Ritesh Malik

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Surviving part of a walled garden of promotional entries. Founded a number of nonnotable internet companies, sand a promotional article with irrelevant claims " journey of Transformation of India into a Product Nation."  DGG ( talk ) 23:31, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and I comment so soon because I myself had planned to nominate for deletion for several days now as the article is simply an advertisement and was in fact apparently part of a PR campaign, which I have outstandingly been getting s lot of "but Ritesh Malik's article exists!" which caused some concerns, especially considering the now-nominated for deletion of his companies (which were also blatant advertisements). Everything here is simply PR and republished PR, something of which is not surprising at all for these subjects, and it's in fact so common, that we cannot take bare and basic named news sources as a confirmed given of notability and substance; the Forbes itself then actually simply states an apparent self-autobio. There are no compromises when it comes to such blatancy and there's nothing to suggest we should start accepting said blatancy. SwisterTwister   talk  01:55, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: reads promotional. Involvement of pr agency and undisclosed paid editing cannot be denied. Looks like Indian entrepreneurs are more interested in starting a Wikipedia article before the 'start-up' itself. I didn't analyze every sources available for this person, but whatever did I see make me believe that it doesn't meet our general notability guideline as well. Any request at del-review claiming that 'tone has been fixed' should be rejected and requester, directed at wp:afc venue. Anup   [Talk]  08:20, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Such promotional articles go against the premise of an encyclopedia. I would recommend closing this Afd as delete with no prejudice against early recreation provided RS are provided. Lourdes  03:16, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
