Strong keep: The second I saw Bahar's name, I knew the article would be a keeper. Her sister Barkha Dutt, of course, is one of India's most famous female journalists, and in the nominator's defense, the original lead was written to make it seem as if her sister's notability was transferable to Bahar. The article was also at stub status. However, Bahar is an award-winning journalist. She has multiple awards in Indian journalism and in environmental journalism. Her biggest achievement has been raising the profile of environmental conservation in India. I've added fresh sources for her bio, journalism and awards. She definitely passes WP:Anybio, and notability standards for journalists, and also WP:Sigcov. However, her article needs to be expanded beyond stub status. Crtew (talk) 06:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: Environmentalist and journalist very well noted for her work through various awards. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 10:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per Crtew and Dharmadhyaksha. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 16:27, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: A notable journalist, I do not see any valid reasons to delete this article. -sarvajna (talk) 02:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
