Seriously.. this is a promotional BLP.. I found coverage on the subject in the Indian newspapers and news website but most of them are gossip articles and the coverage is mention in passing and namecheck type of stuff. Found nothing in-detail or significant coverage which can help us write a proper encyclopedia bio on the subject. Press coverage is largely due to his work with the prominent Indian film personalities so Notability is not inherited applies here. The bio was previously created by the subject and was deleted via AfD so I assume the subject is back again and is very much behind this promotional BLP.

Delete: A WP:SPA article about a fitness coach, promotional in tone (going extra miles, etc.). Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from working for clients. I don't know how close this is to the earlier AfDed article (which had been heading for a delete decision before its speedy deletion) but the arguments there are equally applicable to this instance. A man with a job, with no evidence of notability. AllyD (talk) 06:36, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article is clearly promotional in tone, but that's WP:SOFIXIT. There is coverage of Gir himself. https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/140816/meet-ranbir-kapoors-new-fitness-trainer.html https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/karan-johar-is-disciplined-ranbir-kapoor-lied-about-workouts/articleshow/62141460.cms https://www.tatacliq.com/que/rana-daggubati-workout-secret/ https://www.pressreader.com/india/health-nutrition/20170601/282132111399704 http://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment/news/bollywood-news/article/he-would-down-a-few-drinks-and-lie-trainer-kunal-gir-exposes-reluctant-gym-goer-ranbir-kapoor/180434 WP:GNG. These articles discuss/interview Gir himself, so not just inherited notability. Ross-c (talk) 07:13, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We clearly differ in our assessments of these articles, but for me they are about Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar and Rana Daggubati. Would any of these have been published without being hung on the peg of the celebrity, for example if the subject of the article was prepared to reveal the gym regimes of Joe Bloggs and John Doe? For me, coverage regarding professional clients sits under WP:NOTINHERITED. AllyD (talk) 07:40, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-- Per AllylD.No evidence of independent coverage and is associated with clients.Typical semi-spam entertainment-interview stuff, which bears semblance to paid-promotion/coverage, as has been discussed multiple times at ITNB.~ Winged Blades^Godric 15:26, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
