Comment: Looking in #Reception to determine if this is notable, The Times of India doesn't carry any weight (WP:TIMESOFINDIA). We typically like to see three sources demonstrating significant coverage of the subject (PR releases, dates, announcements don't contribute to this, see WP:THREE). At best, we are a third of the way there with one review contributing towards this being accepted. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 15:37, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
