Ningombam Bupenda Meitei

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The subject of this biography is not (yet) notable. Despite what appears to be prolific creation of material by the individual, good faith news, web, and book searches indicate that he has not attracted any significant coverage in reliable independent sources, nor has he won any awards, nor does he appear to satisfy any of the other criteria of WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. Had the article's proponent[s] not repeatedly removed maintenance tags on the article, I would have waited a longer period of time before taking this to AfD, but it is clear that the key editor[s] of the article (despite my suspicion that [he is/they are] uniquely placed to know of any third-party material on the subject) have determined that it is capable of standing on the sources currently provided.

 * Comment: Well, the article is written ok and is not your usual gimme on AfD. I would lean toward a weak keep here or give time, but dang, really not one single source that I can see... Maybe we need a Bengali editor or someone from India to help (I apologize in advance if I did not word the nationality in question correctly). If I can be shown a source or two apart from blogs and poem reviews I will vote as I initially leaned to... Turqoise127 (talk) 23:04, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Its a high time to look at those newspapers given as a reference n even the TV interview too. Those newspapers r not published online but that doesn't mean that the news r simply made up.Deleting or destroying is an easy task but making up is a sensible journey.Hamprey (talk) 09:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Remove deletion tag n the issue is resolved  The issue is already resolved, if anyone wishes to continue pulling down the article,then one is free to do with some logic n rationality.Hamprey (talk) 10:49, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. The latest in a string a non-notable poet entries. No evidence of notability. No issues are going to be "resolved" by simply removing the AfD tag (so, ahem, please stop removing it). Hairhorn (talk)

 * Keep. I had a discussion with the user and I gave him advice on how to improve the article. He created a page in his userspace and, after my advice, added references, which could (I haven't investigated them) prove notability. I'm going to fix a few more things and then we can see if the userspace article is good enough to be reviewed as a replacement for the old, unreferenced article. -- The Grim  Reaper  17:46, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * How do the above facts suggest that keeping the article is consistent with guidelines? Bongo  matic  08:35, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Well, the above records will show the proof of the existence of the article's reality .The records r officially kept in hard copy, I m sure they will be proved right if we hav wikepedia sub centres throughout the world ,not only in the national capital but also at the regional and state level. Its easy to criticize but difficult to digest the hard reality which doesn't neccessarily requires web links to prove every statement or sentence being written in wikepedia.
 * I m sure critics will hav to say simply "delete" and "remove it" n its not "notable" but irony is that, the contents r in the form of hard copy . I find only a few people in this world r optimistically less sceptical. I hope n wish the page is given a full fledged life in wikepedia by removing any non sensical n irrational tag which doesn't respect the references given in hard copy.Atom98 (talk) 15:47, 26 October 2009 (UTC) Comment removed per []&mdash; Bongo   matic  23:19, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
