There's assertions of notability but there's no independent third party sources in the article, only mentions on Twitter, Facebook, and the like. I don't think the subject of the article is notable enough at present to qualify for an article on this wiki. -- Diannaa (talk) 12:11, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Chawla is a 16-year-old high-school student with lots of drive, but no actual indications of notability. He has founded some companies (or at least launched some web pages) but there is no indication that these companies are at all significant.

Passed Ayaan Chawla article has been edited and I think now this article is proper. Thanks Daviddavidusa1 —Preceding undated comment added 15:58, 19 August 2013 (UTC) — Daviddavidusa1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Sock puppet contributions stricken.[reply]
Comment In what way has it been edited to make it "proper"? What changes have been made to address the fact that no indication is given that Chawla meets the criteria for inclusion. Where is the evidence of significant coverage in reliable third-party sources? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:02, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Passed As i have reviewed Ayaan Chawla's article and i found some links of third party, and those links are of Microsoft website and Intel Website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daviddavidusa1 (talk • contribs) 08:31, 20 August 2013 (UTC) Sock puppet contributions stricken.[reply]

Comment I am agree with Daviddavidusa1 as I have mentioned in this article the external third party links. And I found about Ayaan Chawla while I was purchasing domain for me through his company Asian Fox Developments and after my research I found these details which i have mentioned in article. Ayaan's company has served to over thousands of people. And after Google search I found the Intel website and on that, I got details of his company that his company is partner with Intel and after more search i got details that in this age he is partner of biggest technology companies in world like Microsoft, Intel & more. An even today i got details that his company is being partner with IBM also. That's the reason why i have contributed this article on Wikipedia about a kid named Ayaan Chawla. After going on his personal website i found his personal details that he was winner of well known company of softwares called Telerik after a seminar/webinar, and he got award as best developer. But in last it's reviewers choice about this article. Regards Ron Gates

Comment Hello [[User:WikiDan61|WikiDan61], as you have written that he launched some web page, but i would like to tell his companies are registered. Regards Ron Gates —Preceding undated comment added 10:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Ron Gates and Daviddavidusa1: You have mentioned that the article has reliable third party links, but I don't think you have read the guidelines on reliable sources if you consider these reliable and significant coverage. The Intel link is based on the fact that Chawla registered his company with Intel, a process anyone can do. There is nothing significant about this. The Microsoft link is a link to Chawla's own blog (a primary source) and even if reliably sourced, is also insignificant, because registering with Microsoft is as easy as registering with Intel. There is nothing exclusive about these processes. And whether or not Chawla's companies are "registered" (whatever that means, and whatever evidence there is to verify it), there is still nothing to indicate that this isn't just another ambitious kid trying to make himself look impressive.

Comment Hello WikiDan61, now I got your point. but i have viewed some articles like BigRock and much more, which doesn't have reliable references, so that's why i have put these links as references. Regards Ron Gates —Preceding undated comment added 13:42, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The presence of other poorly sourced articles is not an argument to retain this poorly sourced article. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:09, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
