Adeeb Ahamed is a billionaire business among top 10 richest in India. He is in the mainline news on a consistent basis. He was recently awarded the prestigious gold card award by the government of UAE given only to very few people in the world. He is the managing director of Lulu financial group. He co-owns the largest retail network in India and Middle East. He is a very notable person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.83.44.121 (talk) 18:03, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I am a little confused why a person so famous in middle East and India is still non notable. They own the famous Scotland yard hotel in UK. He is also axgold card holder in UAE Thank you for your time. (Kuruvillac (talk) 08:24, 24 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Respected Admins, i would like to make an observation. I got his spelling wrong which resulted in his mentions in news not showing up in search. I have rectified that. Now news references of him can be seen in search. Sorry cor the inconvenience. (Kuruvillac (talk) 05:03, 27 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

The nominator was blocked as a sockpuppet, however I am leaving the nomination open because it has some merit. MER-C 17:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And just to add on to this, despite the noms block, I still strongly stand by my delete comment. Praxidicae (talk) 17:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as a WP:NBIO and likely WP:GNG failure. While sources do exist that cover the subject, they lack the quality needed to actually establish the encyclopedic notability of the subject; too many are WP:PRIMARY (articles merely quoting the subject are too common), lack depth, or primarily concern other topics (a WP:NOTINHERITED issue). There is also a seeming lack of sources that put forward a claim to encyclopedic notability for Ahamed or indicate how he is different from his peers - he seems to be a wealthy run-of-the-WP:MILL businessman.

Sir, by considering someone non notable like adeeb ahamed who is daily in the mainline news in middle east and india mostly independent news, are we not setting the bar too high. Kuruvillac (talk) 04:44, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
