Borderline WP:GNG case under WP:BLP. The case for notability seems to be founded on Malhotra's nomination for the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2016. One would think this would be quite a strong indicia that he is notable. However, for whatever reason, the only available sources are mostly primary sources being interviews of ([https://drexel.edu/close/news/announcements/2015/June/Skyless%20Games%20Arad%20Malhotra/][https://www.forbes.com/sites/julesschroeder/2016/03/28/7-reasons-you-should-never-settle-for-less-than-what-you-want/?sh=3e30bdee5de3][https://www.forbes.com/pictures/hdid45gfk/aradhya-malhotra-cofoun/?sh=2c60da8f6748][https://www.desiblitz.com/content/aradhya-malhorta-skyless-games-studios]) or articles written by the subject ([https://technical.ly/civic-news/entrepreneur-video-game-aradhya-malhotra-immigration-deportation/] [https://www.forbes.com/sites/under30network/2016/02/01/12-ways-under-30s-overcome-obstacles/?sh=72e0de4b6e6a]) or about the games and not the subject at all ([https://www.phillyvoice.com/skyless-games-release-city-management-game/]). Some sources have independence and reliability issues: the Forbes sources are naturally fawning, one is an interview for Malhotra's former college, and another is a podcast interview with a "friend". Further, neither his studio, Skyless Game Studios, nor the games made by that studio, have barely any coverage nor seem to attract their own notability. A WP:BEFORE for sources seems to yield articles with the same problems. The article also seems to have been created by Mr. Malhotra. Appreciate your thoughts.
