delete I agree fails WP:GNG and reads as a vanity/fan page. Not noteworthy enough. Tautomers (talk) 03:58, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep from 2015 to now 2021, Leeza Mangaldas has done a lot of work. She has become sex-positive content creator and anchor also. In 2020, Leeza featured in POPxo Power Women List. She was also in the list of GQ's 25 Most Influential Young Indians 2020-21.Leeza Mangaldas started her career as a model and was Femina Miss India South 2012 finalist.Leeza started her YouTube channel in 2017 to add science to sex. Leeza was also an anchor in Indian Super League. Multiple third-party reliable sources have been added.--Anjliishtwal (talk) 04:01, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of voting to keep, you should probably just give a response if you disagree with an editor. Seems a bit biased when you vote for your own article. Jcmcc (Talk) 07:53, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is incorrect. This is a discussion, not a vote, and article contributors are encouraged to contribute to the discussion like everyone else. pburka (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Soft delete Fails WP:GNG. Fan page at best. The quality secondary sources prove her existence as a human and show shes working towards good things, but don't elaborate on her accomplishments or notability. She may in fact have had notable work, but its not reflected in the article and I couldn't find anything with a cursory search. Soft delete as I am not certain of whether or not beauty pageants count as notability. Jcmcc (Talk) 07:53, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does read like a vanity piece/promo of an individual of little to no actual notability. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:40, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:BASIC, e.g. We pathologise our healthy bodies and desires, says online sex educator Leeza Mangaldas (The Week, 2021) "[...] Mangaldas, 30, who is one of the most popular sex educators on the internet right now. After she switched to making Hindi videos during the pandemic, her followers have grown multifold," Innovators, entertainers, disruptors, game changers: Meet GQ's Most Influential Young Indians (GQ India, 2021), HT Brunch Social Media Star of The Week: Leeza Mangaldas (Hindustan Times, 2021, "For busting myths about first time sex, the hymen and the idea of ‘virginity’ via her Reels video on Instagram"). The article can be revised to better emphasize her notability, based on multiple independent and reliable sources.

I would argue that all of the links you provided in fact fail WP:BASIC. The first few ones that mention her do not provide 'significant coverage' they only mention her on the side while they go into depth on a topic that she happened to be involved in. The links at the end that you provided are all primary sources which 'do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject' according to WP:BASIC. Jcmcc (Talk) 07:04, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BASIC states, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, and the first three sources are not trivial mentions; per WP:BIO, the sources find her "worthy of notice"[1] or "note"[2]—that is, "remarkable"[2] or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". The last two sources also include WP:SECONDARY commentary and context, e.g. ABC.au, in addition to the quote from Mangaldas, "reporter Zoe Daniel meets many of the people who hope it will and who are doing their own bit to elevate the plight of women in India," and e.g. The Indian Express, noting the context of her advocacy in addition to her work as an actress:

In Her Honour, Indian Express, 2014, excerpt
In the course of researching for the film, Chopra and Malik spoke to several rape victims and their families. “It was difficult because these young women somehow felt ashamed of themselves. It’s what made me ask: Why should a woman feel ashamed of something that is not her fault?” says the director. The question was, in fact, also addressed by one of the film’s leading ladies, Mangaldas, in an opinion piece she wrote for a news portal in 2013. “Unfortunately, in India rape is inextricably linked by men— and women — to shame: the ultimate desecration. Many victims are murdered by their rapists or choose to commit suicide. It is also not uncommon for the parents of rape victims to kill themselves. Thus, most victims don’t speak up about what happened to them, lest their families be ostracised, lest they never find a husband or be shunned by their friends,” she wrote in the piece.

And these are only examples of sources that help establish her notability. Beccaynr (talk) 13:24, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
