Non notable film director, writer or producer. I spent some time on WP:BEFORE and failed. Your mileage may vary. I analysed the references in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Viral_Shah&oldid=971173599 this permalink version]:

• {{u|Timtrent}} just a note that I wouldn't qualify TOI as "well respected" when it comes to areas that might possibly involve self promotion, as is the case here. The fact that they list no author is also very telling. See also multiple discussions at WP:RSN. Praxidicae (talk) 18:20, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
• :{{u|Praxidicae}}, I bow to your better knowledge. How would you prefer I described them either now or in the future Ah. RSN entry form March 2020. Thank you for correcting me. Once learned never forgotten Fiddle Faddle 19:21, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete Agree with the source analysis, except I'd consider Outlook india, a reliable source for domestic issues of factual and political reporting. - hako9 (talk) 01:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• :{{u|Hako9}}, "This story has not been edited by Outlook staff and is auto-generated from news agency feeds. Source: IANS" So much for Outlook. Vexations (talk) 11:39, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

::{{yo|Vexations}} My gripe was the {{tq|Not obvious. Benefit of the doubt maybe?}} under Reliable column for Outlook. I was well aware it is published pre-packed from IANS. Indian news sources are riddled with stories published as is from PTI/IANS. The important thing is they are clearly mentioned it as such. And multiple sources with same IANS/PTI story are counted as one. WP:SYNDICATED. The IANS/Outlook story is not independent/sigcov that I agree, that's why I made the del vote in the first place. The subject isn't notable is obvious. - hako9 (talk) 17:14, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• :{{u|Hako9}}, When I ran the analysis I looked at content. Even if we judged the source to be reliable the fact it's an interview knocks it right out of contention Fiddle Faddle 14:38, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

:::{{yo|Timtrent}} Ofcourse. That's why I voted delete. - hako9 (talk) 17:14, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
