Repeatedly rejected at AfC, unilaterally moved to mainspace by one of the primary contributors. The provided coverage is limited to press releases, unreliable sources without bylines, WP:ROUTINE coverage, and trivial coverage in the form of softball interviews and quotes from the subject in the context of one of the companies that he has worked for. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:51, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ahnaf Lion (talk) 16:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)The person described here is a veteran of the Indian media industry and even though he has primarily worked in STAR, STAR is a behemoth player in the industry and his performance & contribution for STAR has actually impacted the industry notably. Unilateral decision of the primary contributor to move the article was motivated by his being a scholar of Indian sub-continent media industry. The citations inserted here are from sources that are notable among the industry critics. Also, a same version of the article was reviewed and approved in 2018. Therefore, the article shouldn't at all e deleted. Ahnaf Lion (talk) 16:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The 2018 review was conducted by Frayae, who has been blocked as a sockpuppet that was approving non-notable promotional articles. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:12, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Still has the same fundamental problems as the version most recently rejected at AfC (link). Cheers, 1292simon (talk)
• Delete Purely promotional article that lacks evidence of passing WP:GNG or any applicable WP:SNG. Coverage that is significant is either not independent or not reliable and vice-versa. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
