This article is heavily refbombed (just to make it difficult to judge the notability). On a closer look, I didn't find any in-depth reference. Due to COI concerns, I don't think it is possible to maintain such articles even if he is weak notable. Most of the references are sponsored and not acceptable per WP:RSNOI. Fails WP:GNG.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Comment: I'm not sure I'd call this promotional as the tags on the article warn. In places, it's the opposite:
Batra just wants to be in news by speaking on contentious and critically controversial issues.
I haven't investigated the sources but there are evidently some real BLP concerns here. -- asilvering (talk) 18:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
