This article was previously kept due to aggressive assertions of notability, but with a pretty strong view that it needed WP:TNT standard improvement. It has not been improved. It is still a puff piece. I am reviewing the list of papers, they are very often pay to play or even fake journals.

  • What's interested too is that this article, under the full name Acharya Balkrishna was speedily deleted four times, twice by @ Diannaa:, who then SALTED it. It was then recreated under only the last name, seemingly just to evade the ban on recreation. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 21:07, 10 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • The most recent two previous versions were copyvio from this web page. Hence the salting. The current version is quite different. Checking the Forbes citation shows him as of today ranked as 19th richest person in India, so I think notability is established and we should keep the article. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 00:09, 11 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • comment is it standard Wikipedia policy that a page that needs improvement should be deleted if it doesn't improve? Egaoblai ( talk) 06:54, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Non-notable fluff. Sportsfan 1234 ( talk) 15:00, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete -- Does not meet WP:ANYBIO and 19th richest person in India is an insufficient claim of significance. It's very much a tribute page on an otherwise non notable individual. K.e.coffman ( talk) 03:37, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply
