The result was delete‎. Originally closed as no consensus, but with three of the Keeps having been blocked as sockpuppets or UPE, I now see a consensus to delete among participants in good standing. Kudos to Jeraxmoira for alerting me to this development. Owen× ☎ 11:18, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A promotional biography of a businessman fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. None of the sources constitute WP:SIGCOV. Majorly citations are WP:NEWSORGINDIA, WP:ROUTINE, and WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS. Just a detailed resume WP:NOTRESUME. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 09:05, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, India, and Odisha. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 09:05, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Subject is definitely Notable. There is extensive coverage of the topic in trustworthy sources (WP:RS) like Business Line, CNBC TV, and The Economic Times that establishes firmly that the topic qualifies under WP:GNG. One of the arguments of the nominator is that the article is written like a resume. I would like to propose that if there are any flaws in the tone or organization of the article, then indeed they may be made better. That's the purpose that editors are here for, to enhance content, not delete it. Baqi:) (talk) 07:19, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The subject meets WP:GNG. The person's work has won significant critical attention with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources like this. The tone or formatting can be addressed through editing. Monhiroe (talk) 05:56, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As per significant coverage in multiple reliable sources identified in this discussion that shows a pass of WP:GNG. LKBT (talk) 07:30, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article looked promising but it is part of the "Opinion" section of Business Standard. Regardless, I'm not seeing WP:THREE as the rest of the coverage is routine. The author is blocked for sockpuppetry, so this might be eligible for speedy deletion under WP:G5. Yuvaank (talk) 22:42, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The sources in the article do not meet WP:SIGCOV. Citing The Economic Times, BusinessLine, and The New Indian Express as being reliable sources when the pages being cited in question in the article are simply an author profiles shows a misunderstanding of what WP:GNG requires. Other articles mentioned in this discussion smell like promotional pieces. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 15:55, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Aside from a single Business Standard “Lunch with BS” feature, coverage is limited to press releases, appointment notices and platforms hosting Panda’s own columns, so there is no sustained, independent depth of sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Aeon Sentinel (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I found some Significant coverage that might be helpful to establish subject's notability. [1] Full In-depth article on Business India magazine ""A Force to reckon with" page no: 34, 35, 36, 37". [2] Another Significant coverage on Business Standard, Man of priorities: Ficci, family biz and food, Panda has his focus clear. [3] This in-depth interview by JESSICA ULLIAN on Boston University official website: Making holistic change: Subhrakant (Questrom’93) and Shaifalika Panda (Questrom’92). [4] An in-depth introduction written about the Panda by Henry Pettus Randall in his book: Who's who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.
