The article fails to address WP:BIO. The four citations in the article at the time of this nomination appear to be mirrors (or at least re-cycled versions of a promotional article) using close paraphrasing of each other, a particular give away is http://shrutijain.co.in/category/the-taj-mahal-palacemumbai which includes "citation needed" in the text. There seems little prospect of finding sufficient impact on the historic record in the near future using reliable sources that are not limited to tangential mentions in what amount to tourist commercials for the hotels.

 * The article is true. There are references on wikipedia which is fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IHCLFAN (talk • contribs) 10:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)  — IHCLFAN (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete unless much better sources can be provided which attest to notability and impact. At the moment it does not pass WP:BIO. I had originally used a Blp prod on this article as all I could find anywhere were mirrors of Wikipedia. But the IP 27.4.131.198 repeatedly removed it. It also violated Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons as it contains much personal information about the subject and his family with no supporting references at all. I've deleted all unsourced personal information involving third parties, i.e. his relatives. IHCLFAN, please do not restore it without providing reliable published sources for the names of his brothers, wife and children. Voceditenore (talk) 11:50, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, Not notable, no sources... Very poorly written too. "He was the key person to the set up The Taj Bengal Hotel project in Kolkota"... What does that even mean? Themanfromscene24 (talk) 15:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Poor writing isn't a reason to delete an article, just a reason to fix it. But in this case, the lack of significant coverage and indeed anything which verifies the biographical information is a big problem. By the way, Kolkota is the modern name for Calcutta.

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in independent third party sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
