fails WP:BIO. PROD was contested (probably should have requested speedy deletion). Snigbrook 17:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, per WP:COI--Esprit15d 17:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Article tries to assert notability by discussing the importance of the company he works for, but notability is not inherited (essay). The statements that he "is rated the well known Head Hunter" and "Honored as the best Head Hunter in Chennai" by world-wide-jobs.com seem to mean only that he was listed in their directory, which is apparently open to anyone who fills in a form. His other achievements don't seem very notable (e.g., internal company awards), and don't seem to have translated into independent coverage. EALacey 20:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete probably should have been an A7/speedy deletion. Does get half an amusement point for listing what kindergarten the guy went to(!) though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I beg to defy but the person in this artical is well known in the industry. All the objectionable details in the artical are removed and the artical has been edited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.247.49.114 (talk) 06:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. Unfortunately, it's not enough to assert that someone is well known. He has to meet our notability guideline for people, which requires him to have "been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject". The article does not cite any such sources. EALacey 07:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I think the the publisher of this artical has given a few sources which are reliable. He is also the owner of a blog The Alchemist which appears very often in a search engine. Though certain content(s) of the article are debatable and needs cleaning.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.12.5.50 (talk • contribs)
    • Comment have you any references other than content he has created himself? How often does the blog appear in a search engine? (Also I noticed your IP address 61.12.5.50 is allocated to 'Team Lease Services Pvt Ltd'[1] which is his employer according to the article.) Snigbrook 02:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
