- Comment: An article on this subject was deleted about three weeks ago. I've seen no new articles or news coverage of Dave Nayak since then, so I'm declining this submission. Feel free to review WP:SIGCOV (a guideline to Wikipedia notability) and WP:RSP (acceptable sources). I'm sorry that this isn't the outcome you wanted and I hope you feel welcome to ask questions.
