Rishabh S Shah

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not pass WP:BASIC. Subject's claim to fame is having founded IIMUN, a Model United Nations conference in India, similar to the 400 Model UN conferences in the world. Google search results yielded little beyond what's already in the article except trivial mentions. Two people bearing the same name also appear in the results: a 14-year old chess player (1, 2)), and a sophomore in biology in the US (3). Beyond the trivial mentions that Shah receives due to his Model UN conference (4, 5, 6, 7, etc.), Shah's best coverage is a single piece in the Economic Times from an unnamed reporter (who could have used some copyediting at the end). To his credit, the subject is the primary object of this article. However, the article claims that the conference is noteworthy for being hosted at the UN, but so are 10 other Model UN conferences. This significantly calls into question the reliability of the source, given that such information is widely available, and suggests that the piece is promotional in nature too.

 * Delete - Promotional piece which only exists to glorify the subject. Per the nom, it is evident that his MUN is not the only one to be conducted in the UN, questioning the veracity of the facts in the ET article, which is the only piece that speaks in some length about the said person.
