The page had already been deleted and blocked for recreation! Still the page has been recreated! Looks like a PR tactic or sock puppet — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imsaneikigai (talk • contribs) 11:27, July 24, 2022 (UTC)

Comment Discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now. @Imsaneikigai: For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. As for my own view, I'll note that Ankur Verma was salted after several previous incarnations of the article were speedily deleted, creators of those versions had been blocked for promotion and/or sockpuppetry, and that the creator of this version was blocked for socking subsequent to its creation (so no G5 speedy). Looking at the article at hand, a first pass through the given references seems to show a lot of unreliable sources, passing mentions, and general PR fluff, though I have no way of knowing how it compares to the deleted versions. Draft:Ankur Verma also exists from the same sockfarm. --Finngall ^talk 23:07, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sorry for the late response! I will surely follow all the instructions in future. Since the page in the draft space Draft:Ankur Verma and Ankur Verma (TV Actor) appear to be more or less same, so shall we move the latter to draft space or shall we nominate it for speedy deletion under the section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. -—Imsaneikigai

@Imsaneikigai: No harm in leaving both versions in place for now, and the closing admin can make a recommendation with regard to the draft once the discussion on the mainspace version has concluded. --Finngall ^talk 21:06, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per nomination. Ankur Verma is protected from recreation, So Draft:Ankur Verma and TV actor is created. See the move log seems desperate attempt to make the article live. C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 03:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Ankur Verma is salted, and the article writer has been blocked as a sock. I would consider nominating this for CSD G5, except there are some edits by additional editors. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:55, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Just a comment for this relisting. The sockmaster here was not blocked when this article was created by the sockpuppet so CSD G5 is not possible since there was no ban evasion. Ankur Verma was previously deleted by speedy deletion, not through a previous AFD so please treat this discussion as a valid AFD and list reasons why this article should be deleted that have nothing to do with sockpuppetry. Thanks.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
