Not qualifying WP:ANYBIO or WP:ARTIST if we consider him an artist? There are mentions in a few news articles but all of them are his quotes or opinions on some social issues.

Weak keep I think the following three sources:
1. Bhatkhande, Ankita; Chandrasekharan, Gitanjali (7 June 2015). "Class act". Mumbai Mirror.
2. Tambe, Chandrasheel (5 June 2018). "Stigma to Freedom: Reflection of caste and identity in the poems of Vaibahv Chhaya". Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences. 25 (1): 1–16 pages. ISSN 0972-1401.
3. Dsouza, Dipti Nagpaul (23 February 2019). "Fourth edition of Dhasal literary festival to focus on marginalised voices". The Indian Express.

show that the subject has some prominence as a contemporary Dalit poet-activist, and may just about push him over the WP:GNG/WP:NAUTHOR line. There may be other sources/reviews in Marathi but the nominator is likely better equipped than I to find and evaluate the them. Abecedare (talk) 09:23, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as per nomination and this is the further analysis of sources mentioned.

@QueerEcofeminist: Can you take a look at the Mumbai Mirror article again, since it is is more than "Just a mention of Vaibhav's name and a quote by him"? Almost all of the article starting from "Vaibhav Chaya, like his guru Namdeo Dhasal, has little value for prosody" concerns the subject. Abecedare (talk) 15:58, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abecedare, right I checked again, Yes it takes a review of works by Vaibhav, Nisar Zalte, Kabeer Shakya and few more people. that article has enough of the coverage, which makes two sources have enough sources. I guess this subject is yet to gain enough coverage, they might get more in coming years but atleast now we don't have enough of it.

Thanks for taking a second look. Abecedare (talk) 16:28, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:SIGCOV. Possible case of WP:TOOSOON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:42, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet any of the 4 criteria of WP:POET - minor poet with only one book - the writing section says that he has only written articles for newspapers or magazines, no major critical essays on poetry, no anthologies, no poetry awards - promotional article for non-notable person; therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 20:28, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
