as examples among recently created articles that are notable. The subject is author of at least four published books. They have been substantially discussed by among others Edwin Bryant, Hans Hock, Girilal Jain, N.S. Rajaram, K. Elst, Michael Witzel, Arnaud Fournet, and Vaclav Blažek. Also in the subject he is writing about he made some unique contributions. A major work in the subject area Talageri is writing about is the book by Bryant & Patton which included a paper by Talageri. Pratap was already criticized for the hounding against me and Rupert, by for example going through dozens of articles edited by me or User:Rupert loup and making spurious claims, for harassing, for hounding, for stalking, and for not being WQ:CIVIL.
 * Keep. Subject is notable and easily meets Wikiquote notability. Prataps unproven claims for deletion are unsourced and false claims. The subject has a directly related article on wikipedia on one of his books. There are many wikiquote articles that don't have wikipedia articles (this one has a directly related one), but are notable such as:
 * Nissim Mannathukkaren
 * Sujatha Fernandes
 * Rajendran Narayanan
 * Mekhala Krishnamurthy
 * Charity Troyer Moore
 * Simone Schaner
 * Kanai Lal Hazra
 * Lars Fogelin

Rupert loup already told Pratap many times:
 * This is hounding, you should stop stalking and making baseless accusations. WQ:CIVIL and WQ:WQT.

 * Passing mentions dont count as significant coverage. The subject lacks significant coverage in independent reliable media. See Ad Hominem --Pratap Pandit (talk) 13:58, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * A 23,500+ words review in a journal by Harvard professor is "passing mention"? Just for one of the examples. If you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't nominate for deletion. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 15:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Considering there are several quotes not only from the person but about the person, I'd have to go for a slight keep in this intance. This is quite a quality article. dibbydib ⌐■_■ ( barate me ) 00:48, 27 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not notable, all pages you cited as an example of "notable" subject articles have been created very recently (April-May 2020). --Xsaorapa (talk) 14:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC) I withdraw my vote --Xsaorapa (talk) 21:42, 1 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Note: It was confirmed that Xsaorapa was using a sock SPA to give meatpuppet instructions to Pratap Pandit. The abusive sockpuppetry was confirmed by a steward. Since it was confirmed that Pratap acted as a meatpuppet under the instructions of Xsaorapa, it appears that this VfD was part of the meatpuppet instructions Xsaorapa gave to Pratap. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 19:02, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
