 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Main claim to fame in lede appears to be winning an Chandigarh Sahitya Akademi, but that's not supported by the refs (one ref just mentions that she was selected to give away the award), and her name is not mentioned anywhere here (in the English or Hindi sections, at least). I don't see WP:SIGCOV and any other reliable sources in the article, just bibiographies and mentions. Was deleted previously by AfD and quickly recreated by the original author soon after.

 * Comment. Can we find published reviews of her novels that aren't tainted by paid placements (WP:NEWSORGINDIA)? If so that could be a clearer path to notability than debating whether the award she won is significant. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

 * It says she is among 46 notable alumni based on google search of her name (in spite of being often mispelt as bhattacharya by searchers.

 * It seems to me that no one noticed the recent book Light Inspired. It is the life-story of a notable person named Deep Narayan Nayak. He has recently won a UNESCO medal for social work/educationist. I was intending to give his reference from youtube when the bot disallowed it. After that I received the nomination for deltion notice. What an irony! Atul Bhattacharyya (talk) 21:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Certainly no pass of WP:Prof. Notability will have to be found under GNG, but I don't see enough strong independent sources yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:50, 13 April 2024 (UTC).

For this, a police verification is conducted for eligibility. It is not a small matter to receive this honour in India. Atul Bhattacharyya (talk) 16:59, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete This looks like a paid Job or an intention to promote subject article on wikipedia. I was just taking a look at the external link section and after clicking the twitter link I found out that the subject has already started promoting her wikipedia page by using the twitter link on her bio.
 * Delete: Not a notable figure, and i also supports the Nominator's views. TheChronikler7 (talk) 06:08, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't appear to be notable and somewhat vanity article. RationalPuff (talk) 22:35, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
