Siddhartha Das

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not enough coverage in reliable sources to verify or sustain an article. References include press releases and a book he published. Article reads like a resume. Even if his parents are notable, notability is not inherited. Subject fails general notability, WP:NAUTHOR and WP:ANYBIO. Jbh ^Talk 00:02, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because I haven't found many good sources aside from one at News from Press Trust of India but when you click the link it says "site under construction" as well as if you search the link at Archive.org. Scholar found several results for a "S. Das" but I'm not sure if that's him. Either way, I'm not seeing much and I'm not familiar with those awards to know if they're notable.

Delete for now. Article is written in a promotional style, like saying "is a Nehru trustee" while meaning "has received a travel scholarship from the Nehru Trust". Most sources in teh article are press release style announcements of his lectures. The only thing that might come close to pass WP:ANYBIO is winning the 2008 International Young Design Entrepreneur of the Year award, but this turns out to be something organized by the British Council jointly with the organizers of a UK design trade fair, and the prize that goes with the award is getting a free ticket to the trade fair and make a speach there.
