Does not meet standards of notability per WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Awards won do not rise to the level required, and the one supposedly granted by Barack Obama is not evidenced in the sources. ... discospinster _talk 17:07, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Can't find any coverage in reliable sources. NickCT (talk) 17:43, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The notability here is sketchy. The fact that grainy photographs of the actual award certificates appear in some sources points to the fabrication of sources. I don't think we will lose anything by not having an article on the Guinness World Record holder for the most painted handprints (65 in one minute). --- Possibly ☎

Let's add salt to that. There was a deletion discussion seven years ago for Suvodeep chatterjee (lower case) that is not listed above and claimed to be the second deletion discussion. That means this is potentially the fourth AfD. There are multiple blocked socks associated with these creations. Salting Suvodeep chatterjee, suvodeep chatterjee, Suvodeep chatterjee (artist) and Suvodeep Chatterjee (artist) seems appropriate, although one can imagine that Suvodeep chatterjee (somethign else) will be next. --- Possibly ☎ 19:51, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The hidden AfDs are Suvodeep chatterjee (1st nomination) and Suvodeep chatterjee (2nd_nomination). --- Possibly ☎ 20:01, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete questionable notability, lacks in-depth coverage in RS to satisfy GEN or ANYBIO. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 19:23, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree the previous deletions are authentic that were held in 2013. And its a long time. I am aware of these AFDs already and same are mentioned on article's talk page just before creating the article. Now the subject clearly passes WP:ANYBIO on the ground of many notable awards like Guinness World Records, Limca Book of Records and Kentucky Colonel honors. I would also like to ping Explicit who recently declined a speedy here. Johnson Wagart (talk) 02:05, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The Guinness World Records will authenticate any record that someone pays them to (see Guinness World Records#Change in business model). Likewise with the Limca Book of Records, which is basically a way for them to promote themselves. Being a Kentucky Colonel is not as prestigious as it sounds. ... discospinster _talk 15:43, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly passes WP:THREE. The best resources that are from reliable references and independent of the subject are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. On the basis of WP:THREE it passes WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC. Johnson Wagart (talk) 02:26, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Again, these are not much more than vanity publications. You can do pretty much anything and have yourself declared a record holder. ... discospinster _talk 15:43, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Johnson Wagart is the author of this article, which says (or rather said, as I deleted it) that Barack Obama gave this guy an award. The funny thing is, the source (in Bengali, with lots of original photos of the award) did not say that. There is no record of Obama ever giving this guy an award. The award memntioned is actually the "Presidential Champions Platinum Award", which is an award anyone in the world could get by self-reporting their physical fitness activities to a website. This was all based on the honour system. Since anyone could get it, it's no surprise that Suvodeep Chatterjee got right in there and applied. Regarding the Kentucky award, that is a silly thing that you pay for; they use the funds raised or philanthropy. This Wall Street Journal article says that Governor Beshear gave made 100,000 into Kentucky Colonels while he was in office for eight years. That means they gave out about 250 Kentucky colonel awards a week, or about one every ten minutes, for eight years running. In conclusion, the only thing I get from reading this article is that someone out there has an extremely strong urge to promote this individual. This latest version of the article is part of that promotional campaign. --- Possibly ☎ 08:11, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please Note, as per User:discospinster 1 this is the vanity publication.Johnson Wagart (talk) 02:30, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnson Wagart: for a two-day old account, you are doing really well! You have used Twinkle to launch two other AfDs, citing appropriate reasons, and above you are arguing notability based on WP:THREE! How did you gain so much competence in only 48 hours? --- Possibly ☎ 08:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
