Sri Sri Sri Guru Viswa Sphoorthi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails notability, unsourced, overly promotional BLP. MikeLynch (talk) 19:14, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nominator. Meatsgains (talk) 20:07, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * For a start we need to drop the "Sri Sri Sri Guru" nonsense and look for sources that use the guy's name rather than include the multiple honorifics (I've been told that some Germans with two doctorates insist on being called Dr. Dr., but three Sris really go too far):
 * That doesn't really get us any further in the search for reliable sources in the Roman alphabet, with just a couple of short articles in The Hans India. At the moment this looks like a "delete", unless someone less linguistically challenged than I can find some good sources in another writing system. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:45, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - not notable, entirely unsuitable WP:PROMO content. No independent and reliable English-language sources found - both available Hans India articles lack author details and factual information. They read more like guest authors' columns for regional events than professional journalistic articles. Even if reliable Telugu-language sources could be found, the article would need to be re-written from scratch anyway. Almost the entire current article violates WP:NPOV and WP:V.

 * ′′′Don't Delete′′′ : Coverage in The Hindu since last 6 years check it.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.207.36.58 (talk)
 * These sources show only passing mentions, and do not contain in-depth coverage (at least a few sentences) directly about the topic (please read up on WP:GNG for more information). I formatted your message a bit for readability without changing its content. GermanJoe (talk) 11:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
