 * Strong Keep He is the Director of an Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore which makes him pass WP:N by himself and its public face.He is the noted as one the India's top Business Leaders to watch out for both the Gulf News as Taking on the mantle:GN:India:Focus and Businessworld as Leaders to watch for note him for that and is the projected successor of Vijay Mallya of the United Breweries Group amongst others.A Google search will give over 800000 hits for him.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:47, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep As pointed out by the user above, the subject has a certain degree of high importance, for being the son of Vijay Mallya as well as emerging business partner (or successor) of his enterprise. He has an active and popular role in news and society as can be cited by Indian news papers. I can present them here if requested. VIVEK RAI : Friend?  15:34, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong delete: If you keep this article, then create article of every son's of high personalities :P He was in news earlier because of his relationship with Deepika. That's it, not much notable to warrant a article, neither a redirect. Wikipedia is not a newspaper or a diary to keep info on what all he does and what doesn't. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 19:15, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The article was created because he is the Director of an Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore and further puzzled how this can be  a single event as per the oppose below.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:38, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTNEWS says: Even when an individual is notable, not all events he is involved in are. For example, news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to overdetailed articles that look like a diary. Not every match played, goal scored or hand shaken is notable enough to be included in the biography of a person. WP:NOTDIARY says that Even when an individual is notable, not all events he is involved in are. For example, news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to overdetailed articles that look like a diary. Not every match played, goal scored or hand shaken is notable enough to be included in the biography of a person.
 * Still you feel it qualifies? -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 08:28, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Being the Director of an Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore or a Baseball or Football club ,or a company is not an Event hence WP:NOTNEWS or WP:NOTDIARY does not apply here it will be going on annually it is not a one time occurrence this is what makes him notable not merely  because he is Vijay Mallya's son or because he has a lot of goggle hits or has been in the news. .Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:38, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a simple opinion, I have never heard neither I hear about him Siddharth Mallya when IPL is not in progress. Talking about Google hits, "zerg rush" has also attained quite a number of Google hits, but we can not have an article on it. I'm highlighting again what WP:NOTDIARY says news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to overdetailed articles that look like a diary. May be we can have Siddharth's article later when he replaces his father as the chairman. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 14:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per Karthik and Adam. There has been coverage of only a single event pertaining to the subject, and that is insufficient to pass notability. It is not possible to create articles just because they are mentioned in hundreds of sources, there are other criteria to be taken into account. Secret of success  ( talk )  15:14, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment He is the Director of football club Mohun Bagan in addition to Royal Challengers Bangalore and this clearly passes WP:GNG and this can be clearly verified by independent reliable sources which are there in the article.The claim of notability is based on him being a Director of football club and cricket team .Anyway I leave the decision to the closing admin. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 06:49, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

notability needs to be established. Being the son of a media-savvy business tycoon or having MEDIA COVERAGE on "affair" with an actress is not enough to make this person notable. Plus, the article content is heavily based, copied and cited for reference from Mallya's own website(RCB).--Adamstraw99 (talk) 03:37, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

---That's the best point made here -> "May be we can have Siddharth's article later when he replaces his father as the chairman"..... And after a decade we will have an article on ARJUN TENDULKAR if he actually represents team India. But Not today only because he is son of Sachin Tendulkar. (The kid already has third party coverage as a future- promising batsman:-))--Adamstraw99 (talk) 15:12, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well said example. I will also add that I have never heard that he owns a football club, and hence lacks notability as far as my concern. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 18:50, 13 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The directorship is notable . How he may have qualifies for it is mone of our business. There are aequate references for the information.  DGG ( talk ) 08:22, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
