I can find no evidence this individual is notable. The only online mention I can find is a picture of a house someone with this name owns, posted by his son - someone with the same name as the author of this aticle. I42 (talk) 08:07, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harihar Natu is a performar in vernacular languge Marathi,First how you will get reference in english news search only,ofcourse Marathi Languge google search returns one refrence here This reference is more about as an organiser of an event of his folk art kirtan. News Media any way happens to take very less note of folk art and artists and specialy so Indian media, How you will get, It seems to be true that his seems to have published this article , but this seems not a promotional article also, The same fellow by mistake written a little longer article at Marathi Languge wiktionay.

I feel we need to belive in people. A performer of 25 years with All India Radio can be trated as notable , Besides Marathi text given at wiktionary states that he has recived a state level award from Governer of Maharashtra .I do not find any reason not to treat him as notable.Mahitgar (talk) 15:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable performer on radio and television. – Eastmain (talk) 00:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I searched for sources and didn't find any. The linked Marathi article has a passing 1 sentence reference to Harihar Natu, and although my Marathi is pretty poor, I didn't see any biographical information in it. We cannot write a biograpy of a living person without any sources. Abecedare (talk) 07:27, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insufficient notability. An Indian performer is expected to be covered in English-languege press, if notable. Laudak (talk) 05:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
