Non-notable. No independent sources cited. Puffery and promotional language. Lots of original research. --L235 (talk) Ping when replying 06:28, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep There are multiple sources out there in English, never mind Devanagari. Sure, the article needs clean up but that is no reason to delete it.  Philg88 ^♦talk 07:12, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Entire article is OR, not written to standards, and subject is wholly non-notable on en.wp. On the bright side, all the non-English external links are 404s!--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 07:26, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure on what you base your assertion that Thakur is non-notable when he is covered in multiple independent reliable sources.  Philg88 ^♦talk 07:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So put them in! (Even with refs I'd have a hard time liking the article in its present form. What a mess.)--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 08:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep -Subject meets WP:GNG, WP:BIO standard for having significant coverage in 'multiple' secondary, independent and reliable sources (Hindi sources, English sources). One requires to use these sources to improve the article, though. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 13:23, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Meets WP:BIO for sure. Noteswork (talk) 12:49, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
