It's not clear what this person is supposed to be notable for. A world record? Having a forty page book acknowledgement is nothing to be proud of. All or almost all of his books are self-published, as are most of the references in this article. No verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage that I can find. He might be notable someday, but that day has not yet arrived. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 00:22, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Dear User:DoriSmith Ma'am! I am new here. Since I am also a physiotherapist, I would like to inform you that this man is a very well known name in the field of Physiotherapy and I think he deserve to be notable for his 8 books. He is in Google suggestions, which I think because of the number of hits. Now don't you feel that he deserves to be on wiki. --jona 00:41, 15 July 2012 (UTC) — Jonathan8888 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete. No notability apparent as indicated by reliable independent sources. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:04, 15 July 2012 (UTC).
 * Delete. Surely, given all of his incredible achievements, there ought to be dozens of books and articles about this polymath. (But there aren't.) Pburka (talk) 01:27, 15 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. He is of course notable for his 8 books. I have read his book of PNF which is one of the only few available books on this topic. Pointing out only his world record and neglecting the honour he got(It may be because the people above may not be from the field of Physiotherapy), and the achievement of writing 8 books as not good in my view. --AbhinavPTMumbai (talk) 01:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC) — AbhinavPTMumbai (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep. I think his rare multitasking talent and achievements are enough to keep this article. I agree with Pburka's statement that his achievements are of course incredible.--PranjalBoruah123 (talk) 01:55, 15 July 2012 (UTC) — PranjalBoruah123 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Your WP:SOCKPUPPET-foo is weak. You accidentally used the User:PranjalBoruah123 account to edit User:AbhinavPTMumbai's user page. Pburka (talk) 02:04, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * He he. Funny mistake.--DaoMingDragon (talk) 02:20, 15 July 2012 (UTC) — DaoMingDragon (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep . Cant it be kept as per WP:BASIC criteria (multiple publication)? Kindly suggest. --jona 02:45, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * As I said in the nom statement: show the verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage and sure, it could be kept as WP:BASIC. But right now, there aren't any.
 * Sorry, but you only get to !vote once, and User:AbhinavPTMumbai already, above. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 02:50, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Dear Dori. Thanks! The reference जिले के युवक ने बनाया बिश्व रिकार्ड is covered by Dainik Jagran News Paper. It is in hindi and contains the information regarding his achievement. Will it fit to the WP:3PARTY. --jona 02:56, 15 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan8888 (talk • contribs)
 * Here's how Google translates that link: There's several problems here, but the primary one is that there's no mention on that page where/when/by whom the original was published. Another issue is that the primary focus of the paragraph is the lengthy acknowledgement, which is less of a big deal when you realize that "OB Publications" is Sharma himself.

 * What is !vote?
 * See !vote. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 03:38, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A Link of news by The Times of India is found regarding his participation in the international programme of NASA- Face in Space. Is it notable? --jona 03:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, very much no. It is reliably sourced but In order to count towards notability it must also provide nontrivial depth of coverage about the subject, and this one doesn't. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:30, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * All the Times of India link says is: Sorry, but that doesn't count as significant coverage. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 03:40, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Hi Dori and David Eppstein. I found his work in Google Scholar and Google Books. I got three news reports on him (which is made online by the third party)- First Link of news by The Times of India is found regarding his participation in the international programme of NASA- Face in Space. The second Link of news is regarding his world records. The second Link of news is covered by Dainik Jagran News Paper. It is in Hindi and contains the information regarding all his achievements. We can get this news translated in English for wide understanding. A scanned paper cuttings of his articles may be found here in 'The Independent' The Independent (Bangladesh). I think these materials fulfil the WP:BASIC and WP:3PARTY criteria. Isn't It? --jona 03:34, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've covered the Times of India and Dainik Jagran links above. The mlmaajtak.com link just says: Again, records for book acknowledgements in a self-published book don't make you notable.  The article in The Independent appears to be by him rather than about him, so that doesn't help either.  Google Book & Scholar would be helpful if they showed notability (e.g., large numbers of other writers citing his works), but they don't. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 03:55, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete If the nom already wasn't enough, the extensive activity by socks and SPA accounts is a sure sign of lack of notability. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:13, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not a foregone conclusion that so much sock activity means that the subject is non-notable, but when the article is as full of WP:PUFFERY as this one is it becomes difficult to discern any real notability that might exist. In any case there is no evidence of passing WP:GNG or other notability criteria. —David Eppstein (talk) 14:12, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Full of puffery. Since he set up "O.B. Publication" most of his books are self-published. Not notable as an academic. The journal that he founded seems to have published 3 issues so far and can't be considered notable. The online community that he set up is just an online community and not particularly notable. In fact almost all of the references seem to be primary sources. CodeTheorist (talk) 17:35, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

One more citation - Dear Dori, CodeTheorist, David Eppstein, Guillaume2303, I have posted this one also- "He has played lead role in the telefilm Amar Prem ." It's link is here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1leNNanLpCs
 * Somehow I don't think that a short YouTube film is going to satisfy WP:NACTOR. CodeTheorist (talk) 12:40, 16 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete Shame on the page creator for peddling such unmitigated garbage, compromising the objectivity of the encyclopedia, and wasting everyone's time.  Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  15:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

How to delete? I am author of this page and want to delete it. Even I posted  and db-g7, but it is still not deleted. --jona 13:15, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
