Despite appearances, there is nothing to show notability here. Although the article has been re-worked since the previous AfD, all the references are either passing mentions, or don't mention the subject, or are not independent. There is no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject as required by WP:BIO or WP:N. —SMALL JIM 09:21, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Despite having a large amount of facebook, twitter following which clearly display curiosity among crowd( including Wiki founder Mr.Wales), despite having more than 2 dozen "passing mentions" and being MD of a nearly 10 billion dollar empire which has been built from scratch and stuff some people know about his contribution to society, I don't know why SmallJim is after this page so badly. Please refer to my debate with him on this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vaibhav_Maloo Left it upon merit. I can provide more links and massive media exposures on their way, I hear from my sources. Beats me ! Alongside, I want to submit that these are the best publications, both in India and abroad. All the issues have been flagged by just one person who doesn't see things my way. Request someone to mediate and end this argument. Please note that circumstances w.r.t. media requirements has changed in the last 2 years since the first recommendation during which too SmallJim was after this article. Kindly note. There is no comparison between what I read must have happened in 2012 and now. This person is of Indian origin but resides abroad now. This SmallJim is using JSTOR which gives zero results for Indian Prime Ministers. I mean, has he not taken wikipedia training? 89.150.19.3 (talk) 13:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)89.150.19.3 (talk) 13:28, 17 May 2014 (UTC)— 89.150.19.3 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — Kryptonite1234 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Half of the comment was added by the IP and the other half by Kryptonite1234 (see page history), who are both SPAs, so I tagged both of them... Thomas.W ^talk 21:39, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Wikipedia notability isn't inherited. So even though Vinay Maloo, who apparently is the subject's father, and Enso Group seem to be notable, that notability doesn't rub off on the subject of this article. Who seems to be not notable on his own. Thomas.W ^talk 21:25, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BIO: none of the provided reliable sources convey the requisite significant coverage required by WP:BASIC/WP:GNG. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 21:27, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

how do you know he is not equally notable, age? just because he is second generation? sure go ahead in that case. if you see the articles, his sources are more credible and more descriptive with his quotations showing he matters. How does wikipedia work? I have read a bit but this bit is unclear.Kryptonite1234 (talk) 21:45, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep MD of a large firm who took time out of college to build the empire, seems like software isn't the only place where people made money. Doing good community work and MD of Tour De India. Definitely noteworthy. Typical case of being overshadowed by father.Crazybots (talk) 23:01, 17 May 2014 (UTC) Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Crazybots (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.

Keep I agree with Crazybots , very impressive profile and doing noteworthy work.Hakunamatatalk (talk) 23:04, 17 May 2014 (UTC) Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Hakunamatatalk (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. (diff)[reply]

Keep I support too. Why you after this page? just relax — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allahthegreat (talk • contribs) 23:11, 17 May 2014 (UTC) Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Allahthegreat (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. (diff)[reply]

Comment While it may be completely coincidental, please note that Crazybots and Hakunamatatalk both seem to have established their Wikipedia accounts specifically and only to comment on this AfD, and did so within a span of 5 minutes. Likewise Allahthegreat was created only 5 minutes later. Dwpaul ^Talk 23:14, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

People relax, I don't know who all these people are. I am in talks with Tea House and other people. There is still a day or two before the verdict, lets wait and watch. If its deleted, its deleted. Thats all. Kryptonite1234 (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed as canvassed per this admission, and so marked. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 16:27, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for a lack of significant coverage. Does not appear to be notable on his own. Huon (talk) 03:32, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lack of secondary source notability, which a bulk of social media mentions doesn't provide. doktorb _words^deeds 03:55, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
