Keep due to invalid deletion rationale. "Promotional" is WP:DINC, "not in English" is outright counter to policy. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 14:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A non-notable businessman who fails WP:BASIC, WP:BIO, WP:SIGCOV. This is most likely a UPE/CoI spam. Poorly sourced article. Some citations don't even list the subject. Nobility is not inherited merely representing a business. RationalPuff (talk) 17:04, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems notable to me 108.7.222.250 (talk) 13:12, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete The article is a poorly sourced promotional article. Wik8dude (talk) 16:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

please don't endorse your own nomination. RationalPuff (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As the creator of the article, I created this article to learn to contibute on the english version of wikipedia and i may not have choosen the right subject. Two speedy deletion demand and one AfD in less than a month. Indeed, Wikipedia's notoriety criteria in English do not seem to be clearly respected.

Keep The references include articles from Jeune Afrique and Africa Intelligence (which seem like reliable sources) that focus on Gupta specifically, and a few more that discuss his company. A quick search has found even more sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] He clearly passes WP:GNG. --Un assiolo (talk) 18:11, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a typical promotional article and not an actual encyclopaedic article. There just aren't enough sources out there to establish notability. And the few sources do not seem really intellectually independent. Few pages link to this page. Also Gagan Gupta is not even mentionned on Olam International page (it has lately been added in the "see also" section). AliochaKara (talk) 19:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Such promotical articles on companies and products harm professional encyclopedic image. Also, as said before, the article fails WP:BASIC, WP:BIO, WP:SIGCOV. Kryzaal (talk) 16:43, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As for the Olam International page, "a major contributor to this article may have a close connection with its subject"... Also notability is not inherited. ZlatOne (talk) 20:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable and promotional article. Samuel Goujon (talk) 10:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
