Previously deleted via PROD, now recreated but same issues apply - a non-notable journalist and film critic, most sources here are links to his articles. There is one book review of a book, but WP:GNG passing significant coverage there is not and his role does not, a misunderstanding of the page's creator, automatically confer notability upon him.

• Keep highly notable film critic; one of the most famous, prolific and veteran film critics in India. Writer of a notable book (the nominator says there is one review while there are two), the foreward to which was written by no less than Amitabh Bachchan. Saying this critic is non-notable while reliable sources are provided to show the opposite, is really far-fetched. Moreover, not a single source is a link to his article but to his pages in the website of each publication. Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:06, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shshshsh: Please link here to the two sources (and only two) which you think give the greatest in-depth coverage of Jha. Book reviews do not establish notability of the author, they establish notability of the book. Reviews written by Jha in notable journals do not establish his notability. Passing mentions, no matter how complimentary, do not establish notability. In the absence of sources that meet WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO, I am at delete. SpinningSpark 17:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
