 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Indian "model, choreographer and social media influencer", signally fails WP:GNG - was deeply tempted to go G11 with this. Hair color Black, eye color Brown, apparently... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:47, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fashion and India. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:47, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong keep the subject is notable as many secondary source have covered him. India Today, The Telegraph, Zee News, ABP News are all national level media houses of India. Also, infobox for the model provides the parameters like eye colour and height etc. Also, we have similar articles on model on Wikipedia for years. Please see, he is a winner of India's national level beauty pageant title. Similar articles are here:- Vishnu Raj Menon, Jitesh Singh Deo etc. There are 10 good quality source, covering the subject, and there are many articles on Wikipedia with 2-3 source. PS: All source talks about the subject, no passing mention.-Admantine123 (talk) 07:00, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please note Mister India icon is India's National level beauty pageant title.-Admantine123 (talk) 09:18, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: clearly fails in WP:GNG nd no any secondery reliable source. only PR stuff Worldiswide (talk) 06:25, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Jitesh Singh Deo exist on Wikipedia even with less number of sources. The source in this article is discussing about the subject, not passing mention. 8 sources (all are WP: SECONDARY) that too of national level media houses are enough for fulfilling WP:GNG.-Admantine123 (talk) 09:23, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You can also nominate that one for deletion, it also appears as non-notable as this person. Thank you for pointing it out. Oaktree b (talk) 19:50, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I nominated it, I don't think it's notable, with the sourcing available at least. Oaktree b (talk) 20:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Source analysis please Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz Humbug! 21:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. he received awards that seem quite significant, and significant coverage in independent sources (Telangana Today, Lokmat) (on the page) so that he can be considered notable.- My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  21:20, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 *  Speedy Keep , at present the sources cover the subject in-depth and seven such sources are enough for WP:GNG. Also, the subject is a title holder and many articles on such one time award holders exists on Wikipedia. I have already listed similar articles with much less sources existing comfortably on wiki.-Admantine123 (talk) 03:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete awards are not inherently notable, sourced to PR/puff pieces.-KH-1 (talk) 04:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 *  Strong Keep , I am sure that it has enough sources to be included in Wikipedia as it fulfills WP:GNG. Considering that several one time title receiver article with much less source exist on Wiki.-Admantine123 (talk) 09:01, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You already voted twice before!!! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:09, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Your nomination itself was wrong. That's why it is taking time. Several articles of one time award winners with less coverage in news sources exist on Wikipedia (example: Jitesh Singh Deo). It will be good if you withdraw this nomination. Admantine123 (talk) 13:50, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Admantine123, I'm striking your duplicate votes, you can only cast one "vote". Please abide by this practice in AFD deletion discussions. Everyone else does. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Its ok Admantine123 (talk) 04:31, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep: enough coverage and notable FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:59, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep He have won National level award and the article fulfills the Wikipedia Criteria. TheProEditor11 (talk) 17:43, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment- some serious WP:BLUD is going on here by Admantine123. Voting “strong keep/speedy keep” three times and then replying to everyone who votes delete is seriously disruptive to the AfD process. GraziePrego (talk) 03:30, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: The Telegraph article is sponsored content, so a no-no. The rest appears as fluffy as it. Winning a Josh TRENDSETTER award is not notable, and I'm not even sure what that is to be honest. This is PROMO. Oaktree b (talk) 19:49, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * This is typical of the language: Vikas Shakya - A new dazzle in the realm of buzz world [] flowery language, not using correct English sentences, staff writer... Very much PR fluff. Oaktree b (talk) 19:53, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Every references on the page with the exception of the 1st (which is a bio) fails WP:NEWSORGINDIA. These are PR pieces and do not count towards notability. I would welcome anyone pointing out some references that do not fall under NEWSORGINDIA and I would be happy to review and possibly change my vote. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:14, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Almost every sources are sponsored content. Fails the notability criteria.111.92.123.60 (talk) 18:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: BLP, Fails GNG and BIO. Clearly promotional. BEFORE found nothing that meets WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.  // Timothy :: talk  16:35, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
