Great Minds on India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article talks a big game about its importance (and that of those who have spoken favorably of it) but ultimately its coverage is entirely pulled from what appear to be non-reliable sources. The Shillong Times may potentially be an RS, but its coverage is very minimal. Does not meet WP:GNG. The fact that Penguin Books published its second edition is a positive sign of notability, but ultimately it doesn't satisfy the guideline at WP:NBOOK. signed,Rosguill talk 19:46, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Yeah, this reads very promotional and grandiose, whereas the actual coverage of the book from google turns up scant RSes. -- Shibboleth ink (♔ ♕) 03:22, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per some of the notable sources and also new sources added. Although the article is promotional and needs trimming of the promo materials. - ToT89 (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete and/or redirect to Salil Gewali, fails NBOOK and appears to be a case of undisclosed paid editing. The creator has been blocked for sockpuppetry. GSS (talk |c|em ) 03:27, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
