Likely WP:HOAX article, or at least not verifiable. Article states that the subject founded the "Mayfair academy of Dance". This exact term yields a mere three posts on blogs when checked. If this would be the Mayfair academy (which is also an performing art college) the information included is not correct according to the academy website. Searches for the name of the article subject end up finding a 16th century poet. Any searches including additional search terms such as "Dance" come up blank or just discuss the same poet.

 * Comment looks like a real person. Apparently celebrated his 80th birthday a few years ago: . Another brief note here. Neither helps with verifying the content, though. One possibility is that the name has been transliterated wrong – that's quite common with Indian names. – Sadalmelik ☎ 18:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Whether or not a real person, there is no claim to notability whatsoever--no awards, no suggestion that the troupe he formed may be notable, no notable achievements in the schooling cited. An article needs to claim notability to be included. Bongomatic (talk) 05:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - more important than notability, is that we can't verify the information. -- Whpq (talk) 15:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
