There are no Google hits for "sharad raghav rane" or "sha ra rane" or "dr sharad rane", except for this new Wikipedia article and a failed Articles For Creation submission. Contrast this with Bhalchandra Nemade, who gets about 400 Ghits besides the 400 from Wikipedia mirrors. Quuxplusone 08:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete (nominator's vote). I don't seriously think this is a hoax, but I find your lack of sources... disturbing. --Quuxplusone 08:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This article is not created for any marketing or promotional campaign.The main source of this article is the information which was alreday there at Wikipedia about Leva Patil. If you look at Khandesh, Jalgaon, Marathi Literature and Marathi writers pages you will see Dr.Sharad Rane's name.

 * Keep, & run it by some of our Marathi speakers. I've mentioned it on Talk:Marathi language & Talk:Marathi literature to get the attention of some of those who don't frequent this namespace.

 * Comment: The author provided by e-mail scans of covers of three Devanagari books, one article in a newspaper (in Devanagari) about the guy and two ISBNs of his books. The author claims that the publishers of the books are well known in India and not vanities. Since I do not Devanagari and pretty ignorant about India's publishers I cannot independently verify the provided info. I would rather see the information added to the articles and verified by some Devanagari-speaking wikipedian, but I am withdrawing my Delete voice. If everything is true then the article should be kept Alex Bakharev 10:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Image:Sharad.jpg says "The book Dagadu Malish and Itar goshti (Dagadu Malish and other stoires), by Faizpur's famous literary figure Dr. Sha. Ra. Rane, was released at Dhanaji Nana Mahavidyalaya (College)". The rest of the text talks about the function (many students and professors were present, professors/principal expressed their views on the book etc.) I've some knowledge of Marathi literature, and I've not heard of Sharad Raghav Rane before. I tried googling in Devanagari with शरद राणे and श रा राणे, but that doesn't return any relevant results. I can't say much about the importance of "Sane Guruji Puraskar", as there are umpteen number of awards named after Sane Guruji in Maharashtra. "Sneha Puraskar" from "Marathi Sahitya Sabha" is not a major award in my knowledge. He seems to be locally-know figure, certainly not as well-known as Bhalchandra Nemade. I doubt that the subject passes WP:BIO. utcursch | talk 15:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Shri.Bhalachandra Nemade has written a article on the book "Kandil" published by Dr.Sharad Rane. If you want to enclose scan copy of that I can do that. This article is publised as the back side of the cover Novel "Kandil". This article is written by Shri.Bhalchandra Nemade and describes Shri.Nemade's view on this book as well as on Dr.Rane's literature. I think the government of Maharashtra honored his book Panchmukhi Pandu as the best children's book of the year 1986–87. This is not a small puraskar. I would be happy if somebody checks with Dr.Bhalchandra Nemade himself about Dr.Sharad Rane. He will be certainly very happy to give his report on Dr.Rane's wrok in Marathi literature.

 * I am enclosing the last page of the Novel Kandil wherein Dr.Bhalchandra Nemade has expressed his views on the Novel. The front page and inside page scan copies are also enclosed.

 * Comment. For those who don't understand Marathi: Image:Insidefront.jpg is about a book Kandeel authored by Sharad Raghav Rane, published in October 2006 (ISBN 81-86152-36-9). In Image:Dr.Nemade article.jpg, Bhalchandra Nemade addresses Sharad Raghav Rane, saying "You've authored many stories for children, essays, reviews, research papers, one-act plays, poems and character writings...". The rest of the text is about Nemade reviewing the book. utcursch | talk 13:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
