• Keep: I think his work with the savetheinternet.in campaign last year made him notable and warranted a short piece about him on Wired. Article updated.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 13:18, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- Wired is a short piece and is based on an interview with Pahwa; WP:TOOSOON. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:52, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@K.e.coffman: There are also articles about or centred around him on Forbes, The Guardian, (now linked in the article), Hindustan Times, Frontline, The Verge, etc. Merging MediaNama into his article along with sections on his net neutrality activism, will make this a decent article.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 09:50, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I think that should be deleted as the resources are very much, so many sources are not available in the search engine, to prove that this page can be kept. Warm Regards- ( User:HappyToHelp talk)

Note that HappytoHelp, a new user, pasted the same message as above at the AfD for Jindal Group. Moreover, the nominator, Nervegolgi's only activity on Wikipedia thus far has been to nominate Nikhil Pahwa and his website MediaNama for deletion.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 14:46, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Agree, a lack of source that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Fails GNG. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 17:04, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Have JPL, HighKing et al actually looked at the sources that Cpt.a.haddock has added to the article? There are in-depth profiles of the subject in reliable sources right there. A Train^talk 11:11, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - the significance and depth of the references in the article show that subject passes WP:GNG. Inter&anthro (talk) 00:07, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
