:({{Find sources|Sachin Ketkar}})

The subject is a non notable author. Fails WP:BIO with no significant multiple press coverage or from independent reliable sources.he article was tagged for notability and other issue for almost one year with almost no developments except addition of a few self published sources.

Comment - First of all Self Promotion by the author by mentioning all online links blogs and self publishing sources featuring his poetry. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sachinketkar .The same article is inserted here.The article has multiple references from being published from Poetrywala run by Hemant Divate. Hemant Divate's wiki article was created by the author himself.See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hemant_Divate&action=history]. This proves he is well associated with this person and most of his books are self published from PoetryWala which was deleted earlier from wiki after afd [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Poetrywala] and another vanity publication named Sanbun. Other references of New Quest and MS university cannot be accepted as he is affiliated with them. Most of the references are blogs like Danse Macabre, and online publishing of his poetry. No independent coverage is seen. The author seems to be associated with all the references and the people writing the references.The article seems to be a sho of ow many articles and poems he has published online.No third party verifiable claims. Fails WP Notability and WP:BIO.--Diameter (talk) 03:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete Per above. Also fails WP:AUTOBIO because the page was originally a move from Sachinketkar, and Sleepingwithmymuse is potentially a SOCK of Sachinketkar based on the large amount of edits to his article and OBSART. Bkid My talk/Contribs 08:04, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete As Nom.No major awards.No major books(best sellers etc.) from reputed publisher.--Nidhi. mehta333 (talk) 16:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. The external references given are adequate to satisfy verifiability but not notability. As for other sources, I searched Google news archive but only found [http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-06-11/vadodara/28280078_1_journal-maharashtrian-camel this one], which does not cover the subject in any depth and is in any case only one source. So I don't think he passes WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:49, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
