The result was delete. Consensus that the sources that exist aren't sufficient to prove biographical notability. As the sources provided by the Keep !voter have had a rebuttal provided, I don't think a relist to consider unseen new info is necessary Nosebagbear ( talk) 10:36, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Shah fails WP:GNG as he is not someone whom has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and thus he "is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Dr42 ( talk) 10:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Most of the references are from one publication and also some of the references are dead ,if he was notable the article would've been constantly updated and fixing deadlinks would'nt be a problem since he is a living person Georgiamarlins ( talk) 13:23, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - Here are a few references and media coverage I found: The Entrepreneur, Forbes India, Business Insider, Economic Times. Mr RD 17:30, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- They don't really cut it as they are all promotional in nature, and two of them are the type of coverage that is explicitly prohibited from establishing notability, re: finance information. Lets look at each in turn:
- * Short interview give by the subject himself. Not independent, nor secondary, nor intellectually in-depth.
- * A longer interview on new startup company cred on startup section. Not independent, nor secondary, nor intellectually in-depth
- * Its a slide with no explanation. Non-rs.
- * Some name drop. Not non-rs but not fit as a ref, finance info, explicitly prohibited to proving notability.
