MANJUL

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Looks like a possible fan creation, most edits by single user. Either way, fails WP:BIO, I don't see this person covered in any independent sources. smooth0707 (talk) 13:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Need expert. Seems like we need someone from India to determine if this person is notable. While the first page of Google hits shows Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networks for this person, further pages of the Google results do show some mildly notable links. However, the results are littered with blog pages and such. Get rid of the blogs and the social networks and there are a few legitimate links to newspapers and such where the cartoons have been printed. Does this show notability? I don't know which papers in India are notable; need an expert. &mdash; Timneu22 · talk 14:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of the outlets he has worked for all major newspapers/magazines with circulations in hundreds of thousands. But i can't find any coverage of him personally.--Sodabottle (talk) 16:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly DNA, The Economic Times, India Today and The Financial Express are all notable. And he has won what may (or may not) be a significant prize from the Indian Institute of Cartoonists - http://www.cartoonistsindia.com/htm/home.htm. But I think we really need a Hindi-speaker to establish whether there's any third-party coverage in that huge chunk of Indian media us (presumed) English-speakers are missing.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - With regrets. He is a cartoonist with major newspapers. But with no coverage in secondary sources, this BLP cannot be reliably sourced.--Sodabottle (talk) 14:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
