Comment: Ok, the issue here isn't that we need more footnotes/sources in general. You have lots of footnotes here (way more than you need!), and they do show evidence for claims like "he wrote for this company in that year". What we're looking for to establish "should this person have a Wikipedia article" is sources about Sid Kohli, that isn't written by Kohli or someone associated with Kohli (eg, a school he went to). A profile in a magazine, news coverage about his work as a presenter, that sort of thing. asilvering (talk) 23:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Please do not cite Crunchbase, it is a deprecated source. And citing LinkedIn is also pretty pointless, as it is user-generated and therefore not considered reliable. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:30, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I will not review this due to the ludicrous levels of WP:REFBOMBING – we really don't need 17 (!!) sources to verify that
"He wrote for Sky Sports"
. Could the author therefore please highlight the three best sources that are secondary, independent, and reliable, and provide significant coverage of Kohli. I will then review those sources to see whether notability exists. (Note that things Kohli has written or said do not count, and this includes programme appearances where he has been the host/interviewer/presenter rather than the subject of the programme or publication.)
