 * Speedy keep easily passes WP:GNG as Google News clearly shows. Rohit Bal is one of India's most famous fashion designers, and he has been in the news for as long as I can remember, which means probably decades. The Wikipedia article is actually pretty low-key, considering. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 11:18, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep – This should be an WP:SK1 and may be an WP:SK3 candidate. A quick Google News search, even limited to using the reliable sources search engine, reveals a ton of WP:SIGCOV that meets WP:BASIC and also verifies that this is a majorly-notable fashion designer. We are way past WP:THREE of the man    and his work   . Just The New York Times, alone, has been writing about him for over 20 years, describing him as "one of India's most talked-about designers"  and "one of India's leading fashion designers"  . Our article is very underdeveloped, it's true, but AfD is about the state of the sourcing, not the state of the article, and I honestly don't see how a WP:BEFORE search would have missed the notability of this article subject. – Levivich  05:37, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep There is enough non trivial coverage by multiple independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. The current version does not seem to be promotional. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:26, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
