delete Searching doesn't find anything other than, maybe, professional directory stuff. There is another person of the same name who was a test case player in a Canadian immigration incident. Mangoe (talk) 21:17, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete He is a botanist for sure, but not enough coverage on him to support his notability. There are two colleges in Bihar, Munshi Singh College and Munshi Singh Law Collge - but they are not named after him. So tried a modified google search with this string "Munshi Singh" botany -wikipedia -"munshi singh college" -"munshi singh law college". This gives 13 results, last five points to wikipedia page itself; other ones have list of few papers (from journals).--GDibyendu (talk) 06:06, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't appear to meet WP:PROF; a Google Books search for "Munshi Singh" cotton turns up a few mentions of his papers, and he has a few citations on Google Scholar as well, but not enough to meet criterion #1 of WP:PROF. The article says he won an award from the Indian Society for Cotton Improvement, but there doesn't appear to be any online evidence of this. --Cerebellum (talk) 15:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
