Delete. I'm certainly aware of Vish Khanna, because as a Canadian editor who works on musical topics I often cite stuff he wrote for Exclaim! — in fact, I distinctly remember adding a citation to a piece of his writing within the past two days, though damned if I can remember off the top of my head what article I added it to. But the notability test for media personalities isn't the extent to which they've been the creator of coverage about other things, it's the extent to which they've been the subject of coverage created by other people. However, the only references here are to Blogspot blogs, one of which is an interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person and the other is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an interview with somebody else — but that's not the kind of sourcing it takes, and I can't find anything else that would count as GNG-building coverage. Reliable sourcing means real media outlets and books covering his work as news, not Blogspot blogs or staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own current or former employers.
