Sourendra Kumar Das

This article has no references to verify the notability of the subject. It previously had "references", but each of them went to articles in newspapers or online sites that Das had written, not that were about him. Simply having published articles in newspapers is not sufficient to meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG--we need independent, reliable sources that discuss Das in detail. I found two sources, but they appear to be quoting him as a high school student, along with a bunch of other high school students, about their fashion and lifestyle choices--in other words, those aren't about Das either. Unless we can verify that Das meets WP:GNG, the article should be deleted. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:58, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Delete lot of commerical links and self published source and again not meeting WP:GNG Shrikanthv (talk) 07:07, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: A user has added a bunch of what xe calls "sources", but, as Shrikanthv, they don't do what we need. Most are links to articles he has written; that doesn't effect WP:GNG. The rest are blogs, which don't meet WP:RS. I'm leaving them up in the EL section so that others can evaluate them, but they don't change my original opinion on deletion.
