Article does not demonstrate notability, and appears to be promotional. Initially I marked for speedy deletion, but this article has existed for a year, so I would like to get additional input here. Prodego ^talk 04:01, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The article needs a significant rewrite, as right now it is promotional in nature. However, there is some coverage of this individual online on various websites. [1][2] His company has garnered significant press attention for his weird ideas. [3][4], but from the wording of the articles on him, I'm left wondering if those articles are not paid for.Acebulf (talk) 00:16, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • From the edit history, it appears that the page was created by a marketing company. It's very likely paid for. Aveek (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • This article was created by the Indian marketing agency socialstardom.in, and appears to be a paid for promotional piece. Linuxthefish (talk) 19:07, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
