No indication of notability. I request this article be WP:SALTed, as it has been speedied several times before [1]

Weak Keep. Needs total rewriting. But subject seems notable enough as author of multiple books. The present article although looks to me as total advert. Shovon (talk) 13:11, 20 September 2010 (UTC) Delete. No reliable sources to suggest that this person is notable. Also, the article is an advert piece.

Delete - couldn't find evidence of notability by reliable independent sources. Lots of exaggerated claims of fancy prizes and international renown, but very little actual evidence for these claims. Despite authoring some books and articles, could not find anything to conclusively say this person passes WP:AUTHOR, WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG--137.122.49.102 (talk) 14:37, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons given. Eeekster (talk) 07:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Should this article perhaps be redirected to Indian National Green Party? Full disclosure: I had previously added a WP:CSD tag to this article, as I could see no context in one of its previous versions. Indian National Green Party is also likely to be an AfD candidate. On further reflection, I would argue that a minor political figure of similar status in, say, the UK, New Zealand or Canada would not have their notability questioned. --Shirt58 (talk) 13:32, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If we filter through all the fluff, the only statement that could assure notability is that "he founded the Indian National Green Party". However, the only external source I found for this claim is this site, which lists him as current national president, not founder. I actually doubt the legitimacy of that site, and I'm not sure whether it refers to the more legit one referenced, for eg., here, (I'll be happy if someone can back this up). Same problem with the claimed list of international awards, none of which cite any sources. Thus, the article might be notable if we can provide reliable evidence for all the claims made, otherwise it is an obvious delete. SPat ^talk 15:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
