Fails WP:ANYBIO. Found the page while searching for sponsored or paid news sources. Evaluation of sources from the article are below. I also did a WP:BEFORE and found nothing better. There was an article in Mid Day which is a “brand media” piece which falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA as do many of the references already on the page. CNMall41 ( talk) 04:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Review of sources:
- 1. The Indian Express, page not found
- 2. Hindustan Times, brief mention of him offering someone education.
- 3. Outlook India, “brand spotlight” article which is a sponsored post and falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA.
- 4. Dainik Jagran, (through Google Translate) brief mention of him in a quote.
- 5. Times of India, brief announcement of him marrying 111 people. No byline so likely falls under NEWSORGINDIA.
- 6. Amar Ujala, (through Google Translate), mentioned once in the article which is not about him.
- 7. Hindustan, unable to translate but is a single paragraph so not likely in-depth about the subject.
- 8. Dainik Jagran, (through Google Translate) a few sentences announcing a trip overseas. Nothing in-depth.
- 9. Amar Ujala, (through Google Translate) same as above and posted one day apart so likely churnalism from a press release or PR campaign.
- 10. Amar Ujala, (through Google Translate), similar to the two above. Posted about week after giving a brief recap of him going on a trip to London. Nothing in-depth about him.
- 11 & 12 - Both are brief and appear to have the same content, nothing in-depth.
- 13. Source has no link for me to evaluate. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 04:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: This subject fails WP:GNG for lack of in-depth third-party coverage by reliable sources; and separately fails WP:ANYBIO, per nom. Thanks CNMall41 for delving into the WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. They are accurately described. Though, the first does exist archived, but reads like an advertisement. JFHJr ( ㊟) 05:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete based on the sources analyzed above. Nothing but mostly churnalism. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
