Fails WP:GNG. I'm afraid that this is just another pointless article about a non-notable person created by B de2002 (talk · contribs), who seems to have been attempting to memorialise various family members and acquaintances - eg: see this and this. Only sources at GBooks and GSearch seem to be mirrors. Sitush (talk) 15:15, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I should point out that the article did claim him to have been Accountant General. Such posts do still exist at state level in India but I've not been able to verify the claim. I guess that there might be an argument for inherent notability if it can be verified, although the article will be a singe-sentence stub. - Sitush (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - google search [1] gives me following information :- GUPTA, Sarat Kumar Dutta, M.A., M.B.E., late Indian Finance Dept. (b. 17th June, 1881). — Retd., June, 1936* ; re-empld. in dept. of war transport, govt, of India... The India Office and Burma Office List - Page 209..1945 - ‎Snippet view.

Assuming this is the same person, which it may not be, why is a mention in the India List an indication of notability? It was a directory of people serving in various capacities in the British administration of India and was pretty indiscriminate. I've recently discovered that one of my relatives is mentioned in it but he is not notable - he was a fourth-grade civil servant. - Sitush (talk) 10:19, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
