Rohit Ugale
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

An article on a non-notable businessperson which relies exclusively on sponsored coverage. The DNA article has a disclaimer at the bottom that says "This is featured content". Other articles carry similar disclaimers/tags: Hindustan Times "Brand Post", Mid Day "Partnered Content", Zee News "Featured Content". APN News and Nestracklive are unreliable sources that are notorious for publishing paid-for spam. The previous AFD had four keep votes from IP editors and a rather suspicious non-admin closure by a newbie editor. M4DU7 (talk) 12:51, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete non notable. Oaktree b (talk) 00:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nomination. Nothing more to say. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 02:06, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ugh, I thought this was deleted already. Lots of paid for publicity but no actual independent coverage. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 06:30, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As per nomination non-notable businessman. Bapinghosh (talk) 18:39, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as it was established in previous discussion that he is notable and meets guidelines. I don't know why to repeat the activity and sudden influx of Indian editors with grudge seems suspicious. Anyways, I stand with my point like previous discussion, he is notable businessman in his state and sources are local in his local language which we can't read. Gondulfo Cortesi (talk) 22:20, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:GNG. A simple search in Hindi language brought a lot of coverage. For example, recently he has received an award, not sure if this alone can make him pass WP:ANYBIO, but sources are there. 82.129.105.133 (talk) 13:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)


 * KEEP The person is notable and has featured in many news and magazines. One of the independent sources I found is here https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/outlook-spotlight-big-day-for-rohit-ugale-young-businessman-award-at-international-glory-awards-by-sonu-sood/393499 and easily passes WP:BIO Georgetgeorge 17:25, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yet another obvious undisclosed PR blurb (that too conveniently published less than 24 hours ago), taking this excerpt from it for example; "SATMAT Group has been consistently working on the way of development in the field of IT. They have been collaborating with investors and other companies for enhancing their work. Started in 2017 from a very small application today, SATMAT is a company providing IT solutions for people to make their work easy and quick."The Outlook magazine CEO has also admitted to entering into agreements to provide paid news coverage (and attempted to defend it), so there's that.

 * Strong Delete Two WP:SPAs and an IP editor who has never edited. That is non-notable business award. Fails WP:SIGCOV.   scope_creep Talk  20:41, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - This appears to be a promotional advertorial article with sources that seem like paid PR "news"placement. WP:GNG fail. The SPAs do not help credibility here. Netherzone (talk) 23:13, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete the last source says it all: Know more about Tamas Boruah, the man behind verd media. Byline: BrandMedia.01:39, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, as no one has been able to provide WP:THREE sources towards WP:GNG. I also want to add a request that regardless of result, only an admin close this nomination, in order to avoid any possible appearance of irregularity. BilledMammal (talk) 12:52, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
