Anil Acharya

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The person does not seem notable enough. The present references probably isn't good enough. Anil Acharya seems to return a number of Google News results, but none of these are referring to Anil Acharya, the essayist. Dixiku (talk) 19:29, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: Nom is correct. Searched on google and nothing showed up. This must be deleted unless someone comes up with any useful sources. Sources might be availabe in local language. Kichu🐘 Need any help? 13:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:19, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep per WP:NPROF, the Tagore National Scholar award appears to satisfy criteria 2, "a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national [...] level," because it is from the Ministry of Culture in India. Also, per criteria 8, he appears to have been the editor of a peer-reviewed journal. My !vote is weak because verification has been challenging. Beccaynr (talk) 02:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if he qualifies under 8, but not all peer reviewed journal editors-in-chief qualify. There is at least some basic level of notability that is needed for the journal. I think it is higher than our inclusion notability guideline, but just being peer reviewed is not enough>John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:01, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete As per nom, nothing significant notable here. Sanketio31 (talk) 09:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment In reviewing the article history, I noticed that content was removed diff as 'irrelevant' and 'promotional,' but it actually may support notability if rewritten to clarify Acharya's role, and help focus research for additional sources. Beccaynr (talk) 02:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as above, also passes WP:AUTHOR for contributions to Bangla Little Magazine movement. I found mentions in Bangla press with a quick search, including BBC Bangla and coverage of the Kolkata book fair   ... what kind of BEFORE was carried out in Bangla? Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: I don't speak Bangla so I'm happy to defer to others on that but it looks like WP:AUTHOR is just about satisfied. First and final paragraph of the Career section need sourcing and a good prune though.  Done a preliminary prune, I'd be leaning draftify if it wasn't for the article's longevity.  Could the Bangla !voters please provide links to their WP:BEFORE sources?  (cc Goldsztajn)   SITH   (talk)   01:15, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
