Speedy Keep Meets GNG. The article was created by User:Shwetamits who is neither a paid or blocked user. "Couldn't find any sources" is curious when the article lists 25, and many more in search. It is possible there is COI editing by User:Archanahrdept (update: looks like no COI), but that is a matter of educating the user and checking the article is verifiable and not overly promo ie. unrelated to AfD. FWIW the nom is a SPA who has made two edits as of today when they signed up, both attempts at deleting Indian cyber-security related topics. -- GreenC 19:47, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "Created by a paid and blocked user." some explanation and evidence would be great. Graywalls (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Varunvbs will explain himself? There are known rivalries between Mumbai-based cybersecurity industry gangs (not sure what else to call them) who deploy SPA socks to push their favorite guy and attack their competitors often using AfD as a weapon of choice. That's what this looks like, it involves a failed attempt to AfD Trishneet Arora who has a history of this sort of thing (if he is a victim and/or perp never sure). -- GreenC 02:09, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure it's possible, but WP:AGF ;) The request for explanation was directed at the AfD creator, FYI. Graywalls (talk) 05:04, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck, they will probably never log in again! -- GreenC 16:14, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Why people are using AFD as a weapon ????? Susheelgiri (talk) 18:05, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Based on above comments and this nonsensical nomination with biased and incorrect reasoning. You are supposed to conduct WP:BEFORE before nominating. If you want to remain as a good faith user in my books, kindly withdraw this nomination by following the procedure at WP:CLOSEAFD Roller26 (talk) 19:38, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Nomination rationale does not pass any scrutiny per GreenC. There are plenty of sources in this article that satisfy WP:GNG. Nominator possibly a WP:SPA, account sole edits are to AfD this and related article, and account was created 30 minutes before nom. Jumpytoo Talk 19:46, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
