Praneet Sah (PNTSH)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reason: Non notable person citing self published sources, press releases and unreliable sources. Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 18:33, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I've read about "Praneet Sah" on internet and his articles are published in technology magazine every month. Isn't this notable enough? Moreover he's been a winner in reality TV show who's video is available as proof(I can give you link, not youtube, in fact fron NDTV's website, which is an Indian news agency). I think that this makes him notable enough to be o Wikipedia. Dahano (talk) 18:49, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Please provide the links of the third party sources that you have.  Please note that, a person is not considered notable in wiki just because he is winner of a competition or writes blog or an internet celebrity. People are presumed notable in wiki if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. The sources you included in the article fall short of all these. - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 19:18, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I've read the "winner of a competition" page as linked by you and to tell you, the contest was on National level, organized by Nokia and Microsoft along with NDTV and was also telecasted on National News Television i.e. NDTV Profit. Following are the two links for the video as proof and they are from official NDTV's website itself: He has also been featured/published in Digit Magazine which is the India's largest technology magazine. Since the articles are in printed form in magazine, so still I tried searching on google and landed up on the following articles written by him in the February, 2015 edition of Digit Magazine. Page 1 http://www.readwhere.com/read/c/4415712 and Page 2 http://www.readwhere.com/read/c/4415666 And I've seen his articles since past 1 year.
 * 1) 1 Semi-Finals(selection round)--> http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/nokia-your-wish-is-my-app/your-wish-is-my-app-the-last-stop-before-the-finals/270020
 * 2) 2 Finals --> http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/nokia-your-wish-is-my-app/your-wish-is-my-app-the-final-countdown/271383

These are the resources from third genuine party which does makes him notable, rest is all your wish. Dahano (talk) 16:58, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - None of the sources you provided is independent source. NDTV was the media partner of the show (closely associated with the show) hence they published the video in their site. They did not publish it as news article. The second link shows an article published by the subject of the wiki article. It is self published article not third party/independent source. So the subject fails WP:GNG. - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 17:47, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Since you want news form of article then I googled and found these links related to the "Nokia your wish is my app" contest and also his name is specified in those links, please check them: Those are news article and in written form, I believe that these qualify as sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dahano (talk • contribs) 11:17, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete : A wikipedia article for just owning a youtube channel and winning some competitions!!?? Subject should be notable enough with significant achievements to have a Wikipedia page. This subject is not falling in any of the categories. Please delete. Athachil (talk) 13:07, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - Again fails significant coverage. Subject with such trivial mentions in articles can not be considered notable. Also some of the sources are not acceptable as they are unreliable and press releases. - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 14:30, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -It blatantly fails each and every Wikipedia's notability guideline. Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  21:47, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Comment - Should probably be run through some India based search engines. Edit: Given Anupmehra supports deletion and I know he/she knows how to use India related search engines, changed to delete. That aside, I'm leaning toward delete as the sources don't really prove notability. The third one and the first one read like press releases. &eta;oian   &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  07:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
