"I came across this when I was cleaning up a mess of vanity edits relating to one Thakur Sher Singh Parmar (now deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thakur Sher Singh Parmar). This article appears to be WP:OR mixed with unverifiable confused synopses of what several people supposedly said about Indian geostrategic options. The only source is a haphazard reference to one newspaper article apparently not about the subject. The subject matter is probably well covered at Foreign relations of India and related articles."

3. Strong Delete - "Thanks for the clarification; I can now comfortably move my input from weak to strong delete. I have requested more information, asked relevant questions, suggested room for improvement and have not received any answers other than POV. If my questions were answered (perhaps the most important being one I posted here [3]), I would gladly help you clean up the article in hopes of it surviving the AfD process. If there is no material published regarding this person in a book with an ISBN or a journal with an ISSN, then ... he is probably not noteworthy and doesn't deserve an article in WP. If you have the ISBN or ISSN, then please share it so I can verify it with my own resources. Another piece of information that would be helpful, since I've heard this is such a prestigious award, is a verifiable source listing of all the other winners of Dr. Manibhai Desai Rashtraseva Puraskar's award, before and after Thakur Sher Singh Parmar's receipt."

4. The result was delete for, most notably, lack of reliable sources. If anyone wants to BJAODN part of the hilarious content, it's available on request."

5. "Thanks for the email addresses to the University of Pune; I found plenty on my own and will consider these if my first choices do not pan out. What I really want is an ISBN to the economic geography book written by our gentleman of interest that is reported as being so popular. Might you have that and be willing to share? The other thing that would be nice is if the University would fix the link to their library off of their home page. If I could do a search in the library's catalog, I would be all set ... I am doing quite complete checking for this AfD ... and am not finding much convincing material. There's time, and I'm relatively patient. :-) Regards,".

If Yes, then how many copies does it have? IF THE CLAIM THAT THIS BOOK IS VERY POPULAR IN AND AROUND PUNE are true then this book should also be available in these management colleges of Pune. Same questions should be asked to all departments of geography in Pune." Patrolla 14:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
7. Comment - "I don't doubt that the book exists, and I don't doubt that there are many copies of it. However, if with my research and communication skills, I cannot find any reference to the book, and no-one can give me a citation that points to a published book, then, I am not convinced that we need an article on Parmar at this time. Even if the article is deleted, we can continue to work on this ... I have a colleague who has family in India ... maybe, just maybe, I'll involve him if he expresses interest. Kind (and patient) Regards,"

8. "Wikipedia readers (or AfD checkers) shouldn't have to be writing to colleges to find out if someone or their book exists, but should be quoted reliable sources by the article's writers, whose responsibility it is to do that. Whether the guy or his books exists or not isn't the point. The Wikipedia policy is "verifiability, not truth". (That doesn't mean verifiability of whether the person exists, by the way. The requirement is made explicit in the proposed policy Wikipedia:Attribution: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is whether material is attributable to a reputable published source, not whether it is true".)"
