Non notable Quantum Based Transformational Life Coach, Past Life Regression Therapist & Intuitive Reiki healer. Yeesh. Little media coverage. Article is basically promotional. PepperBeast (talk) 17:35, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn: there's nothing here that would pass WP:AUTHOR, WP:NACADEMIC or WP:ANYBIO. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:33, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I first came across this article when it was a draft. It was moved into mainspace, bypassing the AfC process, and I had immediate concerns about notability and promotion, but it took me some time to work through the references, debunk the claims that Babu makes about herself, and tag the issues or edit the content, such as to make it clear that she's been nominated for those awards rather than won them. It became clear that the awards she has been nominated for are the sort that you can nominate yourself for, if you don't mind paying the ticket prices for a table at the award ceremony. The Forbes Council also takes self-nominations and clearly doesn't fact check. Early versions of her standard blurb for example say she had spoken at Harvard, whereas in reality she had spoken at a conference that took place at an event facility on the Harvard campus. The 'PhD' she has comes from a 'university' with no physical campus and where exams in degree courses are multi-choice, computer based, taken at home and with the ability to re-sit the following day if you fail. Her blurb included that she had qualified with the World Health Organisation in COVID response planning, but all it took was three hours of self-paced training and an online test which hundreds of thousands of people had completed. All in all this person has tried hard to market themselves and I am sure this Wikipedia article is part of that effort. You may be wondering why I haven't already nominated the article for deletion. I think it serves readers to read about the reality of Babu's claims, in a case of WP:LUC. Once deleted, it will live on forever in Deletionpedia.

DeleteI'm a the creator of Bindu Babu's article. I wrote her article when I'm not fully well understand with notability, it was when I the draft moved to main space, I realized that most the references are independent secondary reliable source. And by virtue that some editors are accusing me for been paid for the article as I know I have no connection with her.

I'm hundred percent willing for deletion of this page because she is not notable to be in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abbas Kwarbai (talk • contribs) 11:37, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
