Yashvardhan Shukla

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This author was the subject of a brief profile in Outlook (republished in The Hindu) last August, but one profile isn't enough to meet the notability standards. —Neil P. Quinn (talk) 16:35, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete -Firstly, it is not a profile. It is an independent coverage in secondary, reliable source. Profile is something like a 'database' entry, no story but like a cv or resume. Coming to the point, Yashvardhan Shukla has received kind of coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources such as, -Dainik Jagran, The Hindu, Indian Express, The Navhind Times, Odhisha Samaya, Outlook.
 * Five out of seven sources (last fives), are re-print of any one among them. It appears to be a news story that went on newspapers from 26 August 2014 to 29 August 2014. Subject fails WP:NAUTHOR -because none of the sources has published review/critical commentary on book authored. It fails WP:BIO too -for WP:BLP1E -being notable for only one event, authoring a book at the age of 13 (all sources are centered around -subject turns author at 13). Did I miss something? Let me know, I am open to amend my !vote. Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  17:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I use the word 'profile' to mean a news article which profiles a specific person. In this case, I agree that the profile is a reliable secondary source (but only one, no matter how many times it's reprinted).—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 21:19, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Strong Keep -This particular author has a notable personality. He has been interviewed by News Express and DD National. His book's page on Facebook has more than 3500 likes. His book has been identified by Google and is available on Amazon.in .

 * Delete Per Anupmehra - all of the news sources are basically drawn from the same article, which is a soft-news story put out by a wire service. Other references are sites directly connected to the author, simple database entries or clickbait-type sites.  No evidence the book itself is widely read or reviewed, and the fact that the author was so young (the primary focus of that news story) does not in itself make him notable.
