Fails WP:GNG. All sources are primary and includes just columns he wrote for different websites. No independent, third party source has written significant about him. Hence, this discussion.  Harshil want to talk? 03:20, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment It looks fairly credible that he might meet WP:NAUTHOR.  The Breaking India book looks like it's been reviewed, at the very least. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:42, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

 *  Keep  because of Breaking India: Western Interventions in Dravidian and Dalit Faultlines, which has drawn significant attention, even though the attention in reliable sources comes primarily to bury Neelakandan, not to praise him.NotButtigieg (talk) 10:58, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , He has co-authored a book. He is standalone is not notable, his book is. This should be redirected therefore.-- <i style="color:orange; font-family:Brush Script MT">Harshil </i>want to talk? 12:20, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, good point.  Merge to Breaking India: Western Interventions in Dravidian and Dalit Faultlines. —unsigned reply of NotButtigieg
 * He does have several other books. It looks like they're all in Tamil, which makes hunting for reviews hard.  If any are reviewed, then that's starting to look (w Breaking India) like a WP:NAUTHOR case. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:23, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , his reviews are not online at this moment, If some can dig them up then it will be better way. Most of his works are fringe Hindu Nationalist.-- <i style="color:orange; font-family:Brush Script MT">Harshil </i>want to talk? 02:17, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
