Not notable as a journalist or otherwise. This article was created by, who also created a page on notable journalist Sunanda K. Datta-Ray. This page could be a kind of an advertisement by someone related to Sunanda. --GDibyendu (talk) 04:31, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Subject doesn't appear notable. Article lacks context, if it wasn't for the BLP maintenance tags that I added and the living people category you wouldn't even know it was about a person, Datta-Ray sounds like a technical term for something, that's more of an observation than a reason to delete though. -- Patchy1 07:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Datta-Ray is a surname, used among Bengalis.--GDibyendu (talk) 09:19, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I found that out after doing some extra digging, but the article should contain those details so that exra digging isn't required. -- Patchy1 22:52, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete without prejudice. An IP user removed much of the context from this article in February 2012, thus explaining why the article does not even clearly identify the subject as a person. The subject is indeed a person and verifiable as being a journalist, but all I can find are some articles written by him; I don't see anything written about him. The article can be re-created later if the subject attains more prominence and has articles written about him. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:33, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Certainly exists and is a journalist, but I found no coverage of him, and without that we have no basis for an article. --Michig (talk) 08:31, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
