Two or three short remarks:

Hi, I have removed the proposed-for-deletion tag -- I guess it is a borderline case
Borderline? Hm... It's WP:COI, the only published "sources" are not only self generated (WP:SPS), they're also blogs loaded with viagra SPAM and forum sites... this is the very reason *why* we have so many guidelines on en, lest folks think that they can just throw up some content and therefore deserve their own wikipedia entry. AfD'ing this and any siblings.
About "throwing up content" -- I guess this overestimates Wikipedias notability: most often there is some content, and the Wikipedia entry follows later. That people do it the other way round (or produce content only to get an Wikipedia entry) is highly improbable and definitly not the case with FN.
(As one editor once told me, good naturedly, "If I want to give you a reason to block your article, I could give you any one of 31 good reasons for it." Yeah, reasons are easy to come by, once someone's mind is made up.)
Experienced editors may already be quite familiar with the criteria. So far, I've counted: VAIN/COI, CORP/ORG, SPS, V. It might or might not be SNOW, I'll leave that to others to decide. :)
Argh. "Real life" got me a year ago or so, which lead to a drastical lowering of my Wikipedia-activity. In that short time, somehow lots of acronyms creep out somewhere -- most of them I don't recognize.
- There should be good reason for deletion of any page (this should
not be taken to mean that I'm making even an indirect case for my page.
AfD requires reasons, and consensus.
That's the reason why I deleted the notice (and thus enabled that someone -- you -- brings it to AfD). I don't think the AfD-process works well in all cases, but we will see. And at least I don't think I can judge if an Indian FOSS journalist is notable or not -- my intuition is a sort of notability (not because FN is active here, but I think the structual bias he describes is there).
