Kaba Gandhi No Delo[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is about, I think, a museum for where Gandhi stayed for a small part of his life. Per WP:INHERIT, this does not, in and of itself, make the museum notable. Without independent reliable sources asserting notability, article should be deleted per WP:V and WP:N. Note that article creator is making a series of articles about this town, others of which have also been flagged for deletion. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:54, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable enough to be one of the main attractions in Rajkot. [1][2][3] Like Beethoven House, a place can become notable if related to an iconic figure. And at least one reliable source calls it Ghandi's "ancestral home", not just a place "where Gandhi stayed for a small part of his life." [4] What the article creator has been doing with other articles has nothing to do with the notability of this one. (I see that the article was created by an anon in 2005 who only had three edits total, so I'm not sure what the nom is talking about here anyway.) --Oakshade (talk) 04:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. With at least 50 mentions in books and magazines, this seems to be a notable museum. utcursch | talk 19:51, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw: Personally, I don't think guide books are reliable sources, but I've seen them used in other articles. As such, I withdraw the AfD, and this can be closed. It would be great if someone actually added these references to the article (I won't be doing so myself). Qwyrxian (talk) 01:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
