 * Keep Hello, everyone! I am the creator of the nominated article. First of all, I want to thank Usedtobecool for pointing out the supposed flaws. I understand that you have some concerns over the notability and I want to address it. The person in the article was heading multiple multi-million dollar companies such as Unilever and LafargeHolcimand he's a columnist on multiple main stream Indian news outlets (He also launched multiple important newspapers in our country). His articles are putting out a significant impact on Indian politics. Please refer the references if you want to fact check my statements. I personally think he's a notable person but I want what's best for Wikipedia. I know the admins are trying to do their job and I sincerely respect it. If there are any suggestions or questions then please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you and have a great day ahead! - Call me Karthik 😉🤞 (talk • contribs) 12:22, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I completely agree with what Call me Karthik 😉🤞 has said. He is a notable columnist. He has contributed a lot in media outlets. just check the facts cited and short research to be done.Divineplus (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 20:33, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to mention a source and explain how it supports notability, or provide WP:THREE that need no explanation. Usedtobecool ☎️ 02:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I will link a bunch of sources, please have a look. As I said before, he was heading multiple multi-million dollar companies such as Unilever, LafargeHolcim, Birla Corporation, etcetera. Source #1, Source #2, Source #3. He gives interviews and shares his opinions on biggest news outlets in India. Sources: Source #1, Source #2, Source #3. He's also a columist in multiple outlets who has authored hundreds of articles. Source #1, Source #2, Source #3. You can use Muck Rack to see all the articles he has authored. I hope the above sources assists you to take a right decision. If you still have any questions then please feel free to ping me. Regards - Call me Karthik 😉🤞 (talk • contribs) 06:24, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTINHERITED. Not WP:SIGCOV, Not WP:INDEPENDENT, neither SIGCOV nor INDEPENDENT. It's not what he does, it's what other's write about what he does (in this case, nothing). Ridiculous, Ridiculous, Ridiculous. Again, doesn't matter what he's written, when others haven't written about his writing. Ridiculous, Ridiculous, Ridiculous. No I can not use Muck Rack for anything; neither can you or anyone else, not on Wikipedia. My opinion is you should stay far away from writing WP:BLPs for a considerable length of time.

 * Delete: Non of the secondary sources give in-depth coverage on the subject, in some cases the source is just an article he has written himself. Fails WP:SIGCOV DEFCON5 (talk) 04:09, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep the subject appears to be notable.Advait.kansal (talk) 08:56, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Appearances can be deceiving. For example, to an untrained eye, WP:AFDs can look like a vote. Usedtobecool ☎️ 16:39, 14 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete This is a common confusion with journalists I feel. People may perceive that a journalist writing for reliable sources would count as sources but they don't. The subject is writing about something else. For notability, the source should be about them and not written by them. If we want to look from WP:Creative point of view, a journalist would become notable if any of their story itself becomes a news of other stories or at least is referred to frequently by other reliable sources (a bit of WP:NMEDIA here in my view). Sources here are not discussing him or talking about his journey except the usual announcements which have no merit at all. And now that there is a business angle, I would further exercise caution and wouldn't even want to propose evaluation under WP:BASIC and would restrict myself to evaluate with WP:GNG which is clearly being failed here.

 * Delete – seems like the sort of person who should be notable, but having looked fairly thoroughly for sources I'm pretty confident that there's nothing here. As Nomadic notes, we need coverage of him, not coverage by him, and I'm seeing little of that. The remainder of the sourcing seems unreliable; my searches find nothing substantial. Fails WP:CREATIVE, WP:NBIO, and the GNG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:17, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The person is notable but there is a lack of coverage about the person. The references cited are mostly about articles published by him. More reliable sources mentioning about him is required for notability 007sak (talk) 06:54, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
