I've no idea about how does he manage to pass either our general notability guideline or our notability guideline for academics.

Add to the above that we aren't a promotional medium.

This's a part of a likely UPE garden wherein the article-creator has created the articles of Kalinga Kusum, Rashmi Ranjan Parida and Odisha Diary all of which are connected to the same broader locus. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 13:35, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The profile is that of an academic and activist who has received appreciation from Monash University for being an Ambassador at the Parliament of World's Religions (Chicago) (https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/new-development-opportunity-for-monash-researcher) for his interfaith work in Australia. He has also been a New Leader at Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs (New York) for his youth engagement work. He has taken academia to people (like a true young public intellectual) through his engagements with print, online media and television commentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFEZKJorh6w). His literary activism through Kalinga Literary Festival has been to redefine literature (http://pragativadi.com/5th-kalinga-literary-festival-to-focus-on-building-a-just-society/). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hariayu (talk • contribs) 16:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He is promoting literature in Odisha through Kalinga Literary Festival (http://kalingaliteraryfest.com/speakers/kamala-kanta-dash/). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Debadattaindia (talk • contribs) 19:32, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-Non notable individual...Among the sources provided
- the monash.edu sources are interviews and profiles
- The youtube video does not qualify as a reliable source (basically a debate by a local news channel)
- The pragativadi.com source mentions her in passing
- The artofliving source is a profile/interview
- The wtcbhubaneswar.org source mentions her in passing among the invitees to their program
- The telgraph article also mentions her name in passing
- The natural-cure.org is a listing of all invitees to a workshop along with their educational qualificatons...It cannot be taken as a reliable source as it is not reliable
- The The Kalinga literary fest source is a profile

Thus there are no substantial reliable sources on which an article can be created....Delete — F R ⁺ 07:11, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
