Keep: Let this page stay. It can be improved from the current version, but looking at their company website it seems the topic fulfills Notability criteria. Vivek Dutta (talk) 10:18, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - lack of secondary sources independent of the subject; the company's own website is not proof of notability Spiderone 19:05, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Wikipedia is not a resume hosting service for unremarkable individuals. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:29, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I strongly support to keep this page up, references provided with this article are very trusted newspapers in India with very strong domain authority. From nowhere this article is looking like a resume, the article includes his early life and education, career, achievements awards, his stand for social cause. He is not unremarkable personal as we can see the awards he has received are from very renowned organisations like Fortune India, CNBC TV18, ICICI, Government of Rajasthan, Punjab National Bank, etc.--Ramendra.singh (talk) 08:08, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:GNG - The article lacks reliable secundary sources that are specifically about the subject. The sources are either about the company, written by the company, or are not noteworthy. I did a google search and could not find any further sources. -- Taketa (talk) 09:10, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Dear Taketa, Thanks for sharing your feedback for the article Sunil Agrawal. The references provided in the article are very trusted news channels. As he is Founder and Chairman of VGL Group, most of his awards and contributions for social causes are through VGL group only. Also, you can check this page is linked from three other Wikipedia pages which are the part of VGL group. You can check his interview by IndiaInfoline and his statement at The Economic Times which itself is a proof of notability. --Ramendra.singh (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Lets keep this page Live. Most of the references provided in this article contains this person's statement or speech. After checking these references which are also the leading news channels in India like The Economic Times and NDTV, it seems this topic fulfills the notability criteria.--Pankajchauhan13 (talk) 11:27, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I don't know where to start but I think a lot of people dedicate their life in creating such an organisation which brings in happiness in others life. I believe he completely represents his company and that is why the article looks like it is talking more about the company. The references and awards come from few of the most trusted sources of information in news and finance world. I strongly support to keep this article to encourage such people who first think about mankind and then for themselves.--Aka kesar (talk) 14:21, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I went through the article and it very much says about the person and his work in the company. LC is a very famous shopping channel here in the United States. The references provided in the article like of (CNBC), (Economic Times) and (NDTV Profit) are very trusted news sites. So, I strongly believe we should keep this article at Wikipedia.Shariq.ahm (talk) 10:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Remark: I see multiple accounts that expressed their opinion here as their first edit and make the same language mistakes. Please note WP:SID and WP:MEAT. This is not a vote and only arguments count, not numbers. Secondly all accounts suspected of socking can be treated as one person. Finally, all accounts are subject to any sanctions if necessary. This includes the original account. Please stop any attempts to influence this discussion outside arguments and improving the article. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 11:38, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
