Rahul Mewawalla
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * BLP with WP:V issues (fails verification, misleading sentences, promo), and several of the sources are interviews or his page so not fully independent. Yes there's some secondary sources. There's some WP:LOCAL to San Fran, with local sources.
 * Digging deeper it seems he's a business advisor/mentor.
 * May not pass WP:GNG, but what's he notable for? Doing promotion as an advisor is his claim of notability? (see WP:42).
 * (separately: a promo article, undisclosed (recently blocked) paid editor against TOU. BLP previously deleted.) Widefox ; talk 02:36, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment previous AfD had blocked socks Sockpuppet investigations/Jimbollins/Archive, and creator of this was recently blocked for promo, and the other account is an WP:SPA created the day the article was speedied. Widefox ; talk 09:40, 24 February 2015 (UTC)


 * delete - as noted in the article, several of the sources do not mention the subject at all, and the others are either primary sources or interviews with Mewawalla about projects he has been involved in. There is no coverage of the person, no articles about him, and so he does not meet WP:GNG. The fact that the article was created by a known paid shill doesn't exactly strengthen its case. --bonadea contributions talk 10:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt per above. --MelanieN (talk) 21:46, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
