An article about a local television news anchor with no references or sources that back up the notability of the subject matter. No independent sources are used. The article is written like a resume than a biography. The one reference is a dead link and the web archive contains no information. Nor do the external links verify notability. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:43, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep if it can be verified that Krishnan received a national Emmy Award rather than a local one, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:08, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But, it should be cited, which the article doesn't making it an unverified claim. And one Emmy might help if the article wasn't written in it's current format. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:23, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The format and existing references are not relevant what matters is whether the subject is notable and whether it is possible to improve the article using reliable sources coverage, as per WP:NEXIST imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:11, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Atlantic306. A well-known anchor in New York City, the nation's largest media market. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:39, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep per above, a notable anchor with reliable coverage to support notability. Slovenichibo (talk) 07:39, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Please note I added 2 new WP:RS qualifying sources in an effort to improve this article. They show her as more recently extending beyond news anchoring and into hosting national TV shows. As of 2020 and 2021, she hosts shows on both TLC and Discovery+. I added clarification that the "6 Emmy awards" are for the NY market, which is not as notable as a national Emmy, but still notable none the less as the NY market is the #1 largest in the US (per Neilsen ratings). I note that the page needs additional work, the intro summary is way too long, it should be broken into a career section, the only sub-sections are currently personal life.

A citation to Google is a new one! There's obvious potential for notability here, if the claims about her significance in the Indian community are backed up by RS, but so far they haven't been. The Emmy awards (seven of them) seem all to be NY ones rather than national ones: [1],[2], etc. So... so far I'm leaning delete. Furius (talk) 12:15, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
