[edit] Taran Adarsh

nnbio; his claim to fame is that he is an online columnist and reviewer of Bollywood films. A google search gives 30,100 hits as his reviews are on popular websites that get picked up by the blogger communities. However, note that not a single hit on Google (atleast not in the first 20) has any information on him. Looks like he is also either liked passionately or disliked intensely by a lot by people influenced by his reviews - article has become a vandalism magent of late Gurubrahma 12:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I feel he is notable. I did a quick google. I found lot of blogs link to his reviews and relate to what he said on Indiafm. Like you said, I did see a lot of dislike towards him. But vandalism should not be a reason a page gets deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ganeshk (talk • contribs).
• Keep Extremely notable if the facts stated are correct and the nominator isn't disputing them. CalJW 14:48, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - The point is, we don't have even a single bit of information about him apart from the fact that he writes for indiafm.com. Is it notable by itself?? Just as we shouldn't vote delete due to a low google count, similarly we shouldn't vote keep due to a high google count. I am all for a keep vote if - his notability is established; and we can get access to some biographical data abt him. --Gurubrahma 14:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment : Is the Lions Award that he won with Shahrukh etc famous ? Tintin Talk 15:15, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• I haven't heard of this award before. I don't think these are famous. btw, "Lion awards" alone gives lots of google hits - most of them refering to the Cannes' lions. --Gurubrahma 16:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• With all due respect, appears to be a vanity material. Sorry, but agree with User:Gurubrahma on the nnbio point. --ΜιĿːtalk 17:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: not notable, at least now, to command an entry here. Such contents are veiled advertisement. --Bhadani 08:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems notable. This does need major clean up, NPOV and better references.Obina 22:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
