Fails WP:GNG; WP:NATH the main event proposed for notability here is not a recognised event as per guidelines. Mail and Guardian coverage are incidental mentions as the journalists' tour guide. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete, although regrettably so. Interesting character, but does not meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 03:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, some major issues have been fixed and some strong evidences have been added. Jagan is a very prominent character among Nepalese trail runners, mountaineers and outdoor instructors, and I sincerely hope his account gets approved. Sajankc (talk) 14:49, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

KeepAlthough relisted twice, I see no reason why the character wouldn't pass WP:GNG. I mean, he has quite a good notability and is featured in major news sources in Nepal. The Kathmandu Post and The Himalayan Times are alone enough as they're two of the largest newspapers in Nepal. Also, his mention in The Guardian is way more than just a mention. I hope someone who really understands WP:GNG goes through the article and references again and takes a final decision. Sajankc (talk) 14:01, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Struck duplicate 'keep' !vote. Daniel (talk) 03:42, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. The subject doesn't pass WP:GNG. The feature length texts are interviews or repackaged interviews and don't feel sufficiently independent from the subject. They are in between a human-interest narrative and a promotional success story, that seem to appear at the time of the subject's increased involvement with various projects. The Guardian article presents the subject as part of a tapestry of local people, all effectively serving as a backdrop to the main theme of "authentic trekking". Only very small portions from this coverage could be used in an article, which is already reflected in the article's current form which doesn't look very legitimate, and I don't know how one would even go about improving it. — Alalch Emis (talk) 11:40, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- I beg to differ. 1. Interview type articles aren't really forbidden by Wikipedia. 2. If you read properly those articles aren't totally primary sources. Sources are reliable and nationally revered, independently written. 3. There are enough other references to prove the subject is a notable trail runner, mountaineer and outdoor instructor. 4. A quick Google search is also going to give anyone enough idea about the notability of the subject. Sajankc (talk) 13:33, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment "All biographies of living people (BLP) must have at least one source that supports a statement about the subject, or else it can be proposed for deletion." -Wikipedia on Proposed deletion of biographies of living people. At least one, there are at least four fully secondary and reliable.

- Has significant indepth coverage. Keep ~ Yeti Dai (talk) 15:18, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. It is funny that how WP:GNG is quoted by both keeper and delete voters. Anyway, according to the references, he won some major athletic competition which is covered in english, french and nepali newspapers, so there is a WP:SIGCOV. Though there is no single "wholesome" article about him, but the cumulative mentions in various articles points to his contribution and general notability. nirmal (talk) 05:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- I feel what you're saying, but arriving to in-depth coverage in a "cumulative" manner means that we would be originally synthesizing notability, which is why your idea is not compatible with the general conception of notability. — Alalch Emis (talk) 18:39, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
