Mrinal kaul

Blatant autobiography. Is he notable? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 01:21, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no evidence of notability. A few college awards? Meh. Ultimately looks like a WP:RESUME. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As I understand it, he does not have a doctoral degree yet and is only planning to pursue one (see here [1]). It is not clear if he already has written significant books or other academic publications (googling does not produce evidence of that and the article does not give any references either). So does not pass WP:PROF at the moment. Could possibly be notable as a poet, under WP:BIO, as indicated by the awards mentioned. However, with no references indicating what poetry and where he published and without more info about the awards mentioned, the case for notability as a poet has not been made either.

Strong Delete I think this should be nominated to Template:Db-person - not here. It's an article written by the user about himself. Check the author name. --gppande «talk» 08:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability was asserted in the article, so speedy was inappropriate. --Crusio (talk) 10:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Not even a PhD, no evidence of any notability. --Crusio (talk) 10:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete It looks like a resume, no wikilinks, formatting, sources. Besides, he doesn't seem of importance. T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 19:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per Nsk92's reasoning. TN‑X-Man 19:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~possible keep~~speedy delete if sources are found may be somewhat notable (meeting WP:BIO guidelines just not this editor's interests) if sources are found. ill try and see if it can be {{Rescue}}d.Myheartinchile (talk) 21:20, 26 June 2008 (UTC) - in my attempts to imrprove the article i found that the sources simply prove that this is a self-promotional ad not an encyclopedia article.Myheartinchile (talk) 21:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per all of the above. Greg Jones II 00:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not speedy for it says he won prizes. The prizes are only by his colelge, so they dont count towards notabilty & the others are only nomination for prizes he did not win. Suggest a SNOW if nobody speaks for it. DGG (talk) 03:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete One of the sources is merely a blog site which is not a reliable source. The other is this person's own site. Artene50 (talk) 09:11, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. Yet another autobiography.--CyberGhostface (talk) 15:44, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
