Promotional. The references don't add to the notability Gauravs 51 (talk) 06:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Note: At the time of nomination, the article was partially hijacked to be about someone from Nigeria rather than the actual Indian subject. I get the impression that the nominator is challenging the notability of the correct subject as well (even that has been tagged as promotional since 2022), but I wanted to note the even-more-promotional hijacking — which I have reverted — that might have prompted the AfD. (I have no opinion or further comment.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 07:28, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

- Keep A quick google books search [1] shows numerous sources. No indication of WP:BEFORE from the nominator. I see no issue with notability here. ResonantDistortion 09:30, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep book length biographies of the subject (eg M. S. Gore "Vitthal Ramji Shinde, an Assessment of His Contributions" Tata Institute of Social Sciences, 1990). AGF regarding the nomination; "hijacking" explanation seems plausible. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:45, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
