Basant Bhattarai

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article on this person is made due to the 1973 Nepal hijacking which actually does not make this person any notable. There are many other more notable people around the world from many fields who do not have article on wikipedia as they are not considered fully notable. This person is just a simple politician just like thousands more in the world. Also hardly any sources can be found on him. The article 1973 Nepal hijacking is good. But this one is really not needed and is just waste of space. Delete Per WP:Notability KS700 (talk) 13:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per WP:POLITICIAN. Good work on the nomination KS700, I see you are learning your way around.  Lynch 7  15:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Reason Already Mentioned. There were other people also involved in the hijacking and they don't have an article on them, so having this one doesn't make sense and it is better to delete it. KS700 (talk) 03:12, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That is poor logic. Those guys don't have an article, so delete this as well? If the other guys are notable, then create an article on them.  Lynch 7  18:27, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. As i have already said above, none of the people involved in this event were notable including this person too, so this article really needs to be deleted as per WP:NOTABILITY and WP:Notability (people). KS700 (talk) 02:36, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. For the purposes of Internet searching, I'm wondering if this is the same person apparently more often called "Basanta Bhattarai". For example, compare (Google News Search with "Basanta") and  (with "Basant"). The possibility of other variant spellings probably also shouldn't be discounted. (If kept, the article obviously needs a good copyedit.) 81.159.110.18 (talk) 14:58, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looking at the article's history, very few, about only 2-3 editors have added information to this article. Also this article may contain original research. User KS700 is right this article not notable as no sources can be found. This is article is on an ordinary person and is not eligible for wikipedia. 203.196.141.98 (talk) 06:09, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
