Article written by the subject's son, as mentioned by the writer himself in the article (compare with the user page). Delete as vanity. Turyabasu 12:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• If you are going to nominate my article for deletion at least take some time to learn WP mechanics! Anyway, Keep. Loom91 12:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. There is a legit Indian celebrity by this name ([1], [2]), but it doesn't seem to be the same person that this article is about. Compare "Joy Basu" Sunetra, which yields no hits other than this WP page. Rewrite as an article about the other guy? ergot 20:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unable to verify notability. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 02:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I decided to add some rationale to my Keep so I striked out my vote at top. About verifiability, there is a link at the page and about the play, it is only likely that a Bengali play performed only at Kolkata will have no mention on Google. The Google can hardly be taken as the index of all Truths. The movie site clearly mentions Joy Basu, so I can't see how the notability is not verifiable, unless you say that writing the script of a movie and a play being regularly performed by a prominent theater group of a large metropolis does not count as notable. About the other Joy Basu, I know of him. If someone does write an article about him sometime, then both should be kept on different pages and the current Joy Basu page serve as Disambiguation as is standard practice for several people with the same name.
