Dhirendra Verma

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unable to find reliable, secondary sources which evidence the notability of the 1936-born poet who taught at Allahabad from the apparently more famous literary figure who was a student at Allahabad who wrote a famous work in 1917-1922. (http://books.google.com/books?id=zB4n3MVozbUC&pg=PA1474&dq=%22Dhirendra+Verma%22&hl=en&ei=LPNSTp3LGurTiALuit3RDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=%22Dhirendra%20Verma%22&f=false) Searches specifically for poets come up with little or nothing, but there's a clear confusion-of-names issue here that needs to be resolved. Additional sources welcomed, as always. joe deckertalk to me 00:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)  Withdrawn given retargeting as discussed below.

 * CommentThere is one more famous and respected writer of Hindi also named Dhirendra Varma, who was born in 1897 and died in 1972. He has written many book on Hindi, dictionary, Brij bhasha, and the written by him are considered a milestone in Hindi language. However, this article seems about another Dhirendra Varma. He also seems notable enough considering the fact if he was editor of Dhramayug and Chancellor of Sagar University. But creator of page should give further citations and on line sources to back these facts.Jethwarp (talk) 07:43, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have done major edits and re write of page. The article is on famous Hindi writer and poet Dr. Dhirendra Verma. I verified with the names mentioned in original write up. The whole confusion was because the date of birth was mentioned year 1936. Please re look at article and I think it no longer falls under deletion policy. Jethwarp (talk) 08:57, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, as modified by Jethwarp, as nom, if there really is only one figure with this name, which now appears to be the case, there was when I'd looked clearly enough evidence to establish notability.  --joe deckertalk to me 16:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Recent edits by Jethwarp establish clear notability. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 11:15, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
