The subject’s page looks more like a news report highlighting frauds and allegations, and it fails notability as per WP:BLP and WP:NBIO.
There is an entire section ‘weGrow and legal issues’ which is about his company, and not him. If this section is there to prove his notability, I see a WP:INHERIT issue here.
Dhar Mann Studios – again that is the production company and not the subject. Further, the production company makes films only for social media like YouTube. I couldn’t find a single notable film or recognized award to any film produced by them that could make even the production company notable.
Reference 1 is social media link - https://twitter.com/dharmann/status/1398720779538345993 which doesn’t even meet WP:CITE.
I also noticed that the page has been deleted before – Speedy Delete. But, the page was recreated in spite of the deletion without any significant changes. And nominated yet again - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dhar_Mann_(4th_nomination) Similar issues were highlighted in this nomination – “most reliable sources are just about the crime and allegations. I don’t find significant achievements for him to be included in Wikipedia.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dhar_Mann_(3rd_nomination) result was delete Trolli Onida (talk) 01:03, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

- Keep, meets WP:GNG. Among other cited articles, I can point out a 2012 SF Gate article [1], Mother Jones articles from 2010 and 2013, and a 2021 New York Times profile [2] that cover his activities from 2010-2021. Additionally, the tweet is used to source his date of birth in accordance with WP:DOB (part of the WP:BLP). --Bridget (talk) [previously Aranya] 02:05, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Lean Keep: The Mother Jones article absolutely centers him before the the legal issue. Then with the legal problems, it seems there's more than enough coverage by RS. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 03:35, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, Obviously notable per WP:GNG and mentions in Nytimes and others. Maybe more reliable sources can be found to make the article more neutral. Rlink2 (talk) 03:58, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per above comments. I don't see the need for anymore AFDs to proceed after this one. Waddles 🗩 🖉 16:43, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Rlink2 and WaddlesJP13|. This guy is notable, and the article is at worst starter class or POV, I’m no fan of this guy but there is no justification to delete this article. Jasphetamine (talk) 19:49, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep with regards to WP:INHERIT Dhar Mann Studios videos largely/almost entirely involve him, so while notability isn't generally inherited, they're almost the same entity at this point. Dhar Mann Studios itself isn't notable enough for an article but Dhar Mann's involvement with Dhar Mann Studios and weGrow should be enough for notability with all the articles involved as they pass WP:RS and provide non-trivial coverage. snood1205(Say Hi!
