Dhar Mann's page has been salted for now; however, it seems like with the recent write up in the NYT Style Section and another article about him in the NYT that might meet the
WP:BIO standards for notability. Here are the articles:
Hi
snood1205, the article at the time of your writing had very poor sourcing, definitely not suitable for main space in that shape. I'm in the process of rewriting it if you are interested in helping out.

@
Aranya:, I definitely agree with you that the article in its current form is not eligible to be moved to main space. I can take a bit of time to work on it over the week to make it more acceptable for article space. snood1205(

Sources
I noticed some of these sources may not fit policy or reliability as they come straight from the subjects Twitter and Youtube. Better sources need to be found or the information should be removed. — Preceding

@
Gandalf the Groovy: so the YouTube reference is automatically created by {{Infobox YouTube channel}} to source the subscribers and total views. The tweet is only used to source his date of birth in accordance with
WP:DOB (part of
WP:BLP). He announced his birthday on one of his very public, personal accounts, so it's definitely allowed according to policy.

Dhar Mann's name?
In the introduction his name is introduced as being "Dhar mann", yet in his infobox and early life, his given name is Dharminder Mann. Did he ever change his name?

@
Howardcorn33: I think some of the cited news articles use the longer first name, while most others use the short name. The shorter one is the most common name at the moment and the one he uses, so this article mainly uses that. If you can find a reliable source that discusses a name change he might have had, we can then include that info.

weGrow and past legal issues
@
Tysska: you
removed information about weGrow and his past legal issues in the lead, saying it "violates
WP:NPOV" and "should not be duplicated" since its coverage in the article body is sufficient. Could you explain to me what part of the text you removed violates that policy? Not only is there any extensive amount of coverage of these events that is focused on Mann
[1][2][3], but recent articles, notably the
2021 New York Times feature on him, also discuss these events.
Bridget(talk)16:18, 14 September 2022 (UTC)reply
Hey @
Bridget:, I referred to the fact that the information is duplicated and for a simple reader it would create some discomfort when reading the article, so they were not even referenced. If I made a mistake somewhere, I am open for constructive discussions.--

According to
MOS:LEAD, "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies." For reasons I mentioned above, his past activities are significant enough to be briefly mentioned in the lead.
I focused on a series of articles (
some of which are exemplified in the description) where information about the YouTube channel is included at the beginning of the article. But as I do not have an interest and do not want to arouse a conflict of interests, I transferred the information to the subsection Dhar Mann Studios.

I'm not sure we can point to other articles to justify the information's inclusion. For Mann, the status for his YouTube channel that is apparently ranked 113th in subscribers is not pertinent to his biography and would probably be more appropriate for the lead of an article on
Dhar Mann Studios. Would you be opposed to restoring his past activities to the lead and moving the statistics to the section on his channel?

This article implies that Dhar's parents own a small taxi company and do some real estate on the side, when the reality is they are prominent Oakland area landlords with 130+ properties[1].

change the section "Dhar Mann Studios: Behind the Scenes" in the filmography table to "Dhar Mann Bonus" as that is the new name of the channel

The section "Other Activities" writes that Dhar Mann published a book called "Think Like A Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Everyday" and is about to publish another book called "8 Rules of Love." These books are actually by Jay Shetty. The article that was cited discusses both Jay Shetty and Dhar Mann, which is likely the source of the confusion.
