In the book cited she is one of twenty-one people discussed. Other than mirrors and forks, there doesn't seem to be much in online searches and the only offline source I can find is the cited book. Courtesy ping Winged Blades of Godric. SITH (talk) 18:51, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The nomination rationale is misleading. The cited book (preview available at Google Books) contains biographies of 21 people. The subject's biography is 13 pages long. That constitutes WP:SIGCOV, which does not need to be book-length, and need not be the main topic of the source material. It is not sufficient - multiple sources need to be found (I will comment again when I have searched), but the nominator is wrong in implying that it is not WP:SIGCOV. RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: WP:SIGCOV does not automatically transfer to notability, but an assumption or presumption, and not a guarantee that an article should exist. Significant coverage in one source may not satisfy a basic criterion of being in multiple published sources or WP:ANYBIO. I will look back to see what User:RebeccaGreen has found.

Keep. I don't know where the nominator was looking for offline sources, but the obvious place, the Google Books search automatically linked by the nomination process, finds several. I see that another one of them has been added to the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:08, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have added a few more references. The Business Today article and the book The Voyage to Excellence have lengthy coverage, while the book Inside the Indian Business Mind has a substantial paragraph about her. Other sources provide details, or describe her as a role model and the first to shatter the glass ceiling. She meets WP:BASIC, and is clearly regarded as an important figure in Indian banking.

Keep Have quite a few references now. As RebeccaGreen mentioned, an important figure in Indian banking. Meets WP:BASIC. Regards, --Dwaipayan (talk) 20:56, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per User:RebeccaGreen's additions. I added that Vakil retired from Exim. She was active as late as January 2019 as an Independent Non-Executive Director of Alkyl Amines Chemicals Ltd.
