Wikipedia is not WP:NOTCV. In past, multiple attempts has been made to move this entity into the main article namespace. High possibility of WP:COI/WP:UPE. It's time for WP:SALT. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion. - Hatchens (talk) 17:10, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @K.e.coffman: for an assessment (not for vote) as he had once nominated this entity for an AfD in 2017. -Hatchens (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: my assessment remains the same: "An advertorially toned BLP on an unremarkable businessperson. Significant RS coverage not found. Article cited to online directories, passing metions, WP:SPIP or other sources otherwise not suitable for notability. Created and edited by a number of blocked socks; sample: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jiteshdugar."

In this case, the article was created by Special:Contributions/Patroong with few other contributions outside the topic. So UPE is likely. --K.e.coffman (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I stumbled upon this BLP after watching Mittal on Shark Tank India where he's one of the shark. This BLP might not be written well but the subject seems notable in so many ways. Other than being a great entrepreneur who built businesses like Shaadi.com, Makaan.com, he was lead actor in Flavors (film), also co-produced 99 (2009 film). I suggest we rescue this BLP and improve it. --Saqib (talk) 12:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both of the films were financed by him, he didnt had a lead role in Flavors (film), he had an appearance with other actors in the movie. One appearance in a movie, fails WP:Actor. If he can have a Wikipedia page, invite everyone who has some money and appeared on any show as a judge. 27.100.15.30 (talk) 05:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and Salt: The subject is a borderline case and most of the articles are routine which anyone can have one they are featured in a reality show as a judge. He is a minority share holders in most of his companies. There are multiple occasions when their PR team has hired freelancers to Create his page. A very clear case of undisclosed paid edits and violation. This time don’t delete it, burn it. 2409:4052:2EA5:945E:8555:FF96:7101:84F7 (talk) 06:24, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Fails WP:Actor, has mostly routine coverage. 27.100.15.30 (talk) 05:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Shark Tank India Rest of the panel doesn't have articles, and per WP:CHEAP. Also salt to discourage re-creation. Nate • (chatter) 23:34, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Shark Tank India As per Nate. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 09:36, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: No significant coverage beside Shark Tank TV show. Neurofreak (talk) 10:32, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Falls short of WP:GNG due to lack of independent non-trivial coverage. Most sources seem to be interviews, announcements and passing mentions which do not contribute to notability. -- Ab207 (talk) 18:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
