Biography of run-of-the-mill YouTuber. No claim to notability, no coverage in independent sources, does not meet WP:BASIC or WP:ENT. Declined multiple times in AfC and then moved to mainspace anyway, so here we are. bonadea contributions talk 17:44, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I believe the article should be kept despite being declined several times in the past. I think it carries valuable information for readers and deserves improvement through the contributions of other editors in the future. All the information provided in the article has ample sources, most of which are published by respected news publications. While it may not meet the full criteria for notability, it is not completely negligible either. Instead of deleting it entirely, I suggest adding a tag to the article addressing the topic. The article is not intended to promote the person's popularity, and all the sources provide enough coverage on the subject that it is not just an assumption. I believe that placing an appropriate tag on the article that addresses the problem would inform other editors and readers about it and allow for further improvement. This approach is better than simply deleting the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prarambh20 (talk • contribs)

There are no sources that discuss him. Tagging the article doesn't change that fact. Oaktree b (talk) 20:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all mentions of this individual are PR-ish or in non-RS. Vaguely PROMO as well. I can't find any sourcing we can use. Oaktree b (talk) 20:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which part of this article you find PRish? Prarambh20 (talk) 20:34, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The non reliable sources all use flowery language to describe the person. Oaktree b (talk) 02:36, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Quote that will change your life forever!" that' about as click-bait as they get. Very promo. Oaktree b (talk) 02:37, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If so, then no objection. Prarambh20 (talk) 10:44, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt Without (YouTuber) added on, this article title is salted itself after multiple G-speedy reasons being invoked, (same with Sandeep maheshwari back to '15) and I doubt they gained any new WP:N in the last few months, so this needs to be speedied as virulent creation evasion. Nate • (chatter) 22:30, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And now I've added previous AfD history (including one which includes two 'ii's on the end) which just shows this is very tedious and that the subject will not rest to get on here. @Prarambh20:, please declare conflicts. Also a rarity for draftspace, Draft:Sandeep Maheshwari is salted. Nate • (chatter) 00:01, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not COI editor, just trying to defend doesn't cause any "conflict". It is very unreasonable. Prarambh20 (talk) 10:40, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@MrSchimpf, be logical. Prarambh20 (talk) 10:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am; you should know better, especially if the article is both under a non-standard title and the draft isn't properly titled and make sure there's no creation salting going on. If you're not able to discern this (or a clear draft that's junk and shouldn't be promoted to mainspace), you shouldn't be promoting articles out of draftspace. Nate • (chatter) 13:16, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draft:Sandeep Maheswari is restricted, that's why I create the draft with lowercase last name. Prarambh20 (talk) 13:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then you shouldn't have created it!!! If it's restricted, then that might be a clue to think 'oh maybe we can't create this article or I should ask an admin what's going on'. 🤦🏽‍♀️ This is the most basic and common sense thing to do. Nate • (chatter) 14:47, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But Draft:Sandeep maheshwari isn't, which is how this swill got into article space. Nate • (chatter) 00:05, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Actually, this person is notable in real life but not as per the wikipedia standard. It's sad that Indian media house is pathetic. This page should have been speedy deleted, as it's already admin blocked. Lordofhunter (talk) 06:49, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
