Nothing to suggest better notability aside from being locally known as an ordinary radio jockey with my best search results here and here (using WP:INDAFD search engine) and I could've PRODded this but I wanted comments. This has stayed with hardly many edits since February 2010 and there's no good move target. SwisterTwister talk 04:34, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She is very popular RJ in Ahmedabad and still enjoys substantial following. Her popularity peaked and later declined when she was dropped by her earlier employer. There was a controversy and legal suits regarding it which was covered by media houses other than her earlier employer. None of these is included in article. I think there is a room for improvement and that is why I suggest to keep it.--Nizil (talk) 18:16, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nizil Shah Maybe she was well known and please free to improve the article as I'm not seeing much to suggest keeping. SwisterTwister talk

Will improve it soon. I am busy for sometime but will do asap. Wait. :) -Nizil (talk) 09:18, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Popularity in a single city does not confer automatic notability on a radio personality, per WP:NMEDIA. If you cannot make a claim of national significance, such as being heard on a nationwide radio network, then you have to add a volume of sourcing sizable enough to get her over WP:GNG.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Radio personality of exclusively local-to-a-single-city notability, with nowhere near enough sourcing or substance to make her more notable under WP:GNG than the thousands upon thousands of other radio personalities of exclusively local notability who exist in the world.
