Draft:LD Sharma


Already deleted in article space. See Articles for deletion/LD Sharma. Promotionally written draft. Author has acknowledged on their talk page that they are a PR person for the subject. No reason to think that this version of this draft is likely to make it back to article space (after the AFD). Recommend that the title be Extended-Create Protected in both draft space and article space to allow a neutral editor to establish that the subject is notable.

I am also nominating two other drafts by this author for deletion, but will be listing them separately so that they can be debated separately, each with its own history. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:25, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTPROMO. While those arguments don't usually hold up in draft space, despite the author's protestations to the contrary this smells of WP:TENDENTIOUS, undisclosed paid editing on the part of the PR agent / black hat SEO. As I am not an admin I can't see the deleted mainspace article to see if it would qualify as WP:G4. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:00, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment to User:Curb Safe Charmer - Yes, and .... The author does admit on their talk page, although not in a proper declaration, to being paid as a PR person. As to what is in the deleted article that we can't see, common sense is that it is the same as the draft.  We are saying the same thing.  Robert McClenon (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I've tagged the draft as connected contributor for now. I'm withholding "paid" as the author did not get a separate contract / payment for updating the PR for their company.  If someone wants to redo the tag as connected contributor (paid) that would be okay too.  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 21:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - Please see also Draft:Ajay Shukla and Draft:EverlyWell by same author. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:33, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the clear decision at Articles for deletion/LD Sharma. The draft still presents hopelessly non-notable promotion. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:27, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
