The subject of this biography, created by an indefinitely blocked sock account, does not appear to meet notability criteria outlined in WP:BIO. Evaluating the references I find that the following: 1) the Twocircle.net reference is a local news story that merely includes the subject in a single sentence among a list of others, 2) second reference is a dead link, but appears to have been just an alumni directory listing, 3) third reference does not mention the subject, and 4) subject's own webpage. It boils down to no independent sources supporting notability of the subject. Deli nk (talk) 18:16, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment from nominator: After a second look, it appears that this article is merely a copy of Rahat Indori with some alterations and deletions. Therefore, I strongly question the accuracy of the article's existing content and this article may fit the criteria for speedy deletion as a hoax. Deli nk (talk) 18:32, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
