Lal Babu

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Completely unverifiable. I have looked for info on this person through different angles, but have been unable to confirm that this person really existed or that at least the facts about him are correct. His supposed real name Achyutanand Choudhary gives no Wikipedia-independent Google hits, no Google News hits, ... There are quite a few hits for Lal Babu, but when trying to find any about the subject of the article, I again found no results. Hiw name plus that of his most famous song gives only 2 Google hits, both from Wikipedia. The same for another song or his famous book. The article itself has no links or sources either.

 * Delete. Unfortunately, I can't find anything on Google to even verify that this person existed or exists. I searched with both his nickname "Lal Babu" and real name "Achyutanand Choudhary". For all we can tell, this could even be a hoax.  Given the old-looking photos, I might suspect that someone is trying to create a memorial for a family member. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:29, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

 * There is a huge amount of info on dead people available on the Internet, actually. Normally, a famous person who dies in 2009 gets remarked upon in at least some online available sources. But you are free to give us some info on offline sources (books, newspaper articles, ...) about Lal Babu. Fram (talk) 07:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I had the same lack of luck with internet sources as LinguistAtLarge and Fram. Unless independent, reliable sources show up, notability just isn't there.
 * Delete: no significant coverage, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 07:40, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
