Apparently non-notable, promotional BLP. Astrology forums on facebook which aren't even about this astrologer are not a good basis for an article. bobrayner (talk) 10:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I checked the two non-Facebook "references" and there was nothing about this person there. Copy is all promotional. North8000 (talk) 11:44, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Borderline speedyable; no reliable sources to support notability. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:58, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:BIO. Very close to being alright to speedy delete. Joe Chill (talk) 21:16, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete: I've tagged it up for WP:SPEEDY. The article was probably created by the subject himself (User:Nikhil.mba.gupta). The person is truly non-notable. Of the references/external links supplied in the article, only two of them pass WP:RS ([1] and [2]) - and none of them have any reference to the subject. All the others are from his own website [3], an obscure blog about Astrology[4], Facebook comments, and various posts from astrology forums (all are either WP:SPS or WP:USERG). Absolutely no coverage in popular Indian media. Vote for speedy deletion under criterion WP:A7 — Fιηεmαηη ^(talk) 20:45, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: My personal thinking was that claims like "known for his worldwide popularity" might disqualify the article from A7. Those sentences might not be true - that's why we're discussing deletion - but notability is at least claimed. Whatever; as long as te article goes, I'm happy. bobrayner (talk) 08:50, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The subject has already posted the Wikipedia link on his website (http://www.nikhilworld.com/myself.html), saying that it gives his full profile. I guess it is very okay now to assume that User:Nikhil.mba.gupta is the subject himself, and he created this article just for promotional purposes. — Fιηεmαηη ^(talk) 21:00, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
