Delete. Sources like AsiaBusinessTimes/YakTimes/magzinehours are obviously fake. Paid promotion is like a fly in your soup: you do not want that soup anymore. Similarly, I do not believe anything in the article. --- Possibly ☎ 07:36, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "He was born in a middle-class family He began his career as an artist when he was only sixteen years old. Even though Pranesh did not come from an artistic family" Who cares? It seems that the bio was written by the boy himself or someone of his family. This biography should stay in a family album, not here. Sources are even more hilarious SalomonSalmon (talk) 09:19, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete asiabusinesstimes.com, zee5.com, yaktimes.com, thetalentedindian.com, magazinehours.in, independentmorning.com, lokshahi.live, entrepreneurethics.com and lokmat.com will publish just about anything. It's interesting to see how similar these profiles are: "Pranesh struggles a lot in his life to become what he is today." (entrepreneurethics.com). "Although in the beginning there were not much resources and opportunities but with determination and constant struggle he searched them and become what he is today." (independentmorning.com). "Although he faced a lot of hurdles in his path of becoming a successful rangoli artist he never compromises on his dreams." (magazinehours.in). Still the issues like a lack of separate room for practicing Rangoli hurdled his way but he nevertheless crossed those hurdles. (thetalentedindian.com) "He confronted a number of difficulties and issues throughout his formative years however he by no means offers up on his expertise and love for artwork." (yaktimes.com) "There are no shortcuts in life everyone has to go through a path that is full of hurdles but those who are dedicated and determine towards their dreams and aspirations become successful in achieving life goals". (asiabusinesstimes.com). A bit odd to refer to his work as Rangoli, BTW. Vexations (talk) 11:51, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - vanity spam, does not meet WP:GNG, nothing more than an attempt to buy a Wikipedia article by manufacturing significant coverage by using websites that will publish your material if you give them enough money Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:19, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 21-year-olds are almost never notable artists, and the slew of paid and vanity publications promoting this person does not show otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:43, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
