Ravi Kumar Panasa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Media CEO of insufficient notability. Main source appears to be an interview that is not even accessible anymore, otherwise passing mentions. Jumped out of AfC, which may not have been a good idea. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Person fails director notability. Reference used are very weak.  When combining references, it only has 6 references, 1 of them links to IMDB, which Wikipedia doesn't consider a good source.  Also reference 1 about the interview loads a blank page for me. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i>  (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 15:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

The link to the interview was working up until last week but I've removed it and replaced it with another link. RK Media and RK Panasa are an important part of the Telegu Film Industry. I've added information about an alleged drug racket to make the article seem more neutral than it was before. These references also talk about RK Panasa. I've removed the IMDB link. Even if we keep one worthy paragraph on him in Wikipedia, it will be great because the Telegu film industry and the people who work in it get very little recognition as it is.

 * Note:The above user had moved the article from draft, bypassing the review process. Looking at their talk page, there were numerous reviewers who was the draft isn't ready for main space. Also the reviews raised concern about conflict of interest and notability. said "Complete advertisement, promotional in content and tone. Very weakly-sourced. Single-purpose author almost certainly has an undeclared Conflict of interest. Tagging for deletion."


 * Also, there was little to no change to the article after moved it back to draft space. Pinging involved users.  Hey, you were involved in reviewing the draft version of this article.  Maybe you might wanna chime in to this deletion? --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i>  (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 03:25, 18 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:GNG. Sources mentioned in RS are reliable. Accesscrawl (talk) 07:49, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete references are merely passing mentions with no in-depth coverage, fails DIRECTOR and WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 07:57, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

I removed a different paid editing declaration from my user page unrelated to this one. I am not pursuing that topic anymore. I have declared it on the talk page of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snehratna (talk • contribs) 17:17, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The article doesn’t even remotely resemble what it was before reviews. It has been rewritten and worked on several times. No reason was given for removal back to the draft space the last time. Apologies if I made a mistake. Wasn’t trying to bypass anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snehratna (talk • contribs) 13:35, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * So you want to keep or delete? ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus  (talk to me) 13:37, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Note: You should not remove the paid editing declaration from your user page, and you must declare the edit immediately above this one as a paid edit. See WP:PAID Smallbones( smalltalk ) 17:11, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You said you have been paid for creating this article. I find it a bit dodgy that you have blanked your user page declaring that.  I have restore the declaration and added the one for Ravi Kumar Panasa --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i>  (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 20:10, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

I had declared that on my user page but my user page got deleted by someone else. I didn't delete it. Thank you for restoring the declaration but you've added another one for Campus Karma which I removed since I am not pursuing that topic as it didn't have enough notability. So I'm going to remove that declaration. Snehratna (talk)
 * Delete - if you eliminate the arrest for drugs - there doesn't seem to be anything notable here. As an alternative to "delete", you could increase the material on the drugs arrest, but that could run into BLP problems (e.g. WP:BLP1E is a possibility). Overall a very ragged, problematic article.

I found the Wikipedia page to a subject mentioned in the RK Panasa article, Nara Rohit. The references used here are interviews, some pages do not exist anymore. Can someone please help me understand why there is a discrepancy? I mean no offense, I'm new to Wikipedia. I want to understand the process better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snehratna (talk • contribs) 17:33, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, and fails all applicable policies by a long way. <span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:16px;color:hsl(205, 98%, 55%);">GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:13, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete overly promotional article on a businessman who specializes in promotion. Wikipedia is not, contrary to what some believe, an acceptable platform for self promotion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:25, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

The language used is neutral and the sources are secondary, verifiable and reliable. I asked why the page Nara Rohit is allowed to exist on Wikipedia when it doesn't have any notable references to which no one responded. I fail to understand why no one can explain that to me. I may have been paid to edit but I personally don't know this person and I have no bias. But from my research, he is and continues to be an important part of the Telegu Film industry and has also acted in a movie. If you can give me a reason why Nara Rohit's page that is riddled with citations that do not exist, are not reliable or verifiable can continue to exist and is not considered self-promotion, I will tag the Wikipedia page for RK Panasa for deletion.
