Non-notable person, I could not find third party reliable sources for this. Wackymacs ( talk  ~  edits ) 12:56, 2 August 2008 (UTC) Neutral. Google isn't always that useful to try and establish notability of people that died in 1920, so I won't hold it against the article. It asserts notability, provides references - but since http://www.maharashtra.gov.in is down and http://www.epw.org.in is "for subscribers only", I can't access any of the references, so I won't utter a !vote. -- Amalthea Talk 12:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Not a great article as is, but the references look OK - what's wrong with the official history on the Maharastra state government website? Or have those been added since the AFD? Brianyoumans (talk) 14:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's one source. I did a google search for this person and got 10 results. What makes him notable? — Wackymacs ( talk  ~  edits ) 15:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Remember that the name can be transliterated in various ways. Brianyoumans (talk) 00:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Did a search for "Keshavraoji", got 18 results. Nobody has proved yet why this man is notable in any way. — Wackymacs ( talk  ~  edits ) 08:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You are right, Google isn't always the best way. I have access to 17 Thomson Gale Infotrac databases, which have over 114,307,900 documents. Of those, I got 0 results for "Keshavraoji" and 0 for "Keshav Rao Koratkar". Does anyone have access to any Indian databases/archives? As it stands, the article does not establish notability. — Wackymacs ( talk  ~  edits ) 12:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
