I can't find significant coverage for this person. Joe Chill (talk) 02:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. He appears to be a significant figure in the history of the Communist party in India; you may have an easier time locating sources under his name DBM Patnaik.  The entry deserves to be WP:BETTER, not removed, since Wikipedia's coverage of this area has gaps.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 02:39, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article seems to represent significant coverage: Nagbhushan Patnaik and His Political Legacy, by Sumanta Banerjee. Economic and Political Weekly. October 11, 1998. p. 2775. - Eastmain (talk) 03:49, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This appears to be a difficult one, especially given the multiple variations of his name in use. However, this gbooks search shows that many of his court cases are discussed as significant points in the Indian legal system, especially the one on "the right to life and liberty" as applicable to convicts. In addition, the source above from Eastmain marks him as one of the two most important leaders of the naxalite uprising. I think a pretty large article can be written based on the many sources available, but the current version ought to be stubbed first (I'll take a stab at it). - Spaceman  Spiff  05:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. notable leader of the Naxalbari movement.--Sodabottle (talk) 11:06, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
