[edit] Anupama Mandavilli

The article is about a volunteer media contact for Friends of South Asia, a San Francisco Bay Area activist organization, not notable except in the context of the organization she works with. Anirvan 18:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Anu Mandavilli or Anupama Mandavilli is widely known world-wide due to her involvement in the Californian Hindu textbook controversy, outside of her organization (University of Southern California). She has been widely mentioned and quoted by numerous news sources.--Cardreader 23:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep In National and international news. --ISKapoor 04:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Minor Activist. Doesn't meet any of the tests for WP:BIO. That pages says, for example, that when it comes to academics, the individual should be "more well known and more published than an average college professor ". For political figures (which seems like the other criteria being suggested) the guideline is "Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature.". --iFaqeer 20:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC) updated --iFaqeer 20:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
