Obligatory afd submission. I don't what the version that was AfD'd before was like, but it seems like this draft has enough reliable, secondary sources. Voting keep as nominator. Prisencolin (talk) 05:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't know what you mean by obligatory submission (unless you mean you are bringing it here because it is a recreation; I don't think we have a rule that recreations HAVE to go to AfD, through it is not a bad idea). However, I do not see any reliable, secondary sources. The subject is mentioned in passing, never in-depth, and many sources are low quality; many read like press releases or are based on some (ex. ). The best source I see here is and it does not look particularly impressive (and it is not about him but about how politics affected one of his businesses). This reads and looks like a spam entry, using Bombardment tactic. In fact, if this is deleted, I would like to ask the deleting admin to screenshot this so we can add this to that essay as a textbook illustration. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  06:06, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It was about to get speedied for WP:G7 but I thought this draft meets WP standards so I listed it at AfD instead.--Prisencolin (talk) 01:43, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete spam and duplication of previously deleted content and ABSOLUTELY a classic case of Bombardment!!!-- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:31, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I'm been doing 06:58, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Not Delete can you let me know what should be the criteria for notability. I don't think so this person is not notable enough as per your guidelines. All due refrences are provided. Most of coverages are in vernacular langauges which ofcourse won't be accepted by wiki norms and that's why they are not put forth. All mentions company are huge companies, having international recognizations. so i don't thik so notability shouldl be an issue to wikipedia. I have also put lots fo valied references about him.

 * "India Times: Last month, Indian entrepreneur Sandeep Garg, through his company Sandeep Gold Resources SARL, acquired seven exploration permits for $4.4 million from another miner, Golden Rim Resources, in western and southern Mali. One of these projects has confirmed reserves of seven tonnes of gold along with other discoveries, claims Sandeep Garg. The gold deal has been structured in such a way that Garg makes payments in three instalments. He plans to raise the $4.4 million from banks. 'We planned to raise these funds internally and by way of debt from local banks in Mali. We also have plans to invest $15 million in the next one year and start producing gold in a year. On an average, we expect production costs to be $600 an ounce,' he told ET."
 * "The Hindu: “We have invested almost $100 million in the mine,” said Sandeep Garg, the Gurgaon-based former scrap merchant who set up Sahara Mining. “The total, including a fully integrated steel plant, will be more than $300 million.” ... The land is also home to hundreds of villagers who view the expansion of the mine with trepidation and are asking how they gain from the project. ... As licences and land become harder to acquire in India, businessmen like Mr. Garg are investing in African countries eager for big-ticket foreign investment. Africa could produce 10 per cent of the world’s iron-ore by 2025, according to a report by market research firm, Frost & Sullivan, and currently accounts for between three and four per cent of global supply. West Africa has emerged as the new frontier for exploration with 15 major mining projects, with a capital expenditure of $36.9 billion, in progress. ... Sandeep Garg built his network in West Africa in the 1990s by exporting scrap from countries like Senegal, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau and Mali to buyers in India. “The major source of scrap in Africa is old vehicles,” said Mr. Garg, explaining his buyers were induction furnace operators in towns like Ghaziabad, Chennai and Raipur. India accounts for about 5 per cent of annual global scrap imports. ... “Africa is more comfortable as there is no competition,” Mr. Garg noted. “Infrastructure-wise, there are a lot of things they have to build.”"
 * Being cited by a few sources, which also describe one's business/career in few sentences, is not enough to be in an encyclopedia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:10, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It meets GNG so it belongs on Wikipedia. This isn't Britannica.--Prisencolin (talk) 20:54, 26 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non notable person. Being mentioned in newspapers isn't the same as meeting the WP:N criteria.  Yinta n  19:35, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Subject lacks substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Thus fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. If it is created one more time, G7 it, and salt the title. Anup   [Talk]  19:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete:Mentioned in newspapers in a few lines and in minor websites do not constitute WP:Notability.
 * Yeah,you can put vernacular news reports!
