Over the last few days a number of SPAs have been posting articles about Subham Sahu (at AfD here) and his companies. If this article is to be believed, the group, founded last year, has expanded enormously in all directions; but any solid evidence of this is hard to find. The first reference in this article is the "about-us" page on the supposed company website, which is a deadlink. The parent page http://www.subrin.website seems to be available but not in use. The other two refs are a directory entry, and a picture of a factory; the "created by" link for the picture leads back to the company's Facebook page.

Google finds the Facebook page which has very little information, and links to the same website. It is beyond belief that so large an empire as is claimed has so little internet footprint: it appears to be a hoax, or at best an attempt to use Wikipedia to make a non-notable startup look vastly bigger and more important than it is.

I have included Subrin Rintel Ltd, one of the subsidiaries, whose references are once again to the group's non-website and to entries in WP lists placed by the SPA authors. JohnCD (talk) 16:52, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -There doesn't seem to be anything about these companies at all except for facebook and these entries. They can not be Notable (WP:GNG) with no online footprint ☕ Antiqueight ^haver 17:21, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non notable, in all probability an exercise in self promotion but may even be a hoax. Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 17:24, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Self-promotion of non-notable entities. Elaenia (talk) 06:05, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not DeleteI have seen this company's MD Interview on NDTV India. On 26th January 2016, Narendra Modi has awarded Subrin Groups of Companies as an upcoming brand of India. Even i was trying to find the source for this company but was not getting any reliable source. Since it's very hard to believe that this vast expanded company with too few social network out print but will suggest to keep this article going as i can bet the company presence. http://yellowpages.sulekha.com/bangalore/subrin-mapfre-insurance-company-ltd-whitefield-bangalore_contact-address http://subrin-groups-of-companies.shopclues.com/ http://www.indiamart.com/subrin-publications/ http://www.indiamart.com/subrin-curtains/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Premikpatel (talk • contribs) 11:53, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
