 * Comment Unless more is found, the question of the subject's notability probably hinges on the award noted in the article. I've sourced this and added a reference which clarifies that it is for "upcoming young journalists" in Sikkim. AllyD (talk) 08:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I found one result here where he is congratulated for the award and this announcement supporting the Press Club of Sikkim position. While continuing my search, I found a blog that referred to him as "Parasmani Dungal" and I found another link with "Para Smani Dungal" so it's possible there are several variants of his name (not surprising, considering this is very common with Indian and Middle Eastern names). I would be satisfied if the article listed any of his most known stories or anything else significant pertaining to his career. I attempted to search for evidence supporting his two books but found none. As with all foreigners, it is certainly possible that sources may not be English or Internet-based. Curious to see if the award was notable itself, I searched with Google News and found one result but a main Google search provided several results, mostly blogs, suggesting this award is widely given to journalists, which the journalists probably aren't all notable.

 * Delete I think the question here is whether or not the subject meets notability based on this recognition, which aside from self-references seems to be the person's only claim to fame. I don't think that's enough. § FreeRangeFrog 21:54, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
