Article created by a COI editor and promoted from AFC by a now-indefblocked sockpuppet; subject is non-notable chocolatier with insufficient in-depth coverage in reliable sources. BD2412 T 23:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I am seeing lots of media attention, around a theme of articles based on interviews in Indian newspapers. I assume these are connected to a PR drive, but I don't want to write them all off, it seems lots of newspapers took an interest.

- Before I !vote, I'm wondering what people think of the coverage in these (and other) sources. CT55555 ( talk) 01:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - None of the articles above are acceptable. The best one is Timesofindia, but that one is mostly quotation, which is the same as an interview and not acceptable. Most of these publications could be paid PR. Zeddedm ( talk) 06:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I'd like to see more feedback on the articles found by CT55555 and whether they establish some level on notability or are just, as BD2412 implies, PR drivel.

- My opinion on the articles provided above is that, unfortunately, they're inapropriate. All of them, instead of providing info about this guy and what he's doing, are instead cute-sounding stereotypical advertising snippets (buzzwords covered in chocolate, dare i say :-)). So yeah, coupled with the fact that this was created by banned users and a sockpuppet... Delete. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips ( talk) 15:15, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
