Aditya Nath Jha
Not notable. The page claims this person was a governor of Delhi, which to me doesn't carry with it any automatic notability. There's no Wikipedia page for this person, and only 138 Google results, with Wikiquote as #2 and others appearing to be other people with the same name. —LrdChaos (talk) 16:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete. I'm not getting many Google hits either, though I can at least confirm that an Adity Nath Jha (note the different spelling) was Lieutenant Governor of Delhi from 1966 to 1970. Antiquary 19:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete unless evidence of notability in the English-speaking world is provided and translation is properly sourced. Neither of these should be particularly difficult if this person has this notability, as India has 350 million English users. However, without any trace of an English edition of Padmavibhushan (actually, Padmavibhūshaṇa Śrī Gulazārīlāla Nandā abhinandana-grantha, 1997) on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk, and only the Hindi (?) version available in the U.S. Library of Congress, I am skeptical that this person has attained such notability yet. I would note, however, that there has been some activity on Wikipedia. Aditya Jha was twice speedy-deleted, first for copyvio in August, then after an uncontested "prod" in October, and there is a September 2006 image (probably leftover from the article) that suggests this person may be gaining some recent notoriety. If only our editors would actually cite evidence and sources! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
