:*Please link to specific books (not those which are authored by him but those which significantly covers him) and specific news-pieces. Neither does a trip to jail confer notability nor does being covered in footnotes. ∯WBG^converse 15:27, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

::*:The first link is to a book by a non-reputed publisher but by a qualified/acclaimed author; so reliable. But, that's a textbook-trivial mention and do not count towards notability.

::*:

::*:Lack of WP:SIGCOV over R. Guha's acclaimed work.

::*:

::*:Mention of one of the subject's volumes over an extended bibliography is again textbook-trivial.

::*:

::*:Same for mention over back-cover, over a book, whose reliability, I can't ascertain at any case.

::*:

::*:Please provide multiple instances of significant coverage of Dharampal or his works, as necessitated by GNG.
