Keep – Agree that it's a pretty lame article but the refs easily demonstrate GNG. The COI, if it's real, is not translating into a promotional style. Nom's rationale is also vauge. small jars tc 15:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relevant page and information - should be kept. 115.111.140.7 (talk) 04:34, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete PROMO, all the sources I can find are routine business mentions. Oaktree b (talk) 03:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with numerous articles,even if not indepth, he meets WP:BASIC, as articles can be combined to demonstrate notability. Pershkoviski (talk) 23:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It has become evident that there is a dearth of substantial references from reputable sources that establish the notability of Karan Adani. The available sources either do not provide in-depth coverage or fail to demonstrate the subject's significance within its respective field or context. Additionally, there exists a record of individuals affiliated with the Adani Group engaging in the manipulation of Wikipedia entries in previous instances. Therefore, it would not be surprising if the identical group of individuals were responsible for the creation of this page from the outset. RPSkokie (talk) 08:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article does have COI tag but the accusation is regarding a user whose sole contribution to the page was the infobox image, which seems like a non-issue to me. The section in the signpost article is not a rationale for COI but a suggestively written collection of facts about a few editors to the page, which seem less related to each other the closer you look at them. (they manage to make "inexperienced editor" sound damning, and apparently Doc James linking a policy page on your user talk without even a warning template, and probably only as a precaution in response to the previous situation with another user's drafts, amounts to being "suspected of paid editing") It's not impossible that there's serious paid editing but there are no valid signs of it either. The article is, at least superficially, not promotional: even the third sentence describes him the son of a "controversial industrialist." COI is not the only reason someone might want to write this article, though it might seem like it to us outside of India, since Adani is a common name in the Indian press, as can be seen from several reliable sources on the article contributing to GNG. small jars tc 08:54, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not every wealthy scion gets his own article. I don't see this passes WP:SIGCOV. DGG might argue that wealth alone might create notability, but I would disagree. A willing to change my mind. Bearian (talk) 17:27, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Bearian. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Based on a quick Google search, I came across significant media coverage and looks like the subject is a prominent figure in the business. Additionally, he has been listed in the Forbes India Magazine's "Tycoon of Tomorrow" list. Pass WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Historical Heritages of Bihar (talk) 18:34, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- I found this [[1]] [[2]] and This [[3]] it significant enough for him to pass WP:GNG and also him been appointed to Economic Advisory Council see [[4]], also winner of Economic Times Awards see [[5]].Epcc12345 (talk) 19:20, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The subject is leading the whole Business Group. He is notable on his own, not on his father's hereditary notability. All his news and coverages are in Reliable Sources and most of the articles are in-depth to pass WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. Thanks Mr Goldberg 11:14, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Epcc12345 - the SCMP coverage and the fact that he has been CEO of one of the Adani Group's companies for several years is more than enough to demonstrate notability. The concerns about undue promotion can be handled through editing. Walt Yoder (talk) 22:57, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
