Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Sivakumar's research is somewhat notable and well-known. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:243:201:A31E:6D1C:1326:D853:4A6F (talk) 22:08, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest - article writers have a close connection to the subject

It appears that multiple authors of this article have a close connection to its subject. First, the article was created by Pranav himself. Indeed in 2016, Arcturus27 wished for the article to be deleted, just as WP:Yourself warns regarding autobiographical articles. Second, the article is quite regularly edited by individuals familiar with Pranav's life, e.g.:

A unsourced claim mentioning that he failed a calculus course
Information about his personal life, with the only citation being a Youtube video
An IP edit by his uncle: "Added in some of his educational highlights, as long with his failure. Tried to teach others how Pranav has overcome some of his greatest weaknesses and still continues to be good nephew."
IP address edits from the approximate location where he lives.

As it stands, this article is not encyclopedic, and has tenuous notability. I do not want to reopen the speedy deletion debate, but I do encourage the issue to be rediscussed as necessary.
