Article is extremely puffy about both Barot and his companies, sources either don't meet WP:RS (such as being company sources or company-provided statements) or just mention the subject in passing. I only could find the two articles mentioned ("Imported Entrepreneurs" and "Keepers of the Dream") on the subject's website, and assuming they're accurate, they told his story but didn't establish notability beyond "successful businessperson." Article mentions a small business award, but I'm not sure that's sufficient for notability either. Overall, I don't think the article meets WP:NBIO, and is sufficiently promotional/puffy that even if the subject were notable it would probably need the WP:TNT treatment. creffett ( talk) 18:26, 31 May 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete since subject fails WP:GNG. The sources invoked are: lists, which simply name drop the subject, such as this; irrelevant sources, not mentioning the subject at all, such as this New York Times piece; reports about someone else where the subject is name-dropped once, such as this CNN article; an advertorial ( here); and dead links, e.g. here, here, etc. It's a well lighted yet empty lot. - The Gnome ( talk) 13:19, 6 June 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete. A bio article in which most biographical detail is unsourced. Mccapra ( talk) 05:00, 7 June 2019 (UTC) reply
