Draft:Aravind Srinivas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: In addition, please do not add sources at seemingly random points in the text. Srinivas' name, for instance, has six sources (at three different places where his name is mentioned) – there is no actual need for verification of his name, and so those sources apparently don't fill any function at all. bonadea contributions talk 17:43, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: I feel a potential article here, but it needs more significant secondary sources. Declining for now. AlphaCore talk 00:31, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Most of the concerns from earlier this year are still relevant, unfortunately. There is little WP:SIGCOV of the subject himself, and the sources given mostly relate to his company. Not saying that someone can't be notable just because the only thing they did was being CEO of a company, but much of the sources I can find are about his company. I haven't done deeper research into this, but there's little reliable sources on himself in particular, based on my search. Z E T AC 00:11, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
