Sidharth Kaul

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Neither this person nor his work are the subject of substantial coverage by multiple reliable sources, thus failing WP:BASIC and WP:ACADEMIC. His accomplishments also clearly fail WP:ANYBIO. The WP:LOTSOFSOURCES give either passing mention or none at all; several sources are related to this subject and don't count toward notability, and they generally fail to actually support the claims made in the article. Even when the subject is mentioned more than once, the actual topic of coverage (what the subject is talking about) is not himself, but something different. This article is also blatant promotion of one among many similar non-notable individuals in the coverage given; see also Rajni Kaul (his wife) for an indication of connected promotional pages.

 * Delete Google scholar finds nothing significant: 3 papers, cited 13, 3, and 1 times DGG (at NYPL) 19:47, 11 February 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (NYPL) (talk • contribs)


 * Delete - Apart from the fact that there seems to be nothing obvious out there which makes this person notable, the article was created by a person bearing his daughter's name, mentioned in the article. She also created an article on her mother, Rajni Kaul, which is also on the AfD pages at the moment. That is the sum total of her contributions to Wikipedia. WP:COI and WP:NPOV are both issues as well. The background of the family, whether distinguished or not, is irrelevant. Notability is not inherited.--Zananiri (talk) 15:14, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm sure his daighter is justly proud of her father's accomplishments but they just don't appear to meet our standards for articles about academics. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * DeleteThis article was created by his daughter to promote the entire family members. She also created the page of herself Nimisha Kaul, brother Neelaksh Kaul, and mother Rajni Kaul. Strongly recommend the deletion of the page, as the notability of the person not observed.Jussychoulex (talk) 05:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
