WP:BLP of a television personality, which makes and sources no strong claim of notability per WP:CREATIVE. The main notability hook here is that he placed third in a reality show, but that's not something that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself -- and the only "source" here is not real coverage in a real reliable source, but an extremely advertorially-toned "biography" of him on a non-notable blog, which was written by the creator of this article with the express purpose of creating a "reference" for this article. Per WP:INDAFD, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can find real sourcing which properly indicates that he actually passes WP:GNG for something -- but if real RS coverage does not exist, Wikipedia editors do not get to write and self-publish their own WP:CIRCULAR referencing to get around that gap.

• Delete. The only mentions I can find in reliable sources are articles about Bigg Boss 3, not about the subject. Fails WP:BIO. utcursch | talk 15:42, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
