Jaishree Odin

Part of the extended family of Ram Nath Kak. Wikipedia is not for genealogy. See related nominations. Rossami (talk) 08:30, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete as above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:24, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Author of one book and editor of another. [1]. This biography from a scientific conference indicates that she has written several published articles as well. Notable enough for Wikipedia, I'd say. Alarm 20:04, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete as per previous Ram Nath Kak comments. Megan1967 00:46, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, this one's encyclopedic. Wyss 08:12, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. She seems to be at least borderline notable, but I can't see how deletion of one family member or some general comments about genealogy can condemn every single member of a whole family to deletion. Each case has to be judged on its own merits, and there is plenty of precedence, both in Wikipedia and in traditional encyclopedias, to show that notable families or families with many notable members indeed are considered encyclopedic. / up+land 09:52, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, for reasons given by Alarm, and her two books have few but good reviews at Amazon.com ([2]), should maybe be merged with information from the article on Ram Nath Kak and Sarojini Kak.--Loa 21:34, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Every college prof in America has published something. They can't all get 'pedia pages. Bacchiad 07:57, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
