The subject is notable only for a single event. She received media attention for some time due to her abusive comments.Delete as per WP:BIO1E LearnIndology (talk) 04:17, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Obviously keep Passes WP:NAUTHOR (1, 3) as well as WP:NACADEMIC (1, 2). Her work have been reviewed by multiple scholars in quite-exceptional terms, she is well-cited and she had won one of the most prestigious prizes in the domain of South Asian History. These are already mentioned in the article but the nomination chose to ignore them. TrangaBellam (talk) 05:20, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, while passing NAUTHOR or NACADEMIC is far from obvious (scholar profile) she easily passes WP:GNG. This isn't a single event, as she has been covered recently in 2021:, as well as in 2018: , 2017: . Coverage is significant and sustained.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 06:31, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Any social-science scholar having their works reviewed by some 10-15 scholars over multiple journals obviously passes NACADEMIC. This is not hard-sciences, where h-index etc. plays a significant role. 134 citations of a 2016 book is huge.
 * It might be also worthy to mention that IndiaFacts as well as Goa Chronicle are unreliable sources. I do not want people intending to use those as sources. TrangaBellam (talk) 06:51, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I picked those out of a Google news search, I admit to be unfamiliar with Goa Chronicle. However what is evident in a search is that Truschke's views and opinions on those views are extensively covered by the media, including blue chip sources such as The Hindu. Just The Hindu, for instance, covered Truschke and her work not only in 2021, but also in 2015,, 2017, 2018, . It appears other reliable media is similar, which easily demonstrates GNG.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 07:23, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:28, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
