Indu Prakash (astrologer)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a re-nomination of the page formerly nominated by Saqib at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acharya Indu Prakash; the page has been moved into and out of draft space several times of the past week. The original concern was "Most of the coverage about this Astrologer in India TV website which I think is not independent of the subject so fails GNG." Regarding the references included, one is an interview [1], the rest have been either trivial or re-publications of self-published info. He is apparently a TV show host. power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:34, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Except this, I find none of the cited source on this article independent or reliable enough to be cited on a BLP. Salt both titles if deleted to avoid re-creation. PS. @Power~enwiki: the result statement on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acharya Indu Prakash is bothering me. Could you amend it and make it more clearer like "Delete and Draft-ify". --Saqib (talk) 16:42, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
not delete First of all the sources are not self published. Second, He is notable personality and national TV of france has declared him amoung top three astrologers of world. Thirdly, he has been awarded with the title of Mahamahopadhyay, it is most rare title given to him by Shankracharya (Pope) of Hinduism. Wikipedia is not having any article on title "Mahamahopadhyay". I have the proof in my hinduism official magazine but it is not online how I can cite offline reference? Fourth, he is not hosting show, but he is on India TV from last 7 years, it is commendable achievement. The show is not advertorial but it is part of TV channel.--Spiritualbanda (talk) 16:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC) User blocked for sock-puppetry. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not Delete The article is also having it's references from tribune which is government news website. Saqib is Muslim I guess why he is being considered for Hindu matters. Yes the acharyaji is highly known in entire India. --IndianGirlDiva (talk) 17:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC) Duplicate sock vote struck power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No credible source that profiles him. Fails indepth and significant coverage criteria. A lot of the references are 'profiles'. Not news articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Globe2trotter (talk • contribs) 18:47, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
