 * Delete Discounting the refbombed links about the cricket series, it appears to me that the following are the only ones worth consideration. Hindu article about an impropriety inquiry has nothing usable per WP:BLPCRIME. The Mid-day article is clearly labeled as "Brand Media". The Outlook article is an interview. The Economic Times article carries a disclaimer that it is an opinion piece. Hemantha (talk) 07:55, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

This can actually establish absolute notability and has pass WP:GNG Again, most of the sources are independent reliable source with a significant coverage. Katobara (talk) 24:33, 06 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep- This article has been properly sourced and thus passes for WP:GNG. The sources provided are credible under WP:RS and WP:AFSL : The Hindu, Times of India, and other cited sources. More importantly, this deletion may be of result of frustration or competition as the user who nominated the page for deletion was created on the same day and after account creation, he made 11 edits on the first day and 7 of them are for AfD. Check user contribution from here. How crazy it is that a new user who starts their editing directly by deleting the article without prior editing knowledge and understanding? How a user with 0 edits understands what's paid editing or non-notable on Wikipedia? Sound fishy, please check out it too. I want to bring this information to the decision making admin. Also, please reconsider the deletion of other nominated pages by the user Balchandra Upendra. Daringsmith (talk) 05:42, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
