Vanity and lack of verifiable sources. This is an article written by User:Nirav.maurya about his grandmother, as he pointed out at User_talk:Bhadani#Your_Father's_Page. Not too surprisingly, it goes on at unnecessary length about Mrs. Mehta's family life. Moreover, the name "Madhuri Mehta" gets only 52 hits on google and 8 on Yahoo!search, the vast majority of which, maybe all of them, do not refer to the same person described in this article. Her maiden name gets one hit on google and none on Yahoo!. A request for sources on the article's talk page went unanswered, and it seems likely the source is simply Nirav Maurya's personal knowledge of his family, which would be original research. Actually, I had failed to notice that, while the request for cites was not answered on the talk page itself, an anon account added one source to the article: "Mid-Day article Is This What We Fought For by Vrunda Rahatekar and Suresh K.K. (1997)" In addition to the difficulty of checking an eight-year-old Indian newspaper article, it's not clear which pieces of information are sourced there and which are not. In any event, the article is still vanity, and so I'm leaving it up for deletion. - Nat Krause 06:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC
- Delete, family vanity. She sounds like a great woman, but not an especially notable one. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 07:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Userfy. If someone went to this much trouble to write about their grandmother, it shouldn't just disappear. I agree it's not article material, but cut the guy a small break and let him hold on to his work! --Jacquelyn Marie 15:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
