 * Strong keep. Manohar Shetty is absolutely notable per Wikipedia guidelines. Normally with non-Western poets the issue is finding reliable citations in English proving their notability. That is not an issue with Shetty. For example, he has an entry in the Encyclopedia of Post-Colonial Literatures in English along with being covered in The English Language Poetry of South Asians, A History of Indian Poetry in English, and many other books. I added some of these citations to the article but there are still many more to be added. We don't delete articles on notable subjects simply because the article still needs work or lacks citations which can be easily found.--SouthernNights (talk) 21:32, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - I don't doubt a certain notability of the writer, the article does not appear to be self-promotion, the article is near decent a state, and is being actively worked on. It may perhaps be best to tag it as necessary (for specific issues it has) and leave more time.  PaleoNeonate (talk) 12:41, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
