Reconceptualizing India Studies

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

At first blush, this article seems well-referenced with enough sources to justify the notability of its subject. Verifying the references, however, reveals that they don't establish notability. Several discuss the subject of the book and not the book itself. Others are about the author, and a few are the author's work surrounding the book (a lecture explaining the book, for example). The subject, as far as I can tell, fails WP:NBOOK. Mikeblas (talk) 13:08, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—I'll continue working on this later. Most of the citations are to unreliable sources and need to be removed, but I've found at least one review not in the current article that has me leaning toward keep. Should know one way or the other in 24 hours or so. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 18:49, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep—I've removed several of the marginal sources. What remains is sufficient to establish notability, particularly the review in The Hindu and the several academic talks given on the work. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 09:58, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
