[edit] Niranjan Parihar

Niranjan Parihar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Little known journalist/editor who doesn't meet WP:BIO[1][2]. The article was earlier created by User:Niranjanparihar and was deleted as expired PROD. Now, it has been re-created by a single-purpose account, User:Siktasingh. utcursch | talk 07:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I did a detailed English-language Google search and found fewer than 12 references to this name in the field of journalism/news -- three from people claiming that they know this "renowned" individual. I admit that he might be working entirely outside of English-language publications but I've had experience with similar searches and I can usually find more references than this to a truly notable person. Also, in databases where I would expect to find his name multiple times as an author, it showed up once only for a single article. On the balance of probabilities, I suggest this person doesn't meet WP:BIO and WP:Verifiable. Accounting4Taste 20:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Google News India search above. If he's such a noted commentator, why didn't he show up there?--SarekOfVulcan 00:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -- Not heard of him either. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

  Comment "never heard of him" is _not_ a reason for deletion.--SarekOfVulcan 16:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

  Valid point. But for a person of his notability, I haven't seen any reports of him on any of news channels mentioned. Plus I googled up his name in Hindi with different spelling combinations (निरन्जन परिहर -- one spelling version) and got no reliable match too) 16:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nichalp (talk • contribs)
