 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to fail [WP:NAUTHOR]] and WP:GNG. The references are currently exclusively Sarangi's own works. The coverage I could find is:
 * The Statesman review of a novel authored by Sarangi
 * Quoted in The Telegraph twice
 * Mentioned in Hindustan Times article  userdude 07:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment The review in the Statesman counts as significant coverage. The second Telegraph piece is more than trivial coverage (and the first provides some evidence towards notability in the area of Dalit literary studies). The Hindustan Times piece is more than trivial coverage and provides further evidence of recognition in Dalit studies. He holds an academic position, JSTOR search shows up some pieces, but he would fail ACADEMIC.  He has produced some poetry which seems to have some evidence of publication. A Bangla search turns up nothing of note, but I would prefer someone with far better skills than mine to comment on this. Am leaning towards delete since not quite reaching the threshold of GNG.  But interested in others' comments.  Thanks for carrying out a proper BEFORE. --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Since the first (2010) deletion discussion, Sarangi has continued to write, and has risen from associate professor to principal of one of the undergraduate colleges affiliated with the University of Calcutta. Citation counts and WorldCat holdings are unremarkable, but searches of EBSCO, Gale, JSTOR, and ProQuest found some reviews to add to the one in The Statesman:
 * It's unfortunate that the second incarnation of the article was written by a student of Indian English Literature who seems to admire him. Such efforts rarely end well. Their version was gradually gutted until only a husk of a stub remains. There is enough source material out there now, however, to satisfy WP:WHYN, if someone is willing to write an article from it. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:38, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
