Hillol Ray

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Many "awards", but no evidence of any notability. His works as a poet have not received significant attention as far as I can see, and his work as an engineer not much more. His fellowships are either graduate student benefits, or payed memberships. The only award that is slightly more notable is the "National Award Winner: NFIA (National Federation of Indian Americans) Award in Liberal and Fine Arts, California, USA (2006)"

The only Google news hit for Hillol Ray is an article about a letter he received from Mother Teresa, and he doesn't seem to have received attention in any books (indexed by Google) either. Even in general Google search, he only gets 93 hits. Many of the claims are unverifiable (like the "personal recognition" by Bill Clinton and Al Gore), the remainder seems trivial.

Basically, having received one award of unclear importance, and not having received significant attention in reliable independent sources, means that he fails our WP:BIO guideline. Fram (talk) 09:13, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment for next week's closing administrator: I think this debate may have been incorrectly relisted last time and was never re-added to the AfD log. So you may wish to consider the 7 July relist the first relist. Or not, your call.  A  Train ''talk 17:14, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
