Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kolluru Krishan

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There is a difference between things like WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE, or WP:NSPORTS, and WP:BIO1E or WP:NOTNEWS. Fundamentally, Wikipedia is based on the WP:GNG. BIO1E and NOTNEWS are restrictions on the nature of reliable sources that can be used, i.e. routine coverage in an otherwise reliable newspaper doesn't count, coverage for only one event is insufficient, etc. On the other hand, subject-area notability guidelines are intended to provide alternative ways to meet notability other than GNG. Meeting GNG is almost always sufficient for notability unless the reliable sources are discounted by one of the "restricting" guidelines. That said, this is a no consensus since there's no discussion of whether Hobit's sources are actually good. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:19, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ANYBIO. It appears to be a means of getting info about his company on to WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 01:52, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep [1] and the Asianpower article both seem reliable. The "projects" part could stand to go away though. Hobit (talk) 20:57, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Does not establish notability though. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:50, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Why? It meets WP:N. Are you looking at some other definition of notable? Hobit (talk) 01:33, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, the one at WP:ANYBIO. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 04:39, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ah, you do realize that above ANYBIO the following statement is included: "A person who fails to meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability."? Hobit (talk) 14:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Yes, I am aware of that. Another guideline is WP:CREATIVE. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 04:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        OK, color me confused. Are you saying that meeting WP:N isn't enough? WP:CREATIVE has the exact same caveat, so I'm really unclear what your point is. Could you clarify? Hobit (talk) 20:11, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - obvious use of the encyclopedia for self-promotion. Fails WP:ANYBIO Trusilver 18:48, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll note that hopefully there will be a discussion on ANYBIO/GNG on my talkpage with Trusilver and anyone else who cares to join in. I'd argue that GNG being met makes ANYBIO irrelevant. Trusilver disagrees. Join the fun. And it would probably be good for the closer of this discussion to see if anything relevant is found there. Thanks! Hobit (talk) 04:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
