No independent coverage in reliable secondary sources, does not meet WP:GNG. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 01:28, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

• Delete for now. Yet to meet WP:GNG. PenulisHantu (talk) 17:06, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to Rising (news show). Enjeti does not presently satisfy the WP:GNG, but could in the future. Zingarese talk · contribs 06:32, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

  I think this is reasonable. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:29, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

  Heh. See Talk:Rising (news show) §Merge – wbm1058 (talk) 17:42, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

• Keep. Significant coverage is a subjective call, but:

  Outside sources have written about him, e.g. Saagar Enjeti deserves better than Jim Acosta's scorn

  Here's another source recently writing about his tweets

  I suppose not as notable as his co-host Krystal Ball, but he does get mentioned in such articles.

  FWIW, I'll bet that this is his father, Prasad Enjeti. (notable power electronics engineers don't get much notice from Wikipedians)

  Might wait to see whether there are any reviews of his upcoming book, due for release on February 8, 2020. – wbm1058 (talk) 17:53, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

  I don't think those listed sources contribute much toward GNG. If the discussion were leaning delete, your point about his upcoming book would make me lean toward draftify, but if the discussion closes as redirect then there's no need and the article can be restored once coverage is available. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:32, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

• Weak keep per the above comment. Apart from articles written by Enjeti himself, there are a few more sources that this article could use. And I agree that the February book release is likely to lead to a few more. Wholesale deletion is a strange idea so I interpret this as an AfD to turn the article back into a redirect to The Hill. Connor Behan (talk) 15:07, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

  Hah, "the Daily Caller's Saagar Enjeti captured evidence" of socks in the White House briefing room! Is this an indication that the room was infiltrated by a Wikipedia editor who wanted to remain anonymous?! wbm1058 (talk) 15:58, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

  The additional sources provided here appear to just quote Enjeti's Twitter without saying much of anything about him. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:53, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Along with co-hosting a program alongside a well-known commentator/fmr political candidate, Enjeti is progressively gaining in online notoriety. --- Evans1982 (talk) 20:56, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

  Evans1982, could you provide evidence of this notoriety in the form of significant coverage? _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:52, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

• Keep (edit) Same as above. Rdzogschen (talk) 09:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

  @Rdzogschen: you've got to provide a rationale, dude. Zingarese talk · contribs 14:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

  Mr., Sir, friend, brother, etc. would be fine. Never dude. Rdzogschen (talk) 21:30, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

  Rdzogschen, ok, my sincere apologies. Zingarese talk · contribs 18:06, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

• Keep Mark as stub. Fostrdv (talk) 21:52, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

  Stub done. Rdzogschen (talk) 13:33, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

• I still stand by my position to redirect this article to his show. Presently, Enjeti lacks the significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources to qualify for an article of his own. I have looked at the sources provided by Wbm1058 and Connor Behan and I am convinced that they are not enough; Washington Examiner is of questionable reliability and the Townhall source I don't believe qualifies as significant coverage (and Townhall is also of questionable reliability). Same with the Federalist source (a very partisan publication of dubious notability), Vice (not significant coverage at all) and Spectator (ditto). I'd say it's WP:TOOSOON at this stage. Enjeti may certainly be notable in the future; I regularly watch Rising and am fairly impressed by him. Its also true that he has a book coming out soon, but he co-wrote it with Ball and I want to wait to see if there will be any reviews. Zingarese talk · contribs 14:21, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
