The sources are unreliable and unknown websites. There is only one National geographic reference in internet, which is like a personal account that can opened by any photographer like a Flickr account. National Geographic websites allows photographers to have their personal account to upload their picture. Though i am impressed by his photography skills, it doesn't prove notability.

 * Delete -Indeed, his photography skills are admirable. But I found nothing written about him or his work in reliable secondary sources. ABF99 (talk) 00:42, 4 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment This Flickr type profile in NatGeo mentions he is from Assam and the page creator is also from Assam.--The Amazing Spiderman (talk) 01:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello The Amazing Spiderman. I declined the speedy deletion of Asutosh Kashyap, a page which you tagged for speedy deletion. I agree The sources are unreliable and unknown websites, but his photography skills are impressive, it prove notability because most of his work has been featured on tv shows, magazines, institute etc but not on some websites. He is a well known photographer in our country. Moreover his first book Snakes - The Uncrowned King of the Jungle, wasn't published online but he's one of the youngest to write an encyclopedia at age 15 and was appreciated by many notable person who have published significant works, and his second book will be published online. I have been on wikipedia for 1 year, 9 months and 13 days and have been contributing and featuring many articles. This is the first time, I have been facing such issue. I came across some articles that doesn't has a reliable sources but their wiki are still available. A person work must be appreciated rather than downgrade them. Thank you.

 * Comment- Lonjing if you could add some of the links to tv shows, magazines and institutes that you mention to this article it would help other editors decide if this photographer/author meets Wikipedia's notability criteria.  A person might be really talented, have published several books, etc., but unless other people have written or spoken about them extensively in "reliable sources" the person does not qualify for a Wiki article. Take a look at notability guidelines here and especially WP:Creative. ABF99 (talk) 05:30, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello ABF99. By using wikipedia, I agree to the Terms of Use and Policy. He was also facilitate by london herpetalogists for his book. It seems you enjoy discovering and researching about notable and not-so-notable people and organizations, Great. I believe the person does qualify for a Wiki article. I don't have enough links to produce, but in addition to that I can post the images. Having said that, I already proved my point that most of his works were showcase on shows and magazines rather than on websites for references, reliable sources not available online. It's upto Wikipedia community to decide whether the article tend to be kept or deleted. Hoping for a positive outcome. Lonjing (talk) Lonjing (talk) 06:25, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now until better sourcing is available but feel free to draft and userfy for now. SwisterTwister   talk  04:08, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as undersourced. (His skill, in your eyes or mine, is irrelevant to his Wikipedia-article-worthiness; but because this non-issue has already been brought up above, I'll chime in too: IMHO, the saturated color palette is lurid and repellent.) -- Hoary (talk) 12:39, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete due to issues of notability. His color palette is a result of over processing with HDR software. More notable recognition and critical references should be cited. N0TABENE (talk) 03:47, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
