Page is promotional, subject does not meet WP:GNG. Uses SPS and dubious awards to try and establish notability. D1551D3N7 (talk) 18:52, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:MILL and WP:SIGCOV. A great many people have been given an OBE and/or the Freedom of the City of London. There's absolutely nothing about his business that is notable. The references, to be blunt, stink. LinkedIn?
Local papers from India, where the media has fallen rapidly into deprecation?In 2025, everyone knows that we are not a social media platform, but the creator of this article has created at least a couple of such pages. Bearian (talk) 14:26, 2 March 2025 (UTC)- @Bearian: While I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusion, no local papers from India are being cited. Would you care to strike or replace that part of your argument? --Worldbruce (talk) 06:56, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Done as requested. Still a delete. Bearian (talk) 06:59, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Non-notable businessman. There is a long history in deletion discussions of an OBE not being considered a significant enough honor to meet WP:ANYBIO. Searches in English, Tagalog, and Bengali could not determine what grade of Order of the Knights of Rizal he received, suggesting that it was not a high one (and the order as a whole is seventh in precedence in the Philippines according to [1]). A Sino-Phil Asia International Peace Award is not a notable award.
- Gulfood.com and Dailycountrytodaybd.com are obscure, with no reputation for accuracy or fact checking. The articles on the two TV channel websites are suspiciously similar, suggesting they are both based on a common press release. The Dhaka Tribune is generally reliable, and perhaps Macau Business is too (I'm unfamiliar with that market), but their promotional stories smack of being based on unidentified news wires / social media. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:45, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
