:Could you please cite an English language source for that from a reliable source? Otherwise, I go with delete. X.One ^SOS 05:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

:: Comment For the record, sources do not need to be in English. It helps, because this is the English language Wikipedia and those who will be verifying the facts are likely to be English speakers, but it is not a hard requirement. That being said, and with the caveat that I do not speak Marathi, nor is there a convenient translation mechanism for the language, the last reference provided by the IP user appears to be a year-by-year list of winners of some award, with little other information. This would not constituted significant coverage even if I could understand it. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:38, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
