This article had some promotional text and non-notable details like the online classes taught, concepts/idea they shared publicly, and questionable claims about being the first to raise alarm about Coronavirus. I went ahead and removed them to keep focus on the notible controbutions this person had made. Ew3234 ( talk) 04:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello! I'm pretty new to wikipedia. This article seems like it's a puff piece + the subject is not so notable? Was given this by the copy editing suggestions: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Haji_Mohammad_Idris and found this notability page: /info/en/?search=Chief_technology_officer#Notable_CTOs (It looks like there is no established notability criterion for technology as with music: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles but don't think this page's subject really compares to the ones in CTO notability page. I'm going to nominate this for deletion. Quicklibrary ( talk) 20:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

I removed or tagged all the sources that link to Twitter posts, Crunchbase, and text written by Srinivasan or the product or company in question. These don't meet Wiki standards. Ew3234 ( talk) 15:00, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
The article currently says Srinivasan invested in OpenGov. The cited source does not say this explicitly, but mentions that he is a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, a firm that did invest. Does this count as Srinivasan acting as an angel investor? Or is the bar for inclusion higher?
I'm inclined to say that this is insufficient, so I'm going ahead and removing OpenGov. Jlevi ( talk) 20:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
