Article about a non-notable businessperson that doesnt meet WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. News sources are regular WP:PROMO. Jamiebuba (talk) 08:52, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Honestly, I think there’s just about enough notability for it to be kept. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 11:31, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ScrabbleTiles, can you elaborate on "just about enough notability"? How did you come to this conclusion? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 11:46, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He has coverage in Forbes and has won an award there. I think that is enough for him to have an article. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 12:48, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A Forbes under 30 list does not exactly mean the subject is Notable. Jamiebuba (talk) 13:55, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are a lot here to establish notability. There are also multiple third party sources that talks about the subject of this article: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. All of these cannot be called WP:PROMO. The sources cited (e.g., EastMojo, Northeast Now, Humans of Northeast, etc.) are independent media outlets that have covered Rewaj Chettri without direct affiliation to him. Several of these articles have named authors, indicating that they were written by professional journalists rather than by PR agents or the subject himself. EastMojo and Northeast Now are widely recognized trustworthy media organizations in Northeast India that report on business, politics, and social issues. The subject has been featured in Forbes India 30 Under 30, which is an independent and prestigious recognition. You do not get into a Forbes list via PR agents. Also since the articles discuss Chettri’s entrepreneurial journey, challenges, and impact rather than just his company’s products/services, they contribute to an encyclopedic understanding rather than mere promotion. There are also multiple non english articles about him: [12], [13]. There are also research articles that talks about him: [14], [15], [16] Flyingphoenixchips (talk)

Delete: Per nomination. Taabii (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: A quick source analysis would do.

Delete. I looked through the sources provided by Flyingphoenixchips and a lot of them are pretty trivial (i.e., this singular mention in an image caption in this article [17]). Forbes is the most convincing out of all the sources so far but there is little beyond that and the trivial mentions. GuardianH 03:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom. nirmal (talk) 03:28, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A agree with the discussion above that name under Forbes doesn’t qualify a person for Wikipedia notability. There isn’t anything significant notable thing beyond it. Delete per nomination. Rahmatula786 (talk) 09:23, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
