a) This article is poorly cited, with many of the citations not working, and the use of very minor media sources in India, and furthermore, very few major media outlets have covered him.

b) It is true that he has a lot of citations. But having a lot of sources with one's name does not necessarily mean that one has received significant coverage. If you read through his citations, most of them are of him giving his opinion on something - his opinion on sleep and sobriety, his opinion on Obamacare, his opinion on not having a Christmas tree. Yes the citations state he is an Indian comedian, and maybe a little blurb on his latest performance, but not much else...this is not notability and not worthy of a Wikipedia article.

Delete for now as this has noticeably had almost all vandalism and such this year with one of the most users removing this being Grayfell, and although my searches found several links at Books, News, browsers and Highbeam, there simply may not be enough for a considerably better article here as some of the coverage mostly included testimonials from celebrities and even a fight he was involved with from September 2013. Delete for now at best until a better article is ever available. SwisterTwister talk 20:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This completely, totally, utterly, redundantly fails WP:ENT. There are a lot of sources, which could theoretically meet WP:BASIC, but most of them are either unusable primary stuff (routine listings for appearances, like the TEDx gigs), or are interviews or articles he wrote about himself. Lots of quirky human interest puff-pieces which demonstrate aggressive self-promotion and the existence of slow news days, but not encyclopedic notability.
