An article about a non-notable journalist. Neither of the article's references are about this individual (he is only mentioned in passing). Does not meet WP:BIO requirements. Warrah (talk) 14:57, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Silver  seren C 20:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added some more sources and expanded the article a bit, along with rewriting the rest and wikifying it. I believe he's just important enough to qualify for notability. Silver  seren C 20:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The reference added from The Hindu only mentions him in very brief passing. The other reference, which details his alleged involvement in a suicide, seems to violate WP:BLP1E. The subject is not notable for any achievement in his profession, hence the violation of WP:BIO. Warrah (talk) 20:54, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep . He is the editor of a popular Marathi daily with 100,000 plus circulation, has won state level awards for journalism and gets quoted as a expert/resource person in the national and international media for Farmers' suicides in India. Offline Marathi sources would definitely exist for a person like him. But since they are not here, my keep is qualified by a "weak"--Sodabottle (talk) 04:15, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * keep per Sodabottle David V Houston (talk) 22:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * keep, per silver seren. This is a notable person. Just because it is from a different country does not matter. PamelaBMX (talk) 23:38, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No one said nationality was a reason for deletion. Drmies (talk) 01:12, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep following Sodabottle--a combination of things that of themselves don't establish notability here make our subject pass, I believe. Drmies (talk) 01:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: I came across the article in new page patrol, did the initial cleanup on the article and added its first references, because I believed there was enough to suggest notability. The sources we have still aren't hefty, and my suspicion that there would be more in Hindi and Marathi is not in itself enough to prove notability, but given this person's status as editor of a fairly major regional publication I favour keeping.

 * FWIW, I asked over at Wikiproject India whether anyone fluent in the local languages could supply more sources, but nothing seems to have been forthcoming. Gonzonoir (talk) 07:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Google book search shows him mentioned in some places, but the preview they show doesn't show much, so its hard to tell what its all about. The sources found by Sodabottle convince me of this person's notability.   D r e a m Focus  07:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
