WP:BLP of a publisher, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for publishers. The main claim of notability stated here is that he exists, which isn't "automatically" notable in the absence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him and his work, but two of the four footnotes here are a directory entry and his company's own contact information on its own self-published website, neither of which are support for notability -- and the other two are both dead links whose former content is unverifiable for the purposes of figuring out whether they supported notability or not, and even those were just jengastacked onto a statement of his existence rather than being used to actually expand the article with content.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the article from having to say more than "he exists", or having to cite more and better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. 3 of 4 sources are failed links and one is a source with stock value and this is not enough to pass general notability guidelines. Simple search did show couple of sources but they are about questions on his "two citizenship certificates", a "press statement made in response to the allegations made by Rastriya Swatantra Party President Rabi Lamichhane" and these are local political problems, and these allegations or incidents are not noteworthy. The subject is not well known and materials are not relevant to the person's notability. Fails WP:BIO. RangersRus (talk) 14:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
