This article should be deleted as it is not notable as the person does not meet the WP:BASIC criteria as there is no significant coverage of this person (only IMDB and trivial mentions). -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 18:02, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:GNG as well. No claim of significance to qualify it to be an article. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I'm not surprised that Hindi director active in the 1960s does not have a ton of sources available readily available online. That doesn't mean he's non-notable, it just means there's WP:SYSTEMIC bias to the available online sources. There are enough hits in the English Google book results to suggest that he's likely notable -- the best sources are likely offline, and in Hindi. This needs attention from a native speaker.

  • Hi, I am not sure if I am allowed to vote here since I was the one who created his article. But just wanted to point out that a search of news i.e. https://www.google.com/search?q=vasant+joglekar&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiTiZuO7LPZAhVGzWMKHR2uB8AQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=662 has several mentions of him. Thanks.Acharya63 (talk) 06:17, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Acharya63, yes you are welcome to take part in the discussion. As Υπογράφω has pointed out this article illustrates two of Wikipedia's weaknesses, we don't have digital access to enough sources from the pre internet era, especially in languages like Marathii and Hindi. Of course sources don't need to be online any more than they need to be in English, so if you have access to books, magazines or newspapers of or about that era feel free to use them to improve the article.

• Weak keep--See this reference.Old Marathi dalilies have covered him to some extent.At any case, the news refs which are online mentions the subject as the director of the first Hindi film to feature Lata Mangeshkar's voice and are pretty much unable to establish any notabilty.~ Winged Blades^Godric 08:56, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
