[edit] Romit Raaj

Romit Raaj (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This person isn't notable enough to be on Wikipedia and no reliable sources given.

  • Delete - not notable. Macy's123 review me 18:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete -- has no WP:RS to establish notability. StudierMalMarburg (talk) 18:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete - Country of origin unknown, no WP:RS, no WP:NOTE, nothing! Two One Six Five Five discuss my greatness 19:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. We should avoid WP:BIAS. He might be borderline notable in India. Google comes up with some interesting results but I'm not sure these are enough.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 00:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep (conditional)(see below) - unless an editor in India agrees to a delete. I found the article only because it incorrectly linked to the rugby disambiguation page. I immediately added three links: one to Zee TV and one to each of the two TV shows. India is is the country with the world's largest english-speaking population, I think, so this article is at least as relevant to the english Wilipedia as an article on (say) an actor who was a regular on Dallas. But unless you watch Zee TV, you cannot really have a valid opinion. -Arch dude (talk) 01:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Valid opinions are based upon the existence of sources, to demonstrate that the the WP:BIO criteria are satisfied, and upon our various content policies, including Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. They aren't based upon what an editor watches on the television. That way madness and chaos lies. HisSpaceResearch approached this the right way, by looking for sources and citing them so that their provenances and depths can be evaluated. You have not. Please learn from xyr example.

      • OK, let me re-phrase: based on the borderline reliable sources found by HSR and noted above, we should lean toward keeping this article. -Arch dude (talk) 12:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I just did some quick research, This guy's name is also spelled "Romit Raj", and there are several articles about him (not just mentioning him) in what appear to be the online versions of major Indian newspapers. I have added the references to two such articles. I would appreciate it if someone familiar with the Indian press can verify the nature of the sources. -Arch dude (talk) 13:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
