Draft:Yash

 * – (View MfD)

Hoax article. The original version of the article before I removed the (highly inappropriate) sources is:. All of the claims in the article are unsourced. The "sources" include articles on the NYTimes and India Today that don't mention the subject of the article, a link to the Indian Parliament that is a 404, a link to "naidunia news peper" that doesn't mention the subject, and a slew of user-generated content sites that are copies of the same, fake information. This looks to be a deliberate attempt to make the subject appear notable. All of the claims are untrue: there is no Indian Member of Parliament called "Munna Gawli". There is no Indian tech company called yashtec and Yash is not a founder or a CEO. Yash Gawli did not contribute to the Stranger Things soundtrack. As far as I can tell, every claim is false.

 * Note this had been nominated for WP:G3. I declined the speedy deletion because it wasn't obvious to me that it was a hoax, and I suggested to The Mirror Cracked that it be brought here.  I have no opinion either way, just wanted to fill in the history.  -- RoySmith (talk) 03:13, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. per nomination. Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2019/Yash Gawli on simplewiki seems likely to go that route as well (The external discussion having been noted by RoySmith in the G3 decline rationale). &#8211;  MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 03:17, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with the G3 decline, but I would tag it WP:CSD.  "entrepreneur, CEO and founder of "; sourced only to two non-reliable external links.  Commercial related promotion with not suitable sources, it is promotion, and non of it can be edited to be made suitable.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
