@42.110.207.131: yes I know that is why I didn't added about 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I saw someone added the info, and DMySon removed the info. By the if you see any wrong info then remove and clean up the subject. Thanks Bapinghosh (talk) 12:32, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

She's mainly noted for winning the World Cadet Wrestling Championship in Hungary in 2021, but that's about it. She competed in other cadet-level (16-17 year olds) events, but none of those other than Khelo India Youth Games have any individual notability. I'm having a hard time finding her actual results at the Youth Games or any of the other gold medals mentioned as the swarm of news articles just want to focus on her 2021 feat. So this is notability for only one event at this time. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:57, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also cleaned out her infobox as it contains a lot of unsourced and somewhat contradictory information. She is not a weightlifter. She is not 21 years old in 2021 otherwise she wouldn't qualify to compete in the Cadet class. It is not clear her coach is the same Anshu Malik as the freestyle wrestler, and the source from a search that mentions the two people together might have copied that info from Wikipedia. A more detailed news article provided could explain this better. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 19:02, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
