Apparent vanity article (written by an SPA) on insufficiently notable person. The Indira Gandhi Priyadarshini Award does not confer sufficient notability as more than 50 are awarded each year. Softlavender (talk) 10:47, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

- Delete The first AfD was closed on February 8, 2010; with article being deleted. The article was created again on February 9, 2010; ie the next day. Even though there is a marginal coverage of the subject, it fails WP:GNG, and doesnt have significant coverage either. Most of the coverage is due to the award, which in turn does not make the awardee notable. WP:BIO1E maybe evoked as well. —usernamekiran(talk) 19:17, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per my original nomination, the only passing mentions in Hindi newspapers are local event listings and reviews where this person participated, there's no coverage at all as an architect/poet or whatever the SPAs/socks are trying to promote. As for the award itself, the only reason it finds mention in any RS (unrelated to this recipient) is that it is easily confused with Indira Gandhi Prize and lazy journalism takes over from that. Neither the award nor the organization that gives it are notable, it's quite easy to give out 50-60 plaques using some notable person's name and gain some coverage on that basis. If anyone looks at the history of the article they'll know the amount of spamming that's been going on here, uploading images of buildings etc as references to being an architect, membership certificates etc. It should have been deleted as G11 in those early versions, but unfortunately this award seems to preclude it from an A7 deletion now. —SpacemanSpiff 04:04, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Strong Delete and Salt--Wot Spiff sez.I've PRODDED the article about the award too!And, given the interests of a SPA, who has edited nothing but the topic, in around 8 years, whilst displaying bouts of IDHT, I strongly expect recreation.~ Winged BladesGodric 06:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Do not Delete. because the Indira Gandhi Priyadarshini Award confer sufficient notability as nearly 20 people which is less than 50 are awarded each year as per this link. https://www.indiainfoline.com/article/b-school-news/dr-o-p-bhalla-mriu-conferred-the-%E2%80%98indira-gandhi-priyadarshini-award%E2%80%99-113103000030_1.html . All other coverage are very strong in national Hindi newspapers which are widely circulated. Ambarish Srivastava is notable as an architectural Engineer, if he is writing poetry as a Hindi poet then what is the problem?

- Strong Delete, Salt, and Indef Block creator:
- (1) Award is non-notable, only covered in local news (the article about the award was PRODed, see above);
- (1a) The organisation giving the award is also non-notable;
- (2) Only passing mentions in Hindi newspapers (per SpacemanSpiff), fails GNG outright, possible BIO1E;
- (3) Recreation is strongly expected (per Winged Blades of Godric), so the article needs to be salted;
- (3a) The article was deleted because of the previous AfD, and again per CSD G4;
- (4) The creator, being a SPA for 9 years, needs to be indefinitely blocked;
- (4a) The creator seems to be a promotion-only account. Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 14:31, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opang Jamir for a similar AfD (Indian BLP, created by a SPA with COI, sourced to local newspapers and to self-published sources, winner of non-notable competition), whose result was delete. Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 12:39, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
- (1) Award is non-notable, only covered in local news (the article about the award was PRODed, see above);

I was absent from Wikipedia due to SpacemanSpiff because he was going to erase my article slowly and nobody was listening to me, so I decided to stop editing here. I thought that the article created by me might have survived by this move, but unfortunately starting of in this month when I found that he had almost wiped it out and put the tag of the dollar on it, then I came back for which you can block me forever but I am asking him that if there was notability problem in this article and if this person is not notable then why this article was allotted to main space? Why Mr. Spiff had taken 8 years to delete it’s material. He was also present in that discussion and why did he not deleted it immediately? Still I am providing some proof of his notability as under:

- My comment still stands, the above is nothing but a local interest puff piece -- "who is the resident of civil lines and an engineer by profession", as was the case last time around, all these city supplement event listings and reviews are being passed of as quality sources to promote the article. Nothing has changed since then, and the numerous sock/SPAs clearly show that there's some weird sort of COI promotion going on here. —SpacemanSpiff 05:47, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
- Above all Hindi newspapers are 'National Newspapers' which are widely circulated in whole Uttar Pradesh. I strictly resist here the blame of COI promotion upon me which appears a case of defamation under section 499 of IPC.Spjayswal67 (talk) 08:41, 30 March 2018 (UTC) — Spjayswal67 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
