 *  Speedy Keep  These are the books and these are the news in which he is mentioned as Gandhian scholar.He was even jailed in 1960s after Indo China war for bringing impeachment against inaffective Nehru government and came out with help of Shastri and JP. Passes WP:GNG. Requires cleanup but that’s not for what AfD is. — Harshil want to talk? 15:15, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Please link to specific books (not those which are authored by him but those which significantly covers him) and specific news-pieces. Neither does a trip to jail confer notability nor does being covered in footnotes. &#x222F; WBG converse 15:27, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * FWIW, this is an Op-ed and does not contribute to notability and this is a travesty of a review. &#x222F; WBG</b> converse 15:31, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Here’s mention of research done by him in book ‘Hinduism, a Gandhian perspective’. He’s mentioned in the book written by Guha too. In Guha’s work Gandhi Before India, he’s mentioned. Same in Gandhi marg.— <i style="color:orange; font-family:Brush Script MT">Harshil </i>want to talk? 06:25, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The first link is to a book by a non-reputed publisher but by a qualified/acclaimed author; so reliable. But, that's a textbook-trivial mention and do not count towards notability.
 * Lack of WP:SIGCOV over R. Guha's acclaimed work.
 * Mention of one of the subject's volumes over an extended bibliography is again textbook-trivial.
 * Same for mention over back-cover, over a book, whose reliability, I can't ascertain at any case.
 * Please provide multiple instances of significant coverage of Dharampal or his works, as necessitated by GNG.
 * P.S:- To be fair, I thought that retrieving coverage about this subject will be fairly easy (per my knowledge of him and his works) but that does not seem to be the case. &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 07:52, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep There is this source. His works are quoted and significantly analysed (4+ pages) in this book. And there is this piece written by James Tooley that significantlly follows his work.  I think there is enough to meet GNG. SD0001 (talk) 08:19, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
