 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The concerned writer has a minor work of short stories. Couldn't find a realible source which says the person is well-knowned in his field. The article further says he/she wrote a lyrics for a song. Can't locate his peers or successors, if he/she had any. This is a true example of promotion activity. The links incorporated in this article are of organisation or school, not having his/her name on websites. Why does it have weblinks of organistaions? Is he/she office bearer of any institutions?. It is a true example of WP:SPIP. Fails WP:AUTHOR,WP:ANYBIO. Even if it is notable, it fails, 'Stand-alone lists'. Therefore the page should be merged to his/her releveant work, if it's notable which is obviously not WP:BASIC or else deleted. It is pointless to have such article.

 * Delete -Subject may meet NAUTHOR #3 -..have created a well-known work which has been subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. -Sources,, . I've not been able to find the multiple, though. I believe, there might be some more sources on subject and theirs work back in 2005-06. Well, we may re-create it on availability of such sources.

 * Strong Delete -Created by subject -User:Shubhamxxx.gupta and maintained by many SPAs, it appears to be failing each and every applicable Wikipedia's notability guideline for lacking significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources.

 * Delete article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC or WP:Author. Have been unable to find verifiable evidence of notibility in line with WP:NRV and appears to be a WP:SPIP.  Looking at the history there appears to have been WP:OWN issues with this article.  Deletion notices have been removed on numerous occasions, see the view history tab of Shubham Gupta.  heres one from 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shubham_Gupta&diff=497587530&oldid=495057908 the most recent lot of deletion notices (or attempted deletion proposal) start on 1 Feb 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shubham_Gupta&diff=645097704&oldid=643883362  (tks to Mike V for doing a semi protect to stop the continous deletion of the afd notice.)

 * Delete. Not notable. Existing coverage is far too slender. Bad behavior by WP editors notwithstanding, if substantial coverage from independent reliable sources can be found, am willing to reconsider. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 14:13, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
