I dislike nominating non-US/UK artist articles for deletion unless there's a very good reason, but this article about an alleged Indian artist sets off all sorts of alarm bells. It almost seems like the claims are made up! I can't find any trace of Art Magazine or the Elephanta Award or Ambrosia Award, while there is a Sri Kala Niketan Cultural Award but no evidence Satabdi won it. Because she soesn't give a fuller name, it's difficult to search meaningfully for info about her online. I can only assume the whole article is an exagerated (if not made-up) promotional profile. Fails WP:V, WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Sionk (talk) 02:43, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agreed. I found a HighBeam article about her and it sounds as if art is a sideline - she's an actor and director. I'm not finding anything else about painting. She seems to have some sort of a following and appears on blogs about her art - but I'm not finding another reliable source.--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:19, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - another option is to retain the article, but rewrite it to include her acting and directing work.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:23, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the news article proves she exists, but is she notable for anything? I don't have access to Highbeam so don't know what the article says about her. Sionk (talk) 20:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. I think the highbeam article is about a different person, Satabdi Roy (compare the birthdates). —David Eppstein (talk) 01:29, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
