Living person, claiming to hold a world record of degrees, but world recodmaking organizing is... not exactly reputable, I don't see a strong case for this being a notable individual. Sadads (talk) 00:00, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All of the press falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA so not reliable for notability. Bylines of "Brand Media" and "HT BRand Studio" are clearly paid-for promotional pieces.--CNMall41 (talk) 01:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't see notability here, even with 11 degrees. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Delete per above lacks notability.Tame Rhino (talk) 05:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All these sources are Sponsored and I think these are published to create Wikipedia article. Grabup (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom. Fails notability. I think this is publicity stunt. RangersRus (talk) 11:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete on WP:PROF criteria, definitely no pass. Investigated GNG based on "most degrees" but even the records page does not state that this is the case (11 degrees, but not most) and as Sadads notes, the notability of the awarding organization is quite suspect in itself. I don't see anything else passing. I'm not sure it's a publicity stunt -- earning 11 degrees is objectively pretty amazing and I could understand a writer or the subject thinking it would qualify for notability by someone who did not know WP's guidelines. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 10:59, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fail GNG. Entirely promotional material. Fake record reference book award. Non-notable.RationalPuff (talk) 22:44, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
