The article seems to be an attempt at personal branding. Neither of the person's works is substantial enough to merit an article. Decisionstats is a run-of-the-mill blog with feeble engagement. The books are mostly niche and technical; nothing groundbreaking. A simple Google search turns little more than a few related results for the person.

  • Retain a writer with three published books (2 in Springer 1 by Wiley). One book translated in Chinese. The not so notable blogger hs ~ 1 million views as on site. Article has been on Wikipedia since two years. Deletion attempt seems more like personal vendetta and targeting (see User Shubhamjain1 does not have a page anymore).
Is there any false statement on it? Notability for article has been achieved by writing books as well as articles and interviews
Writer has been featured in Wired Magazine as well as ReadWrite magazine. In addition he has been featured in KDNuggets as one of the five data scientists for " A Day in the life of a data scientist."
Judging by proposed criterion for deletion all scientists would be considered to have written niche and technical books.
3 books in data science and mentioned in wired magazine, read write magazine, and kdnuggets. by repeatedly pointing out the blog, its obscuring the fact the author has been mentioned in magazines and written books. otherwise all data scientists would be non notable.
This is a clear personal attack by Shubham Jain for making sure business activities contribute to deletion rival blog. Shubham what have you contributed to wikipedia apart for this - that proves its a personal attack not one by honest editor.
Why the haste to put article for deletion tag and then delete page by ShubhamJain1? iwannacrib ( talk) 04:26, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply
It seems you are far more interested in personal attacks than presenting evidence for your defense. The person in the Google search isn't me and I don't have any association (of adversary or otherwise) with the person mentioned in the article. To answer your arguments: no, writing few technical books isn't enough criterion to merit an article. If that were the case, there would be an article for every O'Reilly author. Secondly, there are hardly any comments on the Decisionstats blog, or any press mentions, or any groundbreaking posts. All three are a close proxy for notability. If such low recognition is enough to warrant an article, Wikipedia would be inundated with hundreds of thousands of them.
My account is pretty old, but I don't use it very often. Again, if you think you're being unfairly targetted, you're better-off presenting valid criteria for notability which conforms to Wiki Guidelines than ad-hominems. Shubham Jain ( talk) 10:03, 26 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Lets do this analytically. Let the editors with seniority see other activity by me and Shubham Jain, including logins, ip addresses, contributions and see who is fake , or targeting attack.

Retain page for necessary and sufficient notability
1) Writer has written two books for Springer (a notable publisher) and one of the books is translated in Chinese
2) Writer has written one book for Wiley (a notable publisher)
3) Writer has written dozens of articles for Programmable Web (notable website) at https://www.programmableweb.com/profile/ajayohri
4) Writer has been interviewed in " A Day in the life of a data scientist" by KD Nuggets (Notable web site)
5) Writer has been mentioned both by Wired Magazine and ReadWriteWeb (notable websites)
6) Additional notable writings have been mentioned with proper links in articles
Wikipedia has clear issues of notability. This author in data scientist meets it. This article enhances Wikipedia rather than diminishes it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iwannacrib ( talk • contribs) 11:34, 5 April 2018 (UTC) reply
If you want to dispute the rules of Wikipedia about the notability criteria for biographies, you are free to do so at the appropriate forum. In fact, I'd encourage you to do so. Until the rules change, we abide by them. It's actually quite simple.
In the meantime, you accused a fellow Wikipedia contributor of something extremely serious: That he's engaging in a "personal vendetta" against you for financial gain. Do you have something tangible to back up such an accusation, or would you prefer to withdraw it, apologize, and focus on the article? I'd strongly suggest you follow the second path. Take care. - The Gnome ( talk)

A google and linkedin search for Shubham Jain finds a blogger for another Indian blog analyticsvidhya.com . That was the basis. Since we live in a fog of who is who and who is anonymous- that was the rationale. Yes Wikipedia has self promoted articles. You have to be fair to each tech writer here. Otherwise people who create wiki pages will be discouraged and the spam page creators would have won Iwannacrib ( talk

I would recommend someone who has data science knowledge to judge here with serious prior wiki editing credntials Iwannacrib ( talk
