Non notable author and editor who fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E. Most of the sources provided are articles written by him and tweets. We require coverage about him not by him. He had only been in the news because of his tweet about the anniversary of the Demolition of the Babri Masjid, following which his account got suspended by Twitter.

Keep The nomination statement is not accurate. Tripathi is not famous because of his twitter suspension. He is already famous which is why his twitter suspension garnered the attention from renowned personalities all over the world. From what I gather, he is a famous Human rights activist and author, journalist. I believe he passes our GNG criteria easily. Quote: "He (Salil Tripathi) is also an award-winning journalist and author of three works of non-fiction, and chairs PEN International's Writers-in-Prison Committee. " [1]. "Salil Tripathi is one of our most important human rights activists." Salman Rushdie [2] Walrus Ji (talk) 03:38, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
