There are several issues with this article.

  • The article has no meaningful, substantive content or nobility to qualify for WP:ANYBIO. Trivial mention in local tabloids is the basis of this article. It is merely a blatant promotion and misuse of Wikipedia.
  • WP:HOAX. The article made up of incorrect and misleading information including the wrong attributions. For example, some local records touted as Guinness World Records. However, merely holding Guinness or other records doesn't qualify WP:ANYBIO.
  • Unreliable sources and whitewashing using unaccreditated qualification. For example, World Records Univerity is a fraudulent organisation. It's a diploma mill operates from Faridabad, India. No such university in London or in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/check-a-university-is-officially-recognised/recognised-bodies.

  • Comment User:RationalPuff is making baseless accusations here. I did not remove any deletion tags or other tags. Check the page history. I only reverted his disruptive edits [[1]] and [[2]].

He maintains that "World Record University" mentioned in the page is not existing. But that's not true. Here's the website https://worldrecordsuniversity.co.uk/

Besides, User:RationalPuff had continued to make disruptive edits on this page including adding speedy deletion tags when admins like User:Espresso Addict and User:Liz had declined the speedy. This is quite disheartening.

There are clear evidence that the content of this page is factual and supported with sources. WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV are met here. That has been the reason the two admins declined the Speedy deletion for a record of two times.Papani i t.d. (talk) 18:42, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is not the Guiness Book of Worldrecords. It is time we purge articles on people with just plain silly "world records".John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:53, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete He's made a flip book. Delete per nom. Oaktree b (talk) 21:00, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While I declined the initial speedy requests on this as not quite meeting the A7/G11 thresholds, and there appears to be some reasonably reliable news coverage of the subject's achievements, I agree that the claims are far from meeting the encyclopedia's notability threshold.
