 * Comment If she writes most often in Marathi, is it possible we are missing sources because of a language barrier? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:19, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - She seems an accomplished poetess herself and was involved in Samyukta Maharashtra Movement, but the problem lies in finding the reliable sources for the same. Firstly her name is "Shirish Pai" and Atre is her father's name (in Maharashtra ladies add their father's name to theirs). Secondly in Google Books her name is written as Śirīsha Pai (notice "a" being added to the name which makes it even more difficult to find reliable source). She also seems to be the owner of a newspaper named "Maratha" which Raj Thackeray wanted to buy (see here). We would need someone quite familiar with Marathi literature / Maharashtra politics to resolve this one.  vivek7de  --tAlK 15:15, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - WorldCat shows that she has written 42 works, all of which are in Marathi. I am leaning towards "Keep", but since I don't know enough about the subject or the language, I'm refraining from !voting. Elia Soaten (talk) 23:29, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
