 * Speedy Delete. Non-notable person. Seems that page created for send promotion. Do not fill the criteria of notability as per Wikipedia guidelinesJussychoulex (talk) 15:09, 22 February 2013 (UTC).


 * Strong Keep - This subject clearly passes WP:BASIC. Concerns about promotional tone can be addressed by simple copy editing. Source examples that consist of significant coverage from reliable sources include:
 * Painting his love Indian Express
 * Tales of transition DNA
 * Mandal's country canvas in town for art lovers Times of India
 * Mumbai's monsoon made artsy. CNN.
 * — It seems that the delete !voters here may not have searched for available sources to qualify deletion per Wikipedia's WP:BIO gudelines.

 * Keep Although I did nominate this article for the AfD, I think with the references that has been added and as long as neutrality is maintained this article can be kept. The Determinator p  t  c 22:42, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
