John Banerjee

This is an interesting one - I don't know if the subject is notable given that he was an assistant bishop, but I suspect that's not enough. I can't find much else about him other than he existed. The National Portrait Gallery in London has an image of him 1, I don't know if that is enough, but I suspect it isn't. They also have some bio information that I can't find anywhere else, so I'm not sure if they should be used as a RS. There are few tiny mentions that I can see that are not on the page. I would be interested to see what others can find and think about whether there is enough to meet the GNG. JMWt (talk) 07:49, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete: The NPG source does count as one source towards GNG. The cited newspaper article is a primary source that just backs up some details from the NPG. The OUP directory is not anything but a list. WP:NBISHOP doesn't apply to the assistant bishop of a non-critical jurisdiction. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:32, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: the NPG source is already very interesting. I have added some information about his trip to Australia in 1936 where he gave a series of influential speeches and was received as Metropolitan of India. Problem was that for some strange reason the name of Bishop Banerjee on this Wikipedia page was mutilated in the course of the edits. To search for him, try J.S.C. Banerjee or Bishop Banerjee, not John Banerjee. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 02:22, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep second native Indian bishop of the Anglican communion is significant and, as for any Anglican communion bishop, there appear to be sources available. Jahaza (talk) 02:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. Plenty of sources, enough to demonstrate notability in my view: e.g. 1, 2. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 07:52, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep as has reliable sources coverage that indicates he was a Bishop in a major denomination Atlantic306 (talk) 20:08, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
