Contested WP:PROD. I can find no online reliable sources in the Latin alphabet about this Indian film director, but then, again, I don't have access to Indian print sources and can't read Punjabi or Hindi so someone might be able to come up with something.

Delete - The only person contesting this prod at this point is you. The PROD should have remained... especially if you couldn't find any sources yourself for this article. This is nothing but further process wonkery, and abuse of the IAR system. — Coffee // have a cup // ark // 22:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since when has seeking consensus been an abuse of anything? There is nothing remotely capable of doing anyone any harm in this article, so WP:BLP (in its spirit) is not a reason to ignore procedures agreed by consensus. Just because you bully one editor into submission it doesn't mean that we will all put up with the same treatment. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability due to lack of sources. As an aside, Coffee, please remember to be civil. No one is going to die as a result of bringing this to AfD, and User:Shawn in Montreal is the one who contested the PROD (see this diff), so please check the facts before berating other users.

If any person objects to the deletion (usually by removing the {{prod}} tag), the proposal is aborted and may not be re-proposed.

Delete as original prod-der. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete after a lengthy and fruitless search. The lede begins "P. Paul Verma is a well known Indian film director, film producer, screenwriter, and screen play and dialogue writer..."... but if that were actually true we'd be able to find at least something about the fellow, and I am unable to source the individual or any of his films. Since it cannot be even WP:Verified, the lede becomes unsourcable hyperbole. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:51, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
