:{{la|Gotham Chopra}} ([{{fullurl:Gotham Chopra|wpReason={{urlencode: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotham Chopra (2nd nomination)}}&action=delete}} delete]) – (View AfD)(View log)

This article is about a living person with no extraordinary accomplishments. The article seems to be self-promotional in nature. For example, it is claimed that Gotham Chopra has written two books. One of the books listed is an animation film and the second has no reference. The credibility of these claims cannot be verified.

  • Keep, he was the leading force behind Virgin Comics and created a number of the titles, wrote one (The Sadhu) and edited most of them. If the Newsweek quote can be sourced I think that is enough to be going on with. A better approach might have been that before AfDing this article flag your concerns by adding tags to it as he is an important figure, it is just that this article needs improving and rewriting.

  • Keep Emperor makes a good point. Chopra was one of the founders of a notable comic book company. This alone would give the guy a good chance at notability. Furthermore, a quick check of recent Google News articles [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Gotham%20Chopra%22&sa=N&tab=wn&um=1 proves] Chopra has sufficient notability for his own article.

  • Strong Keep Gotham is certainly notable in his own right, being the cofounder of a noted comic book company. His notability increased greatly after the death of Michael Jackson. Michaelh2001 (talk) 22:14, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
