Revision 5302907 of "A.J. Joshi" on simplewiki

{{RfD|This page seems to establish that this person exists and that they run their own businesses, however doesn't seem to me to establish notability. One of the subject's supposedly notable creations majorfm.com no longer exists, and the references include blogs that only mention the subject in passing. The subject's own personal website doesn't provide any help in finding reliable sources, and nor does a news search. 

I'm a little rusty at this, but I'd recommend a deletion here.}}
