I know how this AFD debate will go, barring extraordinary events, but bringing it here to get a formal consensus to delete so next time it's recreated we can just delete-and-salt it under G4. Self-promotional vanity page for a youth activist, whose Wordpress blog invites his followers to use his Wikipedia page to contact him, so this gets repeatedly edited by an assortment of single purpose accounts. Needless to say, nothing remotely approaching a source to establish notability exists. &#8209; Iridescent 20:23, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Also, in view of this article's history it should be salted without further ado.--Aspro (talk) 01:00, 14 November 2016 (UTC
 * Delete and salt. Not a notable person, does not meet WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN, and Wikipedia is not a free webhost. --bonadea contributions talk 07:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Question. I have now ✅ the account that recreated this article. Therefore, the article can be deleted per G5, which I would typically do. However, I think you prefer the AfD route procedurally in which case I'll defer to your judgment. Please let me know if my assumption is correct. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I prefer the AFD route purely because it then provides a method for any re-recreations (under whatever name) to be speedily deleted without the usual suspects bleating about "admin abuse" because "it has a claim of significance". Per my initial comments, I have no doubt at all that this will be snow-closed as delete. &#8209; Iridescent 18:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete and salt Non-notable person - deleted article was being promoted/protected by Socks/Meats/friends, so needs salting. His "Official website" https://incpratikbavi.wordpress.com/about/ includes "Contact Pratik Bavi via. Wikipedia Pratik Bavi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratik_Bavi " - Which I raised at the Help-desk before the article was deleted last time. - Arjayay (talk) 14:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
