Guptara

No grounds asserted for notability meeting WP:BIO. The page Guptara was created as a family history for Prabhu Guptara's family; I have nominated his biography separately (Articles for deletion/Prabhu Guptara). The main editors of the article are the WP:SPAs and, so it appears autobiographical. In 2007 Utcursch reduced it to a dab page linking the three family members who have articles.

I am also nominating the following related pages created by the same editors, as non-notable twin teenage authors and their books:

Also this page created by a fan which is now a redirect:

 * Keep As it stands, this is a surname page as useful as most other surname pages, wrongly categorised as a dab. If the linked articles are deleted, then this would be empty and could be speedied. I'm not convinced these should be bundled. Boleyn (talk) 08:19, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * this is all one family, as I have now made clear on the page Guptara, whose name was invented by their grandfather; see previous version https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guptara&oldid=130854142. There will be nothing left to disambiguate if the articles on the twins are deleted. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:03, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree that there's no need for a surname page if these articles are deleted, but htat any decision on the dab should be made only if they are deleted. Boleyn (talk) 08:11, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Unable to find any evidence of notability. Ignorning Wikipedia mirrors, there are no non-trivial mentions in reliable, independent sources.
 * Conspiracy of Calaspia and Insanity Saga: Fail WP:NBOOK
 * Jyoti Guptara and Suresh Guptara: Fail WP:NAUTHOR
 * Guptara Twins and Guptara: Redirects / disambig page -- useless after the above 4 articles are deleted. I reduced Guptara to a disambig page in 2007, because the content was unsourced and/or promotional. utcursch &#124; talk 16:52, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete all of this tedious puffery. Notability not found. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:48, 21 May 2016 (UTC).
 * Delete - I've yet to see reliable sources commenting on them, complete PR. Vinay089 (talk) 04:18, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all: though it would have been procedurally tidier to delete the person and book pages first and then CSD the dab page as having nothing to disambiguate. Pam  D  07:50, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all as there's no particular need for this as it's not actually an expected disambiguation we're aware of (only lists him and his sons), no independence at all. SwisterTwister   talk  20:14, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
