I'm completing the nomination for IP user 117.227.149.50, who says that this article looks like an advertisement. I have no personal opinion on this article at this point in time, this is a procedural completion of the nom. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:24, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep meets and passes WP:GNG and WP:BLP. --Nlfestival (talk) 19:15, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment BLP is irrelevant, and you haven't shown anything that suggests it meets GNG, let alone passes it. And 'strong' is inappropriate here. Dougweller (talk) 07:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing found on web sources. I should be delighted to be proved wrong. Maybe something in paper literature. The article is written in Babu English but that is no reason to delete. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:23, 27 October 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete as failing WP:PROF, WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG. The article has been bombarded with citations, but in going through them systematically all links are either dead, or lead to the subject's website, or blog (with some of the latter being mislabeled as belonging to "Times of India"). The subject has authored two books but apart from the listing on the publisher's website/booksellers I found no information on them and no library seems to carry either according to worldcat; one is listed on the Gyan Publishers (notorious on WP:RS/N for plagiarizing content from wikipedia) website which may indicate that it is essentially self-published.

 * Strong Keep meets and passes WP:GNG and WP:BLP. Both the books ware found in OCLC WorldCat, Amazon.com. links areNomenclature of the Vedas Rsikas of the Rgveda.--Aniha990 (talk) 03:44, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * He published two books but nobody has noted them. Can you supply library holdings? Xxanthippe (talk) 04:14, 28 October 2013 (UTC).


 * Delete Aniha990 has convinced me that this author doesn't pass our guidelines for notability. You need more than having your books published in a catalog, and Gyan is also a warning light. Search doesn't show anything up that meets our criteria and neither of the !keep voters, both saying the same thing, have found anything or seem to understand our guidelines here. Not surprising as they are either new or have only a handful of edits (Aniha990 having created Ärsha Vidya Sannyasi Disciples which seems to be a BLP list.)
