WP:COI the article has been created by a user whose only edit is this and by a user having the same user name as the article with few edits other than this.It is about the user who has started a company .Notablity is questionable Harlowraman 16:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:AUTOBIO. Fails notability and NPOV. --Bfigura (talk) 17:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - The India Today, Computers Today and Businessworld pieces on this person are multiple secondary reliable sources. The WP:AUTOBIO guideline (not policy) stipulates that people should "avoid" writing about themselves, but it's not set in stone. Just because the subject contributed to the article doesn't negate the fact the person passes both WP:BIO and WP:N. By the way, why is this in the "Places and transportation" category? --Oakshade 16:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • delete. subject may be notable but the article is an advert/spam full of weasel words. It could be re-written; but I doubt he has sufficient notability outside India for somebody to do this. 87.127.44.154 06:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article needs cleaning up but the sources more than establish notability. Nuttah68 12:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Oakshade. --Aarktica 20:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
