Not notable. He was born, got a degree, won a minor award, that is all. Hyperbolick (talk) 19:27, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. There are multiple hits in a google book search, unfortunately only in snippet view. A general search shows national news coverage and plenty else so he’s really not just like a guy who got a degree. Mccapra (talk) 20:00, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Does "multiple hits in a google book search" make one notable? Seen exactly that view dismissed in recent AfDs. Does not by itself indicate whether those hits were from passing mentions or from more in-depth paragraphs of coverage, no? Or whether those books were perhaps self published, or not independent?

 * Well take a look and see what you think. It’s not possible for me to say if they’re just passing mentions, but there’s quite a few of them. As the subject of the article is an Assamese writer it would be helpful to check for Assamese sources, which unfortunately I’m not able to do. Mccapra (talk) 21:14, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * If all the mentions are about/regarding/because of the award, then BLP1E (one event) applies. — usernamekiran (talk)  02:09, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Usernamekiran and why did he get the award ? It was not given cuz he won lottery or something. It was given for his notable work that made the subject notable.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  07:06, 13 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep passes WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR #4. Unlike what the nominator thinks, Sahitya Akademi Award is a  major award   for excellence in Indian language. Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters, annually confers on writers of the . In the Assamese language category, the subject won the award for his literary works. It is expected that people will be looking for his article. Hence I dont agree that this be deleted. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  07:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * (Article creator !vote) Keep - Sahitya Akademi Award is the highest award in India, for literary excellence, in a particular language. &#x222F; WBG converse 07:23, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, most journals dealing with Assamese literature is offline, courtesy systemic bias and shall not be expected to be easily accesible. &#x222F; WBG converse 07:27, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That most journals in the language may be off-line is not any kind of proof that any of those journals contain anything about this person. Where is the proof? Hyperbolick (talk) 13:34, 13 September 2019 (UTC)


 * keep passes WP:NAUTHOR as awardee of Sahitya Akademi Award; also per rationale provided by DBigXray. — usernamekiran (talk)  08:26, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep:Definitely pass WP:ANYBIO (criteria 1:-The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.), WP:NWRITER since the person achieved a Sahithya Akademy award (one of the prominent award on literature in India.)-- PA TH  SL OP U  08:28, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Rather obvious keep. The award is enough for notability; there are enough sources to cover basic biographical information. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - won one award, but no notable body of work that has made an impact per WP:POET - no reviews or writeups or profiles in major literary magazines - no significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources per WP:BASIC - the evidence of notability is just not there - Epinoia (talk) 04:27, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - winning an award does not automatically confer notability - Notability (people), under which winning an award is a criterion (WP:ANYBIO), says "meeting one or more [of the criteria] does not guarantee that a subject should be included" - Epinoia (talk) 16:55, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
