Does not seem to pass WP:GNG, judging both by the article content and the shonky refs. TheLongTone (talk) 11:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was actually checking references and searching for further sources to see whether an AfD was justified myself when TheLongTone beat me to it. The following is the nomination statement that I prepared.

This article has been deleted three times, respectively by BLPROD, PROD, and speedy deletion criterion A7, and created for a fourth time. I think it's time to have a discussion to settle the matter.

It is clear that this person does not come anywhere remotely near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Many of the references are unreliable sources such as YouTube, Wikipedia and blogs. Another source is on a web site which says that it offers "solutions" for businesses and publishers: Marketing speak for saying that it is an advertising site. Some of the references don't even mention Reddy Johnson, others barely mention him in passing, in some cases merely quoting a sentence or two from him. None of them is substantial coverage, reliable or otherwise.

In my web searches for information about Renny Johnson, results about this person were lost among hits for other people of the same name: a footballer, a cyclist, a musician, etc etc. Attempts to limit the search to this Renny Johnson by adding other content of the article resulted in getting almost nothing: for example, a Google search for "Renny Johnson" Mundakathil produced a total of 3 hits, one of which again mentioned a different Renny Johnson and, separately, a different person with "Mundakathil" in his name, and the other two were Wikipedia and another wiki.

Ah, a truly diligent editor who goes by the book rather than simply tagging things simply because they smell bad!TheLongTone (talk)

Comment, this one smells bad because the refs in the article smell bad, I'm not heading off into google so there is no vote. Szzuk (talk) 19:09, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
