 * The article does have this passing mention as well as a follow up piece by the same writer in The Hindu. Not saying that that's enough, just that it exists. But that's all I can find. Let's keep in mind that Hindi coverage would be acceptable as well. But unless those sources can be found, based on what I'd see, I'd default to not keeping the article. I won't enter a bolded !vote at this stage, in case some Hindi reliable sources are found. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I tried searching for covrage in any Hindi reliable soruce also per WP:INDAFD but no luck. The only link I can see is the one you mention above which is a passing mention. I'm open to withdraw my nomination if anyone can provide some significant coverage in reliable sources in any language. GSS (talk |c|em ) 16:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Wait, I see from your userpage that you have near-perfect proficiency in Hindi -- or maybe it was just an erroneous assumption on my part that Hindi would be the Indian language to search for. But you also speak Punjabi, etc. Anyway, I'm satisfied. delete. If anyone comes up with non-English (or English) reliable sources, just ping me.
