Gurcharan Singh Bhikhi (Sidki)

Does not meet our criteria for notability. He's apparently published a couple of books of poetry, but there's no review of the books or him included in the article or for finding. Tried in both English and Punjabi; Punjabi sources throw up an unrelated person with the same name, so that shouldn't be confused here. —SpacemanSpiff 12:30, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Though I'm sure he's very important to his grandchildren, one of whom is a major contributor to the article, (see talk page) I was not able to find anything via Google Books or Google News on this gent, and my attempts to solicit help from WikiProject Pakistan, WikiProject India and the Reference Desk didn't bear any fruit. My attempts to explain to one of the contributors (see talk page and this reply on my talk page) that the subject's notability needs to be adequately established, apparently fell on deaf ears. Article has been problematic since 2013. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is WP:NOTMEMORIAL, article is unsourced, contains WP:OR and web searches didn't yield any results except social media maintained by the article creator/subject's family Kraxler (talk) 14:42, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom. Kraxler's point about WP:OR is a good one (in conjunction with the discussion on the talk page), and searches on googlebooks and googlenews provided nothing to substantiate notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:23, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
