Talk:Shaurya Doval

Draft created after deletion review

@K.e.coffman and S Marshall: given this deletion review I'd appreciate extra eyes on the draft. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:45, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

• Hi, thanks for the invitation. I'm not sure that it's right to say Shaurya Doval is a politician? -- I think he's a businessman primarily, who's making early steps to break into politics. Let's say, charitably, that the sources seem to be about his political ambitions rather than his political achievements.—S Marshall T/C 16:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Center for American Progress	Text probably provided by Doval		One paragraph profile	✘ No

Hindustan Times		User:Winged Blades of Godric/Indian Media#Hindustan Times casts a little doubt, but this piece seems perfectly reliable - the same is reported in the other newspapers	A ten-paragraph news article entirely about Doval, giving secondary analysis and reactions on his stepping into party politics	✔ Yes
Amar Ujala	Not intellectually independent - based on an article in the Hindustan Times	User:Winged Blades of Godric/Indian Media#Amar Ujala		✘ No

Indian Express #4		WP:INDIANEXP	News story on Doval's poster campaign, tour of the region and reaction of his political party (similar to the Jansatta coverage)	✔ Yes
Eisenhower Fellowships	but WP:PRIMARY source		useful to confirm he was awarded the fellowship, but little content	✘ No
Chandigarh University #1	but WP:PRIMARY source		After Doval's speech, at 30 minutes in, the chancellor speaks of Doval in glowing terms but the description of his career and contribution to society is based on the same text used elsewhere, and may well have been provided, or at least reviewed by, Doval.	✘ No
Chandigarh University #2	but WP:PRIMARY source		confirms that the award was made, but otherwise is Doval expressing his own opinions	✘ No

I have assessed that the subject passes WP:GNG due to significant and sustained coverage (2017-2020) in multiple reliable, independent publications. The draft was rewritten from the previous ones that were deleted and I don't think any content in this version is promotional. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Remove speedy

I removed the speedy, given that the article has come through the draft process and the other comments and reviews on the talk page. This subject does not qualify for WP:G4. Jeepday (talk) 11:58, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

It has also been at AFD at least two times. Including just last month and been deleted each time. THis article should be deleted and SALTED....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:05, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear William Yes, it was deleted previously. But then, after discussions with other Wikipedians, I was asked to write a draft which would be closely assessed. If you could read the talk page and the 2nd Deletion Nomination, you can find out the details. Ht24 (talk) 12:09, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
