Rakshit Tandon

Similar to the previous “expert” we visited, this one too fails WP:GNG. Most newspaper article are just passing mentions of him. There were fake claims that he delivered speech/conducted conference in UN. But it happened to be some other international group which is connected with UN or something such. Also, the article has been stuffed back with trivial places he has spoken at and these are all cited with primary sources. Note: Before you throw a Google search or Google news search link here at AfD, please trying opening those links and reading through them before and point to us what notable aspect can be added in the article. As already accepted, he has trivial passing mentions in news and being related to web world, getting things published shouldn’t be a big deal for the subject. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:38, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I've been looking at this article for a while now trying to find some reasonable sources. The author doesn't make it easy by repeatedly spamming it with quotes, conference attendances, and other associated puffery. While there are quotes from him in many places and he's attended conferences, there's no significant coverage about him in reliable sources. The quoting on the internet and ghits is what you'd expect for someone in this field, after all it's all cyber space stuff. Given the lack of reliable source coverage about the subject, the article should be deleted. —SpacemanSpiff 09:52, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All primary sources as always and no secondary or tertiary coverage of Tandon. These only prove that he spoke at these places and who knows what he spoke. Had he been speaking something worth noting, newspapers like The Hindu, Hindustan Times or even TOI would have bothered to write about him. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:36, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
