The result was   keep. It's a bit hard to delete an article with the rationale "it's not sourced right now". We wouldn't have this website if that were the case. &mdash; Joseph Fox 01:13, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Claimed to be a famous writer but no-one seems able to find any supporting references. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:14, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I presume that the claim that "no-one" can find references includes you. Could you please outline the efforts that you have made to find references? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:44, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Stubify to remove many claims unsupported by sources. I'm also weary about all the sources for someone who appears to be political coming from a single newspaper. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:07, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sources not yet substantial enough. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:26, 17 October 2011 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep – There are sources that show that this person is notable. Inter rest (talk) 20:20, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep the information in the article is supported by the reliable sources listed there, and is sufficient to show notability by the GNG, and probably WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF. The article had an adequate obit from The Hindu (the most reliable Indian newspaper available to us, as one of the people who commented may not be aware) to show notability at the time it was nominated, and Phil immediately added others from the same newspaper. We very often have sourcing problems with people with such careers in India, even people with asserted careers as  notable as this, as there are no newspaper, magazine, or citation indexes available for that country, and no online union library catalogs either,  but this time we're fortunate.
