I just finished removing all the dumb award lists, self-coverage, press releases, and general cruft from this article and after doing it, I realized I was left with almost nothing as far as WP:RS goes for SigCov.

I suggest looking at the version before I canned almost everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deepak_Ohri&oldid=1167447417

The other side of this coin is I did find some coverage which appeared to be independent and significant.

He's been interviewed by Bloomberg and CNBC business - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOw73CoE6bU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLQ3_JNrDT0

There's a LOT of press release reposts, meaningless lists, paid-for coverage, coverage by entites he's associated with, etc etc etc. Every time I think I've found something that's a real coverage, it's paid for, unverified, or non-independent. Really struggling to find anything to meet GNG apart from these two short news segments.

Every source that discusses him, even if independent-seeming just gushes over his various successes and provides no actual substance. Take a look at this source for example:

https://gulfnews.com/business/tourism/the-only-school-i-could-get-into-was-the-school-of-hard-knocks-1.647972#

Is this independent? Reliable? Significant? Maybe? If this meets the bar, then he has dozens of sources to meet GNG. If it doesn't (which I don't think it does), he might just be non-notable. The presence of an SPA who's spent the last few years ass-blasting irrelevant content into the article doesn't help.

Delete this promotional and poorly referenced article, unless an editor can find significant coverage in several independent reliable sources. After the cleanup, the only two references are written by Forbes "contributors" and are therefore not reliable. See WP:FORBESCON. Cullen328 (talk) 20:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing to see here, another one of these "entrepreneur" articles we see in AfD. PR sourcing, puffy language. Nothing for notability found. Oaktree b (talk) 22:53, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It doesn't meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG, as it only contains two references, neither of which appears to be reliable.Kind regards --Âvîrâm7^(talk) 09:51, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that before the cleanup, he had 60 sources linked: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deepak_Ohri&oldid=1167447417

I removed those that I felt were not good sources (mostly primary or crummy awards). BrigadierG (talk) 22:27, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG lacks indepth coverage.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page should stay.

The page had in-depth coverage, but another user modified it and deleted most of the content. Currently, the page has content with references from various independent sources. The page was created several years ago and was never questioned. All is documented. --DSan22 (talk) 23:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
