Roman Saini

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails general notability. Individual appears to be a student with a YouTube account and good grades. Words like "pioneer" and "inspiration" are unsourced, from blogs or from foreign language sources; this article is likely autobiographical. Previously speedy deleted twice, including Dr Roman Saini.

KEEP He is an IAS officer and inspiration to thousands of students like me. He has done lots of selfless service for upliftment of downtrodden. Do not delete this page as it will be a loss for poor aspirants of India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ram Kumar Patidar (talk • contribs) 02:35, 18 September 2014 (UTC) — Ram Kumar Patidar (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

KEEP It is not an autobiographical article. IAS is the highest permanent job under Government of India, so please give him due respect and refrain from calling him 'a student with a YouTube account and good grades. I have created this article going through all the weblinks, his facebook page and he has no role in writing of this article. I have tried to remove all ambiguous content and strictly adhere to Wikipedia's neutrality policy. So, no need to delete this page now.

Note: this comment was written by account 'Avnish.vikas' but signed as account 'Ram Kumar Patidar', suggesting sockpuppetry. This user's own deleted contributions states that he is actually the subject of this article and pretending to be otherwise, which contradicts the claims above that this is 'not an autobiographical article' and has had 'no role in writing this article', because Avnish.vikas has many contributions to it.

DELETE Fails general notability. He's just a low level/entry level apparatchik who seeks to self promote himself by the means of his internet. The article is highly autobiographical in nature and only seeks to promote himself and not give neutral information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uncletomwood (talk • contribs)

Delete. Obviously. Far, far too junior to be notable. Maybe in 20-30 years time! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:59, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP Page will be updated soon with all details. Far too junior, are you serious that 'age' is the criterion now. Page is complying to all rules and regualtions of Wikipedia Kottee (talk) 02:56, 19 September 2014 (UTC) — Kottee (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Confirmed Sock.

No, age isn't the criterion. Notability is. He's a junior officer who has achieved nothing significant and held no significant post. We don't have articles on people just because they're IAS officers. Or officers of any other service anywhere in the world. We have articles on people who have been recognised for achieving something notable or who are at the top of their profession. He meets neither of those criteria. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:22, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
IAS officer is not a prestigious position sir..!? This article helped me to get guidance regarding Civil Service Examination for my Friend.

Comment. It probably doesn't need to be said, but all three keep voters above are single-purpose accounts which have only edited the article on Dr Saini or articles associated with him. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I dont think so the users count but the Reason, he is having many followers in social medias but we got to read more about him here. Thank You! á$thi 15:09, 20 September 2014 (UTC) — Asthishi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Confirmed Sock.
Delete as per nomination as well as ignore shock puppets. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 18:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Brother how you are saying an IAS officer as Puppet?? You do know how tough an Civil Service Examination? CSE is not based on book or Mug up. But it need knowledge that one have to seek and understand it. á$thi 15:09, 20 September 2014 (UTC) — Asthishi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Confirmed Sock.

Sorry Sir i dint notice Shock Puppet. What is their to nominate sir? It is just a page on autobiography. It is written based on the article mentioned in the reference. If you feel any sentence as such, you can edit it to standard sentence. á$thi 15:51, 20 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asthishi (talk • contribs) — Asthishi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete, regretfully, since he is clearly an inspirational person. Just not notable. I have gone through all the references in the article, which made it very clear to my mind that this is a case of somebody who is up and coming - so there cannot be an article about him yet. The article is also very promotional in tone, but that can be fixed with some rewriting. The lack of notability can't be fixed by editing the article. --bonadea contributions talk 12:21, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, generally I agree with bonadea, Saini seems to be up-and-coming and has been noticed by a small number of blogs/entrepreneur websites (which do not seem to be journalistic news sources). Success and talent aren't the same thing as 'notability'. Sources from his employer, IAS, or quotes from him count very little towards proving any importance. Sionk (talk) 13:38, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In agreement with bonadea, the page definitely needs to be revamped to remove all the promotional content but the references mentioned, specially the Hindi citations are from reliable news publishers with him as the sole subject of those references, so according to me clearly not the case of notability. However content seems promotional and self-advertising which needs to be removed. Cheers Mr RD 20:30, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
