers of India ranging from The Hindu to the Times of India have reported on him. A simple google search makes it clear that he is quite notable enough. Oskosst (talk) 14:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - sources are very weak. Simply being a fugitive economic offender does not make for notability. My guess is that there must be thousands of such persons across the globe. The other examples quoted have other much more significant claims to notability. In any case WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is relevant here. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 19:38, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

* Delete - The details provided are not accurate and news provided are from single source which raises question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.70.86.93 (talk) 17:25, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:57, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - The details provided are accurate and the sources are varied and reliable. There seems to be a concerted effort to keep unsavoury details of Nitin Sandesara's life hidden from the general public. This is precisely why the section on him being a Fugitive Economic Offender was removed from the article and now this article itself has been nominated for deletion. 103.68.221.63 (talk) 03:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * comment - It is very unfortunate that unflattering information (backed by reliable sources) surrounding his status as a Fugitive Economic Offender are being censored out of his article. A simple Google search reveals the truth of his misdeeds, those same truths are being censored out of Wikipedia. It has been pointed out by [|reliable sources] that the fraud perpetrated by Nitin Sandesara is even larger than the fraud perpetrated by Nirav Modi. That alone should be sufficient to make him notable. It is like finding out about a Ponzi scheme that is even larger than the one perpetrated by Charles Ponzi himself. 103.68.221.91 (talk) 03:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Poorly written article with no useful information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.70.86.93 (talk) 03:13, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

* Keep - a simple Google search reveals that he is the Bernie Madoff of India, which makes him quite notable. 2402:3A80:CDA:96A9:6D9E:FD5B:CD9E:195A (talk) 03:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Agreed about sources being very weak. The points mentioned to keep the article has no relevance with this because there are many more articles for other information in its respective categories.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rakeshkraja (talk • contribs) 06:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
