No working references Rathfelder (talk) 14:40, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Hi Rathfelder. Hope you're doing well. I could find a few good sources, like in The Hindu, Exchange4Media, one more at The Hindu, apart from his profiles at BBC and The Huffington Post. Seems qualified on GNG/BASIC; specially on JOURNALIST (
"The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work..."
; he's been the host of Fast Track). What do you think? Thanks. Lourdes 15:37, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

- I'm not suggesting he isn't notable, but the references which used to be there no longer work. A BLP needs some references. Rathfelder (talk) 15:42, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oh. You could have perhaps templated the article appropriately then. Getting it to Afd might not be appropriate, in the sense that we generally don't prefer deleting notable articles because the references don't work. Would you wish to consider withdrawing this Afd?

- I've now added some of the sources to the article and spruced it up. Tell me what you think. Thanks. Lourdes 02:17, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
