Vinayak Dev

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Sockpuppet creation. Subject did exist, but contents of article is fabricated from the sources. None of the text matches the attributions. Possibly can be cleaned up and would be willing to withdraw the nomination, but should not be in main space in present condition since bordering on hoax. I don't believe draftifying is appropriate here (not the purpose of draft space, misuses AfC and the sockpuppet creator is indef blocked). Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 00:39, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: Yes, there is misleading material in there, in summary, a vandalised account. Third reference gives quite a bit of information and validates some material. The Accession section is part BS. Fly in the sky, delete it. --Whiteguru (talk) 01:46, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
