  • Delete. Fails WP:N. Poorly written page and the sources have no significant coverage about the subject. No particulars about background, early life and education in any source. One source is an unreliable blog, second has him shown as member of faculty and third shows bare image url. The subject is known to be a popular science writer but only in Institute of Philosophy of nature where he is an executive secretary. Reliable sources have to be independent, free of influence.

    Mayadhar Swain has one of the nationally acclaimed writer for popularisation of science and technology,recently awarded by Govt of India,in addition to several awards.He has contributed more than 70 books and hundreds of scholarly articles and newspapers for several years.He is presently editor of Science Horizon,published by Odisha Bigyan Academy.His contributions are original and highly laudable.Article on him deserves very much.His works and enviable merit of his contributions have not been considered.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I fully agree.The overwhelming merit and scholarship of his books and articles have been widely acknowledged.Article on him is very much worthy.His works are in public sphere.Reasons for deletion will amount to travesty of justice to noted original writer and apparently not tenable.

@JAMKUM, if you want this article to be kept, you're going to have to show some good sources. See WP:RS. -- asilvering (talk) 20:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mayadhar Swain a very popular science writer of Odisha for last three decades.His books and articles are of great scholarship and originality.It should be expanded further highlighting his works.It should not be deleted at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.222.186.29 (talk) 11:37, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. Those editors advocating Keep would be advised to offer some reliable sourcing that could be used in the article instead of just making claims. I think there is enough objection to this deletion proposal that Soft Deletion is not an option here.

  • Delete: Nothing meeting WP:NBIO in the article, google search doesn't show anything useful. Unconvinced by those arguing keep, since no sources are provided. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 12:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
