Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kirin Narayan

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. With the nom blocked as a sock and no other "delete" !votes but several "keep" !votes from established editors I see no reason to keep this open any longer. Randykitty (talk) 10:41, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the subject fails as per WP:GNG. Scholar911 (talk) 11:14, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry @Scholar911, can you please explain your comment re GNG? This article's subject is an author of multiple published works that have been discussed in the New York Times and the New Yorker, covered in at least three reference works on relevant authors, all of which appear to be reliable sources and cited in the article. What part of GNG do you think is not met here? hamiltonstone (talk) 13:31, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would only add that her work has been recognized by recognized organizations and publications independent of the author. GNG does not appear to be valid criteria for deletion here. --Big_iron (talk) 14:43, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log page. Fixed now--I have no opinion on the nomination itself at this time. @Scholar911: For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. Thank you. --Finngall ^talk 14:56, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article mentions two prizes for Narayan's work, including the first Victor Turner Prize in 1990. She was also a Guggenheim Fellow. Taken together, that's already enough to satisfy WP:PROF#C1. Nsk92 (talk) 21:44, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Many published book reviews; as XOR'easter states, she easily passes WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:24, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:Prof#C1. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC).[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:Prof#C1 and WP:Prof#C2 via Turner Prise and Guggenheim Fellowship. Their work has been written about in RS: New York Times and New Yorker. Netherzone (talk) 01:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, i was surprised seeing an article created by Big iron here at afd, even more surprised on looking at the created version (small but no notability alarms ringing), anyway, i am going to play in the snow with all the other editors above, saying keep as meeting WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR with the recent article improvements showing this even more.
