Not a notable journalist to be in Wikipedia. No such independent and reliable citations. Moreover, the veteran journalist Kumud Das' (This-> https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Kumud-Das-479222214.cms) name similarates with this Wiki person - hence, I appeal for a thorough investigation. - NeverTry4Me - TT page 06:34, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Journalists are hard to evaluate. But like any other one in WP:CREATIVE, their work needs to be discussed. If we can find critical reception of their published work, this can take a 180 degree turn. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 02:12, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep - there is critical attention sourced in the article, e.g. Kumud Das honoured with Sangbad Prahari (Stellar News) that describes his career, including books he has written and a previous award the New Indian Express reports as "best human interest story" in electronic media. I also found the link to the Sentinel article about a third award (the one in the article is incorrect). My !vote is a weak keep because these sources indicate WP:BASIC notability for his career and secondary source recognition, but I have not been able to find additional sources.

• Delete as the article fails to meet the WP:GNG guideline. If the journalist was notable and had a lot of significant coverage, then it would meet the guideline but it does not. Only create articles that are about journalists if they are notable and meet the guideline like I said before. --Vaco98 (talk) 22:04, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: as per nom. and others. - Hatchens (talk) 04:01, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
