Rana Ali Hasan Chauhan[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG. He is published by an advocacy group, has no citations at JSTOR, gets only a mirror hit and a single catalogue entry on GScholar and a couple of minor mentions on GBooks. Worldcat shows little and suggests the possibility that his book was initially self-published (Chauhan Publications). The guy seems to fail WP:AUTHOR, WP:ACADEMIC as well as GNG, although maybe this is systemic thing - I have no means of checking non-English, offline sources.

Delete. One book written does not a notable person make. 3/4 of the results on Google are WP mirrors; all of the rest are listings of his book or forums. ^King Jakob _C2 16:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Writing one book does not usually make a person notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:51, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - one would almost think this is prod material. It's a one sentence article about a guy who wrote a book. We could just call it a WP:GNG fail without even moving further up the ladder. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:23, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
