Matharu does not appear to have garnered significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, and therefore fails to satisfy the biographical and general notability guidelines. Please see the attached source assessment table. Much of the article is not supported by the citations provided and appears to be written like a curriculum vitae.
Source assessment table:
| ||||
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
[1] | Matharu co-authored the book. | Online shops are not reliable sources. | It is a book co-authored by Matharu, but it isn't about him. | ✘ No |
[2] | Published by a professional organisation, however it is one he is a member of and "involved with" its activities. | No red flags in this instance. | One of Matharu's publications is mentioned once in a further reading section. | ✘ No |
[3] | Fundraising page operated by Matharu. | ~ For basic details, yes. For corroborating achievements, no. | By virtue of being self-published. | ✘ No |
[4] | Does not appear to be affiliated with the school. | It is a transcript of a speech he has given and it is cited in the article to back up his own claims. | A transcript of a speech is not significant coverage. | ✘ No |
[5] | Ditto. | Ditto. | Ditto. | ✘ No |
[6] | Appears to be unaffiliated. | Internal news article of an reputable institute. | Matharu is mentioned once in passing. | ✘ No |
[7] | As with source 2. | More red flags than the source 2. It's a documentation of several workshops, one of which Matharu ran for APM, with no indication that the press office was a separate arm of the association. | Mentions his name, but the paragraph about his workshop is dedicated to the workshop content itself. | ✘ No |
[8] | Clearly published by an affiliated organisation: "MEET YOUR COURSE MANAGER". | ~ For basic details, probably. For claims of notability, especially in a prospectus-like publication, no. | The column dedicated to Matharu does cover him in detail, by virtue of being affiliated. | ✘ No |
