Does not seem to meet notability requirements (WP:BIO, WP:GNG). The first reference (indoscopy) doesn't look like a mainstream published source and many not be RS. The second is OK, but I don't think it's enough. Searching [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Kautilya+Pandit&num=20&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ei=HW3qUof_DuOu7AbXsYCYBg&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAw&biw=1696&bih=785] doesn't show anything else much, apart from copies of the same 1-off comment piece. Also I think WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE should err on the side of caution when it comes to children. 2.123.67.6 (talk) 15:27, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

*Delete I've removed the "first source" mentioned above because it was Blogger-hosted content. Worse, it was merely repeating what the news sources said. Worse still, the news sources are merely repeating what each other say, almost akin to a press release (although one does say his IQ might be 150 whereas another says it might be 130). The family are seeking donations and that seems to be the impetus behind all this. If he really is a notable child prodigy then he'll do something notable over an extended period of time, not just as a one-day news effort. The article can always be recreated if that is shown at some point in the future. Having a Wikipedia article on a 5-year old one-hit wonder is a lot of pressure to put on a kid. So, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:GNG, WP:PROMO, WP:RS ... I could go on. - Sitush (talk) 12:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - changed from delete to keep. I'm weak on it but take on board the comments below. - Sitush (talk) 03:13, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
• Weak keep His "memory power" has made him well known in North India and his interaction with film actor Amitabh Bachchan in KBC show has made him popular, but after that first burst of activities, the boy seems become silent. Now, the article is re-organised, less puffery and with due respects to User:Sitush, problems about WP:RS,WP:Promo are now attended. But it may not pass WP:NOTNEWS and even then I feel the topic/article merits a weak keep. And of course, it may put pressure on the boy, which pressure he already sustained with numerous TV shows aired in India, just to display his "memory power"! - Rayabhari (talk) 10:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep The newly added sources seem to meet RS and GNG. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

:Addendum to my last comment. The article still needs a lot of work and I think is still way too promotional. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:32, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
