Manoj Joshi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability: worked for one of India's tabloids as editor. Held an advisory position to the government. Author of two books. The listed references only attest to his existence but none to his encyclopaedic notability. — kashmīrī  TALK  07:23, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - It is not always easy to get secondary sources that verify notability of scholars, especially in policy sphere. But Manoj Joshi is a Senior Fellow in India's top think tank. He is regularly featured in newspaper and television debates as an expert on policy matters. His book on Kashmir insurgency has 73 citations on Google Scholar. Its reviews included (quoting from the book cover of another book ):
 * "... a compelling and breathtaking account of the immediate origins of the insurgency" (Sumit Ganguly)
 * "In its sheer wealth of detail it far surpasses anything that has been written so far [about the Kashmir conflict]" (Prem Shankar Jha).

 * But what about the actual person's notability? Having authored two academic books, even if one was quoted 73 times (see WP:GOOGLEHITS), falls rather short of WP:NACADEMIC. Also, I am not sure Wikipedia should contain entries on all Senior Fellows. — kashmīrī  TALK  07:34, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep passes WP:GNG. His Bio from India Today Conclave shows that he is indeed a notable journalist, senior editor and cited author.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  12:34, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
