Rekhi family

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Reads like self-promotion with no sources exclusively providing coverage to this family. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 06:13, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I wrote this article and it is definitely not self-promotion because I am not related to the family at all. I am an investigative journalist working from Dubai. As far as sources are concerned, there are more than 58 sources and a lot of them are from reputable sites like Forbes, Hindustan Times, India Today etc. Delhisentinel44 (talk) 19:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. Clearly just self-promotion with no reputable sources. Please delete as soon as possible. ArdynOfTheAncients (talk) 15:16, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Do not delete article. The article should definitely not be deleted. Just a simple google search of Vaibhav Rekhi brings thousands of articles. He has married one of the most influential activists and actresses of our time, Dia Mirza. As far as the family as a whole is concerned, the Partition archives and other sources demonstrate their importance. And of course with Vaibhav's immense publicity it has brought the family to light. Their connections in starting companies like BlackRock and creating foundations at Wharton, sourced from Wharton's own publications, is also bringing immense glory to India and should be shared. Just like Delhisentinel44, even I am not connected to the family. I am doing a series on influential people during Partition and where they are now and came across this article.

 * Do not delete article. I just reviewed the article again and other notable users have also edited it without any issues. Also sources from JSTOR have been added to increase the credibility.

 * Delete Looked through a few of the sources and for the most part they have nothing to do with this family, or do not mention the family. Not Notable and except for a few SPA no one else has added to this article. -- VViking Talk Edits 19:49, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Don't delete While I understand your perspectives that the article should be deleted considering the sources do not directly speak about the subject, I think the article should actually not be deleted because there are a lot of sources and I have gone through many of them and they don't speak about the family as a whole but they do talk about the person within the family for which they are cited. Moreover, I don't feel that this is self-publicity because none of the sources are interviews of members they are other publications. Also the Vaibhav Rekhi argument is solid.

 * Delete Very informative about wealth and status in India. Thanks to the author for collating the genealogy (no thanks for the promotional text). Wikipedia is not the place though, since there's absolutely no indication that there is any WP:RS on the family as a whole and the page is a huge violation of [WP:OR]]. I suggest Familypedia on Fandom as a suitable repository for this kind of info. Hemantha (talk) 07:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Individuals might be notable, but the family itself is not notable beyond some private genealogical interest. There are very few families that are overall notable. These are either ruling familties, families of established nobility and the rare instances where multiple generations of a family are notable in the same field (e.g. the Bernoullis or the Schneersons). Unless there's a fair few independent articles on members of a family who are independently notable, there is no reason for an article on the family. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
