The majority of the sources are merely passing mentions, quotes from the subject, or PR content. There is no significant coverage from multiple independent sources. The Mangalore Today article, which appears to provide substantial coverage, is a promotional piece focused solely on promoting the subject. No other sources were found that offer significant coverage. This article fails to meet the criteria outlined in WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. GrabUp - Talk 13:51, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

- Comment - Dear Fellow Editors, Pls note under the Advocates Act, 1961, and Rule 36 of the Standards of Professional Conduct and Etiquette set by the Bar Council of India (BCI), Indian lawyers are explicitly prohibited from directly or indirectly advertising themselves. if they do that..... they will face dispensary action because of that. They cannot use bold claims, testimonials, or comparisons to promote their practice. since Sunil is an Indian lawyer i don't agree that that his articles are paid ones since he is not legally allowed to promote himself directly or indirectly. I am sure that this article Mangalore Today was written maybe for recognition and are independent from the subject and are not paid due to the laws set for Indian lawyers by BCI. He does have 2 other significant reliable source coverages as well (Mangalore today is not the only significant coverage) - A news article written in Outlook India and Page 10 of Calameo is also there as well. all the sources were written by the writers of their respective news publication house, there is no mentioning about any disclaimer or PR (which is also illegal for an Indian lawyer to do it according to India's Law). maybe it is just the way how those writers wrote those articles that does not mean that they were paid to do it from sunil other references where there is good amount of coverage include is this - [1] [2] [3]
Other than that, to support other aspect of his notability Sunil has won notable awards as well like the best Indian lawyer award in Dubai by the Vokkaligara Sangha, the golden visa award by UAE government and Inspiring Legal Falcon Award’ at Lex Falcon Global Awards in 2023. so i would suggest to consider that as well.Theon Neth (talk) 17:02, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- There is still no WP:SIGCOV, also the golden visa isn't an award or hard to get, I have it and I don't get a page. jolielover♥talk 13:22, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
