The result was speedy keep. Per consensus. Being on the Forbe's billionaires list is certainly a valid claim to notabilty, a status backed up by the current references and confirmed by the 1,000,000+ Google hits on his name. Sure, We don't judge notability on WP:GOOGLEHITS but a million plus, even if we discount ninety per cent of them? Philg88 ^♦talk 20:20, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a media mogul who owns multiple news channels and companies. While most of the news channels passes WP:ORG but since WP:NOTINHERIT the subject may not pass our notability threshold. Most of the coverage is just passing mentions and a large amount of coverage is not independent of the subject (News reports from his own channels). Furthermore, few independent sources can't be used as most of them are of controversies, which can't be added as it would look WP:UNDUE and will be a violation of WP:BLP. I don't feel it passes GNG, but what's others opinion? Jim Carter 05:35, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- The subject is notable and have significance coverage in reliable sources (excluding those from his own company) (look here and here). This article meets the general notability guidelines. He is chairperson and founder of well-known tv channels and Essel group which is one of the biggest investor in Digital India and Make in India (see here). Your this Afd is just to waste precious time of the editors. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 06:51, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cutest Penguin Obviously I understand how precious community's time is, please don't use such inflammatory words. Furthermore, please understand that notability is not inherited, if he is the chairperson and founder of a well known company that doesn't mean he is also significant enough to have his own article. Also, please make sure you understand the difference between passing mentions and indepth coverage; excluding sources of his company, I can't see any indepth coverage. It's just passing mentions.

Jim Carter Let it be on the consensus. I gave my views as per my understanding and WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. The subject is notable, not according to me but as per the references. There are certain books that you should go through for depth coverage. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 12:56, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
