Matharu does not appear to have garnered significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, and therefore fails to satisfy the biographical and general notability guidelines. Please see the attached source assessment table. Much of the article is not supported by the citations provided and appears to be written like a curriculum vitae.

- Delete we lack enough reliable, indepdent secondary sources to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:08, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - per the list above, there is not enough significant coverage in reliable sources. The essay would have to be re-written extensively; for example, every mention of his first name would have to be changed to his last name according to our style, and new sources would have to be found and added, while trivia excised.
