Non-notable person. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

--This article has been well referenced, notable citations and meets the requirements of Wikipedia. The entry is of a prominent internet entrepreneur and IMHO, I feel when so many entrepreneurs are listed on Wikipedia, we need more from India too.--

Besides the debate of non-notable person is irrelevant as celebrities are now not just abt Sports and Entertainment but in all spheres of life.

I would like to close this debate. it's been well settled in the past. Akumar124 (talk)

- I disagree with what Sportsfan 1234 has said. Though Faisal Farooqui is a notable person, this article is not well referenced, and has been written in a very partisan manner. Some citations are dead links and MouthShut.com links cannot be counted as verifiable sources.

- And Its not about India vs the World, the articles should be of encyclopedic quality, this article fails the test for it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumar124 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT. Where do I start with this mess? It claims to be a WP:BLP, but without an age or year of birth. The only decent source is the Times of India, but it only mentions him briefly in the context of lawsuits. There is literally no significant coverage of him at all. Nothing against SUNY - I went there my self - but it's huge and is not highly selective. A quick search of their web page, by the way, shows he graduated in 1999. The article is mostly a wall of words. Bearian (talk) 03:03, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As far as deletion request for this page is concerned; it doesn't hold any substance. Faisal Farooqui is one of the pioneers of the startup culture in India. There have been many entrepreneurs who have been inspired by him. With India witnessing the growth of the digital age people like Faisal hold importance.

All the points are well referenced.

I think the deletion request for this page should be removed. divineturtle (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Divineturtle (talk • contribs) 13:18, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep : The subject has presented and spoken at many seminars where I have moderated. Subject has done seminal work in the field of Internet entrepreneurship in India. If this subject can't be listed on wikipedia then many others don't deserve the same. However, I suggest strong keep. -- Rairan [[User talk:Agraable1| —Preceding undated comment added 14:16, 1 February 2017 (UTC) [reply]

Delete A promotional article that is attempting to masquerade as a biography, this article really should be deleted. The sources provided are very unreliable and my own search has found nothing better. I'd suggest that someone starts this article from scratch, using the Article Creation wizard, and then submits it for a review. Also, what's with the crazy sockpuppet action in this AfD?
