Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Amitabh Mitra

It seems that there has been an effort to question the validity of this article. I strongly protest at this decision.

Support for Dr Amitabh Mitra
Amitabh Mitra is a remarkable man, a professional medical doctor, an artist and a poet of distinction. The article which has been suggested for deletion is wholly accurate, and indeed Dr Mitra has a big International following. His poetry has been published widely in South Africa and India and through the internet he has a much wider following. I would strongly suggest to Wikipedia that the entry is retained as it offers a strong link to an established poet from South Africa

I've known Dr Amitabh Mitra for the last few years and have appreciated his poetry and articles and paintings. He's a man of remarkable aesthetics and creative talent. The wikipaedia entry serves as a valid link to the life and works of Dr Amitabh Mitra and should not be deleted - C K Kerala Varma, Chennai, India.

There is no doubt in my mind that Dr Amitabh Mitra is important both as a poet, as a painter and as a medical doctor. I know him in the first instance as a poet, and there is no doubt in my mind that his contribution to Indian and South African poetry deserves an entry in wikipedia. The entry in wikipedia should under no circumstance be deleted.
