Would have CSD G4ed, but it appears this third time around secondary sources have been added as references. Nevertheless, seems to be a fail of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. nearlyevil 665 14:26, 2 May 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep - He is as successful and as notable as Vijay Shekhar Sharma, who is another Indian fintech entrepreneur. Secondly the two major companies founded by him - Freecharge and CRED are both notable enough to have their own articles on Wikipedia. Isn't it reasonable to expect that the founder of those two companies is therefore also notable enough to deserve his own article. Andbridge ( talk) 14:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete and salt. Some sources in the article, like this one, seem to qualify for WP:GNG, but some other, like this article, don't qualify as significant coverage; news of a large share purchase like this is probably just WP:ROUTINE coverage. This one, I'm not sure if it's even news. The website looks like a blog, from what I can see, It even says "blog" under "Articles" in the header. Per WP:BLOG, this wouldn't qualify for WP:GNG. Some other coverage I'm seeing in this article: a Statista infographic (not significant coverage), a "Most Successful Indian Entrepeneurs" listicle (also not significant coverage), and some more routine coverage of a company ( [1]). The only sources I think are reliable and which would qualify for WP:GNG are these two: [2] [3]. Even then, I'm not too sure about the reliability of the first one, Kunal Shah: Scoring On Trust. The authors of it don't appear to have any past experience with articles like it, mostly Buzzfeed style posts. (For example, "Swipe right on these shows for more dating drama" doesn't strike me as a journalistic article.) Seeing as how the Kunal Shah article has been re-created 3 times, each time failing to cite any significant coverage or establish notability, I would support a SALT.

• Delete He is a noteworthy person in the Indian startup scene, but there isn't enough coverage in reliable sources to justify an article yet. Neutral on "salt". M4DU7 ( talk) 06:19, 27 May 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep per Andbridge. I've also made some edits on the article which improve the look-and-feel / formatting (nothing major though, just removing some extra periods and such). Dr. Universe ( talk) 17:24, 27 May 2021 (UTC) reply
