Most of the references so far don't verify that the people listed are both Jains and billionaires, but as User:Fram noted when moving this to draft, it's unclear how the intersection of religion and wealth is in any way encyclopedic enough for a standalone list article.

Delete: List of names, most aren't even sourced. I agree that I don't see what wealth and a particular nationality have in common. I don't even see what classifies as wealthy as no income figures are given. "List of Richest XYZ by income" might have a shot a notability, this is just a list of names in no particular order.

Hey out of the 20 names, i have referenced 15 to their wikipedia articles and also added source for networth and religion. This is a list of all jain billionaires which i am trying to compile. KRFAAR (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As mentioned above, along with the names themselves and the order they're in not being particularly notable, the grouping itself has not been shown to be notable per WP:NLIST. popodameron ⁠talk 21:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, the listing is as per the decreasing order of their networth, but few names have been misplaced. 15/20 have english wikipedia articles under their name too. I have added forbes link for each.. KRFAAR (talk) 21:28, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added forbes link to everyone's name which shows their billionaire status. And i have also added links to show in which religion they were born. Jains are minority in India and I wanted to compile a list for this community. KRFAAR (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Except for everyone with the surname Jain i have added source for their religion. KRFAAR (talk) 21:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So currently i have added forbes link for all the individuals, for 15/20 mentioned here also linked their english wikipedia page, 12/20 have both forbes and jain religion sources, for people with jain surname i have not added specifically because it is obvious. KRFAAR (talk) 21:57, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So i would like to know what else should i improve inthis article for it to not get deleted, i haveadded a lot of sources for religion and networth KRFAAR (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should i add their company names and designations to make it better?? KRFAAR (talk) 22:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The list was obviously created in good faith, but sourcing of their being Jains and billionaires was only half of the problem. The other half is whether it's encyclopedic to have a standalone list article on Jain (or Bahá'í, or Zoroastrian) billionaires. As members of a minority religion, a better place to list notable Jain businesspeople would be at List of Jains#Business leaders. Wikishovel (talk) 03:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is the issue of having separate article for this? And i did not add billionaires in the notable jain list because it would get buried down there. This separate list would be a better representation. Many communities have such pages, so i was thinking there should not be a problem with a jain list too. I have referenced wikipedia articles, added sources which mention networth and religion too. Don' see a problem here. So i don't understand why deletion KRFAAR (talk) 08:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And there are many such list like Tamil billionaire, which dont have any source or referenced articles but are still accepted, so i dont see why my list cannot be accepted. KRFAAR (talk) 08:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not a lot of context to this article. Just a list of names and looks like a gathering of original research. Ajf773 (talk) 09:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is not notable in any context, fails WP:GNG --Devoke water 09:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
