[edit] Harjinder Singh Khurana

Harjinder Singh Khurana (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is about a man in jail in India. I found it last week, full of original resaerch by synthesis about Indian anti-dowry law. The subject of the biography is himself not notable enough for a wikipedia article as per WP:N. There are two brief articles about this case in Indian newspapers, no books, no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.

In wikipedia's terms there is no assertion of importance/significance and no significant coverage of the subject (WP:N). And as far as I can see this article fails WP:BIO's guide for notability.

As a declaration I must note that I have made significant changes to the page - removing a link farm to sites campaigning against Indian ant-dowry law (that have nothing to do with the article and therefore violate WP:EL). I also reorganized and referenced the page. Two sections about Indian dowry law which had nothing to do with this man or his case were removed - most of that info already is in place at Dowry law in India. This diff shows the page before my alterations [1] and this after them [2].

Unless or until there are secondary sources covering Harjinder Singh Khurana's life or case this article is just not notable enough for wikipedia.--Cailil ^talk 16:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as NN. The number of Google hits - 5850 - appeared to suggest notability, but the figure is inflated by www.onlypunjab.com, which has the same news summary on thousands of pages. Gordonofcartoon 00:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
