In the article, except for one source from Lallantop, all other sources only mention the name in relation to cheetah hunting. These do not provide significant coverage to meet WP:GNG, WP:BLP, or WP:SIGCOV criteria. Therefore, the article should be deleted. SachinSwami (talk) 08:22, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The page creator has added three sources, but these sources only briefly mention the individual in specific contexts (cheetah extinction and princely state merger) without providing significant coverage of the person’s life, achievements, or background. Therefore, the article does not meet WP:GNG (lacking significant coverage in reliable, independent sources) or WP:BLP (no in-depth, verifiable information for a biography).

  • Keep: Not the best quality, but I think sources present indicate he is notable beyond WP:1E as the ruler of a princely state (arguably an WP:NPOL pass), a participant in the Round Table Conferences, the independence kerfuffle, and the hunting. The Lallantop is currently doing a lot of heavy lifting, but I think there is enough here to surpass WP:NOPAGE. Additionally, I did a cursory search on GBooks specifically excluding the word "cheetah" and found a number of supplementary primary sources which can additionally be used for basic facts to fill in some of the holes. Also, WP:BLP only applies for living or recently deceased people, so does not matter here. Curbon7 (talk) 11:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    More sources likely to exist in Hindi; is there a translation of his name? Curbon7 (talk) 11:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I seem to have figured out that his final name "Deo" can also be translated as "Dev" or "Deva". Searching that pointed me towards this page from the "Directorate of Culture and Archaeology of the Government of Chhattisgarh", which includes his background and stuff he did as ruler (education reforms, etc.). Pulling from the Lallantop article, his name in Hindi seems to be रामानुज प्रताप सिंह देव ; I cannot read Hindi so cannot search for sources in that language very well.

  • Comment: This seems to be a retaliatory nomination, made after I favoured the deletion of the रामचन्द्र विद्यार्थी article on hiwiki, an article where nominator was actively trying to retain. Chronos.Zx (talk) 11:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo was the King of Korea State and clearly meets notability criteria. A simple search on Google Books, Internet Archive, and general web search returns multiple reliable references about him. It appears the nominator did not follow WP:BEFORE, a basic check before AfD nom. Chronos.Zx (talk) 11:58, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I want to clarify that I am not engaging in revenge nomination.
    The first page was not created by me; I only contributed to it. However, I did not insist on keeping it or create any dispute there, and I even replied that it could be deleted if needed, which should have been mentioned here. Additionally, there was another comment in support of keeping that page, but you are making false accusations against me.
    Most importantly, I have made contributions over the past month, and if you wish to bring all of them to AfD for deletion, you may do so as per Wikipedia policies—I will absolutely not participate in supporting them. Make all efforts as you see fit; I have neither any benefit nor loss from this. I have only brought this to AfD as per Wikipedia guidelines.
    I will also leave Wikipedia and will request to vanish tomorrow. SachinSwami (talk) 14:12, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @SachinSwami My heartfelt apologies, brother, if my words hurt you in any way. Chronos.Zx (talk) 15:57, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @SachinSwami I've Strikethrough above comment. Chronos.Zx (talk) 16:00, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
