Coverage is largely limited to routine industry announcements—including his role as Managing Director of Lokmat Media Group and brief legal mentions—without evidence of in-depth analysis or lasting significance. Sources primarily document corporate affiliations and procedural news. Fails GNG. Thilsebatti (talk) 07:56, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are references such as The Times of India, The Indian Express and Hindustan Times which are reliable resources. Meet WP:RS. Sooterout (talk) 06:48, 15 August 2025 (UTC)_{sock strike. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 08:24, 19 August 2025 (UTC)}[reply]
Indian Express is not covering the subject with the required broadness.

Hindustan Times fulfils the GNG and is the best one. https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/who-is-vijay-darda/story-cf6SZazEOhxldr3ObjZgnK.html Insillaciv (talk) 10:46, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Hindustan Times gives a good profile on the subject, while other news are more or less narrowly covering it. Insillaciv (talk) 10:47, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Zero independent sources and none of them are bylined. Fails GNG Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 18:14, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As far as I can tell all sources provided here and in the article fall into 2 categories. First are articles about the coal scandal for which he is just a note underneath his much more notable father. Second are articles saying he was elected to the Audit Bureau Commission. Importantly these latter articles do not provide any journalistic meat about Darda and they all say the same thing, in approximately the same order leading me to believe they are all based on a press release. As ATD I would not be opposed to a redirect to his father's page where he is mentioned, but I am unsure about the PAG of that. Moritoriko (talk) 01:41, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
