The article appears to be a **self-promotional piece** rather than an encyclopedic entry. The subject, Evan Luthra, does not meet Wikipedia’s **notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:ENTREPRENEUR)** as there is a **lack of reliable, independent secondary sources** that provide significant coverage. Most of the sources cited are **self-published, PR-driven, or affiliated with the subject**, failing WP:RS.

Additionally, this page was **previously nominated for deletion in 2018**, where it was found to lack verifiable independent coverage. The recreation of the article does not demonstrate a significant change in the sourcing or notability of the subject. Instead, it continues to serve as a **promotional page** aimed at building a personal brand rather than providing verifiable, neutral, and encyclopedic content.

As per Wikipedia’s guidelines, articles that primarily exist for **self-promotion, lacking reliable sources, and failing notability criteria** should be deleted. Therefore, I propose this article for deletion. Spider1217 (talk) 07:09, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Questioning the reliability of some sources. Many mention Luthra being included in Forbes 30 Under 30 but I can't find this factualized on any Forbes site? Hmr (talk) 17:36, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Not remarking on his notability because it is a self published source but Coffeezilla has a hilarious 12 minute video about him on YouTube, and then a 90 minute interview. Moritoriko (talk) 04:06, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Reading the sources already in the article only the CNBC article seems possibly useful but it I hesitate to say it means anything anyways and nothing else that I have been able to find meets any of the other notability guidelines. If you want a laugh you can read this paid pr piece though [1] Moritoriko (talk) 04:06, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
