Sagar Pradhan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this as an A7, but Pradhan just barely squeaks by A7 standards because the article mentions some awards. I did try searching under his name, but couldn't bring anything for him, not even using the India WP's search engine. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete Absolutely no evidence of notability. His website mentions that he has received some awards from some organizations, but doesn't mention the name of those awards or why he received them.  His Google Scholar profiles lists some publications, none of which seem to be his own (Sagar Pradhan is not an uncommon name in India, and Google Scholar has attached the publications of his namesakes to his profile).  Also, from the username of the creator of the article, this looks like a WP:AUTOBIO. — Stringy Acid (talk) 11:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Per previous comments. Fails WP:GNG. His awards are a scholarship and an alleged internal company award. Google scholar mentions somebody else. It would also appear that the majority of edits are made by the subject of the article, a violation per WP:COI and using multiple IP's (from work and home), which is considered abuse per WP:SOCK. Here he is adding himself to the | March 1st page. Should have been speedily deleted when it was first tagged, but he removed the tag (the IP geolocates to Bhubaneswar, Odisha). Page should be salted as it was previously deleted on | 16 January 2015. David. moreno 72    11:29, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: The criteria for A7 is pretty low overall. My thought with taking this to AfD rather than fudging things a little is that if it goes through AfD then that's pretty much it for the article barring anything exceedingly major coming up in the future. It's more of a solid delete than A7 would be by itself. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  12:51, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Basically, when it comes to A7 they have far more leeway to recreate an article than they do with AfD. After it's deleted at AfD that's pretty much it. Salting from A7 tends to usually happen more when there are 2-4 attempts to create an article in a very short amount of time, to prevent the same person (or group of people) from being disruptive. When the page was deleted in 2015 it didn't have any mention of the awards, which was the only reason I'd declined the speedy and taken it to AfD. It was a weak assertion, but enough to where they might have been able to contest the speedy if it went to DRV. Basically, A7 only handles cases where there's nothing there that could hint at possible coverage out there. The award mention was vague and I definitely don't think that any of them would give notability on Wikipedia, but you can pass A7 on pretty weak assertions. I figured that since there were two new accounts that signed up, there was a higher possibility that they would argue to get the article restored, making an AfD probably inevitable and making the process go longer.
