Possible WP:HOAX. Can't find any stories he as written, and refs seems to be mix of blogs, dead ends and odd listing. Refs are not consistent. Fails WP:BIO. scope_creep (talk) 16:21, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It is noteworthy here that any addition or deletion has its relevance,meaning and impact in the case of Wikipedia.In my opinion there world should be told about a genuin, living and working journalist who is approved by Govt of India and has a commendable share in journalism and writing.It is also worth mentioning here that not a single source has been brought on record from any BLOG.The person has aplace in WHO IS WHO directory published online by Sahitya Academy, one of the highly reputed organization of the country, being part of Ministry of Eduacation,Govt of India.

 * Delete - light on for references, not notable individual. Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:42, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - everything referenced is self-promotional in nature. Power~enwiki (talk) 07:41, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: A WP:SPA article on a journalist, with WP:PEACOCK prose and poor references. Being a recognised journalist goes with the trade and is not in itself an indicator of encyclopaedic notability. Regarding the Sahitya Akademi and their "Who's Who of Indian Writers" (ref 1 and mentioned by the article creator above), their site invites self-submission (here) so also fails to be a WP:RS. Fails to meet biographical notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 11:00, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
