Brought here from proposed deletion by Salih that was declined since it's a recreated article that was twice deleted as non-notable/self-promotion. References don't discuss article subject, search doesn't turn up significant coverage of Sharma, only trivial mentions. Hekerui (talk) 20:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fix and keep Complete vanity page, peacock, autobio, the whole slew. We should have an article on the car, not him - yet at least, he may become famous later. By the way, did he really create the car by 21 years old, all by himself (not a single professor in the background?), or was he more humbly coordinating the team, spokeperson, or whatever. Massive prune to focus on the car, rename to the car, and redirect him there. Power.corrupts (talk) 20:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to car. Remove all the self promotional parts; mention him as part of team. --Sodabottle (talk) 06:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This article is bordering on self promotion and fails WP:BIO. The sources provided do not address the subject directly. Even the notability of the car is questionable. The claim that it is India’s first solar car is not substantiated. This is the best reliable sources I could find, but the article does not even mention the name of the subject.

Delete - per nom and Salih. Shadowjams (talk) 11:14, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Keep the car and dump the kid. In any event BHEL has been making solar powered automobile since the late 1980'sAnnette46 (talk) 11:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sources do not address the subject directly and this blatant vanity page is about as obvious as they come. JBsupreme (talk) 16:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
