Subject fails to meet criteria for notability; sources are primarily from the subject's own website, or his LinkedIn account. The vast majority are duplicates. The most credible source, an article on CBC, was written by Goswami himself. Listed awards are by and large insignificant. A web search reveals that very few independent sources on Goswami exist, though he has an extensive network of self-promotional materials.

The level of detail in this article, predominantly in the section on early life, suggests the author was the subject himself. Stark similarities to content from his personal webpage points to the fact that this is meant as another element in his self-promotion strategy: http://manugoswami.com/my-story/ PerfectProposal 19:12, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doesn't seem to be more notable than many other aspiring young entrepreneurs. Lack of independent reliable sources is also troubling. Legaro (talk) 12:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is an up and coming yet still very much run of the mill business person. We are not a free resume service; we are a charity. Per the nom, many of the awards are negligible in importance. Bearian (talk) 14:32, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it's not just that the awards are not significant, it's also that they often are not awards and that they mostly remain unsourced. But more importantly, I have not found any reliable secondary source on the subject of this article. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 04:49, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
