Most of the references are centered around him being a speaker at a delhi litfest 2016 event. Other than that I don't think there are enough sources to establish notability. Daiyusha (talk) 09:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been created many times by sockpuppets of a serial sockmaster, Banghrubai - see its deletion log and the deletion log for Draft:Akash Banerjee. The creator of this article is very clearly the same user, as shown in the SPI. I have tagged the article for speedy deletion G5. --bonadea contributions talk 11:33, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

bonadea SPI is still open, so the G5 is not applicable right now. I have removed G5 and restored AfD tags. --DBigXrayᗙ 12:43, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable author comedian [1] passes GNG. No comments about Sock puppetry, let SPI handle that.--DBigXrayᗙ 12:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could you have a look at the contribs of the creator of that page, he seems to be too desperate for the article to exist, he keeps giving me barnstars requesting me not to delete the page. Daiyusha (talk) 13:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete G5. Persistent sock puppet. A single source also doesn't prove anyone is notable. Praxidicae (talk) 13:23, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I looked about him and he seems to be a well recognized political commentator in India. I found him being mentioned directly or indirectly here, here, here, here and here. THE NEW ImmortalWizard(chat) 13:56, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
