I'm not seeing the claim to notability here, although I am quite confused by the wording of the lead sentence. Article appears to have been written by the subject, contains unsourced claims, and needs to be cleaned up if kept. لenna vecia  16:07, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This has to be decided by Wiki India. There is a relation to Indian Rock star Amitab. --Athos, Porthos, and Aramis (talk) 17:21, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it is decided by everybody, by the entire community of Wikipedia editors. And that decision has nothing to do with fame, importance, or being related to somebody else.  Notability is not fame nor importance.  For a biographical article to exist, independent and reliable sources must exist documenting the person's life and works, to provide a basis for the biographical article in the first place.

 * I agree with you by all means. What I meant is that Wiki India should be in this.
 * Keep. I've rearranged the article content to make it a bit more presentable and to get the subject's own claim to notability in first, before his family background. The cited source from The Times of India explains Mr Nanda's notability, and there are plenty more sources to back that up found by a Google News search. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
