The sources cited in the article for establishing notability (also listed on the talk page) are WP:SPONSORED and WP:NEWSORGINDIA. The list includes articles from India Today, Outlook India, and ANI. Additionally, sources like The New Indian Express and Financial Express are suspected to be sponsored due to lack of authorship. This article was previously soft-deleted via AfD.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Ineligible for soft deletion.

  • Comment @Kuru removed the Sponsored citations, which I also wanted to remove but I did’t as I want to show others. Grabup (talk) 13:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I was a weak delete originally, but after reading WP:NEWSORGINDIA and how both the Financial Express and The New Indian Express do not engage in any sort of analysis and read as PR-pieces (the Financial Express is particularly weak, it's mostly a WP:INTERVIEW which is not really independent on its own), I am happy seeing this article go unless significantly better sourcing (independence-wise and sigcov-wise) is found.
