Fails WP:NBIO. References are from primary sources and the article has been written by someone with close association with the individual as clear from one of the stated references Majumder, Sayan with account Sayan999 the seems to have an undisclosed COI. The content of the article is Primarly self promotion and does not establish notability. Hagennos (talk) 20:22, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I can't find any significant news coverage, and nothing on his book either, but it might be because it has very bad rankings.[1] --Ysangkok (talk) 14:05, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think that the article passes WP:GNG easily and we should not delete every article that has been added by someone with COI issues. My issues are with COI and those I am going to deal with in the next few days. I am already working to sort out a few other COI problems in some other articles, so I will add this to my watchlist and edit this as well. As the subject is notable we should work on building a correct article instead of deleting everything. Elektricity (talk) 10:22, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are planning on editing the article request you to move it to the draft space and edit it there. Hagennos (talk) 19:17, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hagennos I think you misunderstood. My opinion is that the subject is notable, quite notable as one might say. However the peacock and promo concerns int he article should be removed. I don't think it is appropriate to draftify an article just because it has promotional and peacock terms. We should fix these in mainspace. Elektricity (talk) 10:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- promo 'cruft on a nn individual. Possibly created as part of a walled garden around the subject's company, which has been deleted here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HashCash Consultants. No value to the project. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:44, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete promo. House1090 (talk) 01:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The COI issues needs to be resolved. But the subject has good coverage from several independent sources outside of his company. Passes WP:GNG. I will update some references and improve the article. Shivaji_Mitra (talk) 08:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is your third edit in three years. Are you affiliated with Mr. Chowdhury? --Ysangkok (talk) 15:06, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@[[User:Ysangkok|Ysangkok] it doesn't have much impact. I have added sufficient sources to the article so that the notability is now even more clear, and I have removed most of peacocks, and am working on removing more. I will keep an eye on it even after the AFD so that no fluff is added. Elektricity (talk) 10:23, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Elektricity you had not responded Ysangkok if you are affiliated with Mr. Chowdhury. If you have a COI it is important that you disclose it. Please respond on your talk page. Hagennos (talk) 13:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hagennos I have not responded? I think you have not understood or read what is written here. I actually removed the peacock and other terms which COI edits had added, and as Ysangkok commented that perhaps Shivaji_Mitra has a COI, I pointed out that as I have watchlisted the article, it will not be easy to just edit and add promotional terms this time around, so there is not much of an impact that a COI account can have. Elektricity (talk) 13:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Elektricity. My bad. Apologies. Hagennos (talk) 13:25, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hagennos no problem. Kindly remove the template from my TP when you have time.Elektricity (talk) 13:28, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ysangkok No, I am not affiliated with the subject. I feel, teaming up against users who post Keep with conspiracy theories isn't helping us progress with a fair discussion. I am here to reason and work with you. Thank you.(talk) 01:39, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't think the article satisfies WP:GNG. Most media mentions as not significant. Adamgerber80 (talk) 15:19, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
