[edit] Sanjay Ghose

Sanjay Ghose (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I investigated this article. Both Google and Yahoo come up with many different articles under this name... all different people. It appears that this is a bit of a common name. The "Background" links lays no mention of the name Sanjay Ghose. There is not one citations and the one reference has nothing to do with Sanjay Ghose. Not only lack of notability, but may even be a hoax.--Pmedema (talk) 19:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep: Unlikely to be a hoax - most of the Google results refer to him, including five results on Google News (and other news e.g. [1]), suggesting most of his notability resulted from him being abducted and murdered by militants, maybe WP:BLP1E but I'm not sure. Also a few results including this one suggest he may have been notable as a result of his achievements, certainly there are quite a few sources. --Snigbrook (talk) 01:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
All the references in this article lay no mention of Sanjay Ghose. The articles you mention may show the person but all the achievements that were indicated have no basis that I can find.--Pmedema (talk) 14:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It's definitely not a hoax. ULFA kidnapped Ghose and reportedly killed him. He is also referred to as "Sanjay Ghosh". See some relevant Google searches here and here. Nishkid64 (talk) 04:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tikiwont (talk) 08:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep as per WP:BLP1E above. Article should focus more on event and reference that in the first section. Sting_au Talk 12:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
