The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. It's been three weeks and a search for sources by Winged Blades of Godric was fruitless, so I consider RebeccaGreen's concerns addressed. Sandstein 19:16, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly Fails WP:GNG, but there are claims that he has written major works in Assamese and Hindi literature. There are no reliable sources for it though. Daiyusha (talk) 11:04, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and Keep, for now I am unable to find any significant sources in English. I can verify that he was associated with the Assamese literary journal Jayanti, and I also discovered that he translated books from Hindi and Marathi into Assamese. Given that he was active in India from 1943-1969, it's possible that any sources that exist are not findable online, whatever language they are in. He may have received enough coverage or critical attention to be considered notable, but online sources do not provide any evidence beyond the basic facts of his work with the journal and translations. However, as this article was only created one week ago, and nominated for deletion on the same day (what happened to WP:BITE and ATD?) I would suggest keeping the article, tagging it with eg 'expert needed', adding it to relevant projects, and reviewing it after some time. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:30, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete-I went though a series of books (and or reviews) of Assamese literature and none mentions him in any manner which implies that he was hardly any significant in the literary field. Clearly non-notable, as far as NAUTHOR is concerned.∯WBG^converse 20:02, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not very sure at the moment, so I am trying to examine the claims. Bhattacharya is a Bengali surname, but there is a significant Bengali population in Assam. It is quite plausible that the Chakreshwar Bhattacharyya wrote Assamese language works. I did find some references to him and the journal "Jayanti". It seems the Jayanti journal was an early journal which indicated the shift from romantic literature to literature focused on societal issues. It is hard to understand whether his personal contributions were significant enough though. I am also not very sure about the claims of translating Marathi and Hindi works into Assamese. I will have a look at this again. --DreamLinker (talk) 20:21, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
