Non-notable author fails WP:AUTHOR. Google search returns nothing substantial, other than linking back to Wiki. Not to be confused with Sandip Ray. RationalPuff (talk) 17:14, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete A WP:BEFORE search doesn't reveal much and most of the sources in the article are either primary or wouldn't be considered reliable. Doesn't pass WP:N requirements, therefore delete is my conclusion. -- A Rose Wolf ( Talk ) 21:26, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete not even close to being a notable writer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:29, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have heard of him, but without significant coverage, he's not notable. I'm afraid that he's friends with two friends of mine, one of whom is my alternate executor. Yes, the gay world is quite small. Bearian (talk) 19:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The article say that his book longlisted for the DSC Prize, one of the major literary awards in South Asia. But I don't think he has received such nomination. Neither the linked reference nor the DSC wikipage support this fact. If he really has received such nomination, I may change my vote to keep. --Gazal world (talk) 20:09, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
