Article on a non-notable marketer, commissioned from a paid editor. The article is based entirely on puff "profiles", interviews, advertorials and other low quality, non-independent sources. Searches turn up no significant coverage in independent sources. Melcous has cleaned up some of the more blatantly spammy text, but this is still a clear attempt to use Wikipedia for self-promotion. – Joe ( talk) 15:35, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Subject has made significant contribution to the digital marketing industry when you google him. Should qualify under WP:BASIC References are secondary sources. There are a lot advertorials but articles do come up for him on yourstory, economic times, businessworld. I am fairly new here but I would think those are recognised publications. Also, he is a reknowned speaker in the digital marketing field. Wikilover2604 ( talk) 18:05, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- I'm afraid you have to look a little deeper than the titles of publications; for example, I presume this is the "Economic Times" (actually Times of India economic section) hit you were referring to, as I could find no other reference which matches that assertion. That page is nothing more than a "corporate dossier"; essentially a self-filed questionnaire about the man's favourite bars and travel vistas. That's not a reliable source, nor in-depth coverage, both of which we would need to retain this article. The "BusinessWorld" page is another example; it's not constituted by coverage of Arya, that could provide evidence of his purported notability: it's a blog post/editorial by him, about balancing work and family. I've looked at every source I could turn up that looked even initially promising, but in the end virtually all were promotional/non-independent, and none of them were WP:reliable sources under our policies.

- Delete: per nomination. A WP:BEFORE source shows up a bunch of self promotion, much like this seems to be. Melcous ( talk) 21:56, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: the sourcing does at first look as if it may barely pass muster for GNG, until one reviews the actual content of those sources, and it becomes obvious that none of them are
WP:reliable sources under our policies, but are instead advertisements and other non-independent and non-secondary fluff. Albeit with some of it masquerading (poorly) as indendent media coverage. and even these promotional pages say next to nothing of substance about the man, aside from to list his educational history and mention his role in a family-owned hotel business. The rest is all vague, hagigraphic assertions about the man's supposed "revolutionary" role in the development of online marketing (strange that such a giant has evaded all indpendent business news media attention); these statements almost all hit a spot between grandiose-sounding and so indefinitely worded (and ambiguously attributed) as to be nonsensical--for example
"Avijit Arya has to his credit testimonials accredited by the finest, attested to his exponential experience..."
and"Thus, his acute understanding of the entire industry and related verticals!"
. Clearly lacking the necessary in-depth, independent coverage in reliable, secondary sources to establish WP:Notability at this time. Snow let's rap 23:53, 18 December 2017 (UTC) - Delete fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO due to the lack of substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

- Delete The sourcing fails requirements for being indepdent of the subject and indepth. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:56, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
