I previously put a WP:PROD on this biography with the rationale "The article references are a variety of listings. No reliably-sourced evidence that this person has attained notability." The Prod was removed by the article creator (a WP:SPA) without comment. I am bringing the article to AfD on the same rationale as the Prod. AllyD (talk) 20:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Google News US and India failed to provide additional sources. The only nearly reliable link is The Hindu article which only mentions him once. Additionally, the article would severely need a complete rewrite as it suffers from NPOV issues including "beautiful and place", "kind human being" and "highly talented". It is certainly possible additional sources may not be English but there isn't a native name to help widen the search. SwisterTwister talk 21:53, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:UPANDCOMING, WP:HAMMER, and WP:CRYSTAL -- he's not yet notable. Also, there is no evidence of significant coverage in a reliable source. The title is written as if it were a court case, which could confuse the newbie. Bearian (talk) 19:18, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At this point it should probably be merged into Alcohol (novel) though it appears the book is not notable either. --Pink Bull 15:31, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
