Non-notable sports journalist, with no claim to notability at all. Current sources are all interviews by her or with her and I can't find anything that establishes notability per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. The article was previously deleted under Kanthi D. Suresh, Kanthi D Suresh (journalist) and Kanthi Suresh so, delete and salt. GSS ^💬 15:43, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Passes GNG. She founded Power Sportz, which is the ESPN of India. She also serves as the station's editor-in-chief. Sources include:

"Sporting a never-say-die attitude!" from The Hans India
"Kanthi D. Suresh is the first woman in India to head a 24x7 sports channel" from Mint
"City girl extends the frontiers of sports broadcasting" from The Hindu
"Jayalalithaa’s Niece, Kanthi D Suresh’s Foray Into Politics" from Chandigarh Metro (a reliable source that is a weekly in Chandigarh)
"Indian sports media still challenging for women: Kanthi Suresh" from Indo-Asian News Service (not a press release)
"The Mindset of Corporates need to change; Kanthi D Suresh, Editor-in-Chief, Power Sportz" from The Pioneer
"Do women with high level of testosterone have advantage over other female athletes?" from the Deccan Chronicle
"The biggest difference on a digital platform is clock-time viewing, says Kanthi D Suresh, Editor-in-Chief, Power Sportz" from Silicon India (a reliable source magazine)

Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and interviews and are not generally considered useful for notability, as they are not independent of the subject. Pinging @Velella, Dom Kaos, Johnpacklambert, and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: from the previous nomination. GSS ^💬 02:25, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no better evidence of notability since the last time we went through an AfD on this topic. I am unsure why it could not have been speedily deleted as a recreation of an article deleted at AfD. Still not notable and probably paid for editing.

Weak keep She might have become a well known personality in India since becoming the first woman in India to head a 24x7 sports channel. However compared to fellow sports journalist Mayanti Langer she has not received much attention from the media and misses out on WP:GNG. Abishe (talk) 07:20, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nothing here to warrant a standalone article. Cant see any real in-depth coverage. A worrying sign is the repeated recreation of the page, cant help but think that there is a concerted effort to promote the subject of this article. - FitIndia ^{Talk Commons} 08:53, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the refs provided above tend too much towards interviews or passing name checks and do not constitute the indepth coverage we need to actually justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:40, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - too much of the coverage surrounding the subject is based on WP:PRIMARY information (see the Hindu reference, where it looks like over half of the text of the article is quoting Suresh), and that that isn't lacks the depth required to establish the subject as meeting WP:BIO. Couple that with the outcome of the previous AfD, and this is a delete vote from me. SamHolt6 (talk) 15:41, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt: she's no more notable than she was two years ago. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete and salt: Whatever sources I could find are either interviews, or paid/PR stuff trying to publicise the channel and/or subject trying establish her own image. There is no genuine significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. WP:BASIC states: "Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject." Like I said previously, there are lots of interviews, and like SamHolt6 said above - "too much of the coverage surrounding the subject is based on WP:PRIMARY information [...]". In short, the subject fails general notability criteria. Requesting to salt all the titles mentioned in the nomination as well. —usernamekiran (talk) 12:44, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and SALT the titles this article was previously created under. Doesn't pass GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 22:21, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
