Sharad Sagar[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Student whose article seems to fail WP:BIO. Article has a large number of self referential references, and very few and low quality third party references. A Google search turns up a number of pages, but a closer examination determine that these are profile pages, not genuine third party sources and a very few newspaper articles. scope_creep 18:21, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Delete: Fails WP:BASIC, as most of the references are either his own sites or press releases. —Ignatzmice ^talk _contribs 19:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are good enough references. Rockefeller 100, Telegraph India and many other. It's other matter that some are self pages. Also, Google search has a lot more results than personal results. Google pulls a lot of other results, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.122.127.226 (talk) 03:21, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very Strong Keep. this guy is listed with creative commons (wiki licensing). all sources are reputed newspapers and the only press releases are by TUFTS UNIVERSITY and not individual. Such a reputed university's press release is as prestigious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.222.119 (talk) 03:27, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Ignatzmice. Just another person in the news. 64.134.102.69 (talk) 18:45, 15 April 2013 (UTC)— 64.134.102.69 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Delete. Too many of the references are connected to the subject; those which are not do not amount to significant enough coverage to warrant an entry. And why are some of the claims cited by Wikipedia itself? MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:34, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable.Jussychoulex (talk) 17:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Very few of the references are actually about Sagar. They only mention him in passing and sometimes not at all. Despite his awards, there doesn't appear to be enough there that would seem to meet our BLP. Mkdw ^talk 08:58, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
