Fails WP:NAUTHOR. This article is part of a COI effort to promote Kumar and his books. I have not been able to find any additional WP:RS to establish notability. shoy (reactions) 12:52, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep the references in the article enable a borderline pass of WP:BASIC, the author of the article has only created this page not any book articles. If you can explain the coi issue may change vote. Atlantic306 (talk) 15:11, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this does not meet WP:NAUTHOR by anty stretch of the imagination. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's one of the reasons it's here, plus the promo for the book. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:44, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not meet WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG, a gsearch brings up nothing useable, just blogs, facebook etc., did find a review of Know Thyself here[1] by the Zordor Times but "Created By Sora Templates and My Blogger Themes" at the bottom of the page and "We are Zordar! Details coming soon" on the About page[2] does not engender confidence. Coolabahapple (talk) 01:01, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as still no actual substance. SwisterTwister talk 06:11, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment notwithstanding the subjects doubtful notability, the style of writing doesn't follow encyclopaedic styleWP:MOS, e.g. at length it reflects on the subjects state of mind (He rebelled against every religious idea. Moreover, during his childhood and early years, Gian Kumar struggled with a lack of financial comforts. Being a scientifically inclined person, he questioned every experience happening during his life, more so his struggles.) while providing little noteworthy, verifiable information. This needs to be rewritten accordingly, by someone who is familiar with the subject, or lack thereof, deleted. --Jôanes (talk) 16:01, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I trimmed out much of the promotional content and editorializing nonetheless, the author lacks significant notability and the page was written as a puff piece. Meatsgains (talk) 02:59, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
