• :----These references clearly demonstrate both the coverage and influence of Vijay Nahar’s work. While the Wikipedia article might benefit from improvements in structure, formatting, and inline citations, the subject himself meets Wikipedia's notability threshold. Therefore, the article should be improved, not dele Gujjar.rudraa (talk) 19:52, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
• ::Almost all sources are not about this subject. Some are about maharana Pratap, or other are about modi or vasundra raje, also the #2 TOI article is a reliable source but that talks more about the book written by him. And please remind that online listing of books for purchase like Amazon doesn’t confer notability. TheSlumPanda (talk) 04:30, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
• :::Vijay Nahar is an Indian author and historian known for his biographical and historical works on notable Indian political figures and Rajput kings. His book Swarnim Bharat ke Swapndrishtha Narendra Modi has been referenced in multiple media outlets, including The Sunday Guardian, for its early commentary on Narendra Modi’s developmental vision and personal life aspects, including his marriage, which was highlighted during political discourse ([https://sundayguardianlive.com/top-five/during-modi-3-0-swarnim-bharat-is-the-target The Sunday Guardian], [https://www.amarujala.com/rajasthan/vijay-nahar-book-on-modi-and-jasodaben Amar Ujala]).
• :::Nahar’s biography of Vasundhara Raje, Vasundhara Raje aur Viksit Rajasthan, is among the first dedicated publications on her political career and is noted in news profiles ([https://www.jansatta.com/elections/rajasthan-assembly-election-2023-bjp-candidate-vasundhara-raje-profile/3066195/ Jansatta]). His contributions to historical research include books on Samrat Bhoj Parmar, Mihir Bhoj, and Rao Akheraj Songara, which have been cited in literary platforms such as Sahitya Kunj and Sahitya Nama, and are among the few comprehensive modern works available on these historical figures ([https://sahityakunj.net//entries/view/samraat-bhoj-parmar-sameeksha Sahitya Kunj], [https://udaipurkiran.in/book-review-pali-naresh-akheraj-songara/ Udaipur Kiran]).
• :::In the context of Maharana Pratap, Nahar's writings have been used in regional discourse to support the view that Pratap was born in Pali, Rajasthan—challenging the traditionally cited location of Kumbhalgarh attributed to Colonel Tod ([https://www.bhaskar.com/rajasthan/pali/news/rajasthan-news-pali-historian-nahar-got-bhandari-honors-in-udaipur-094005-4844659.html Bhaskar], [https://www.samvad.in/Encyc/2022/1/19/It-s-a-lie-that-ate-loaves-of-grass.html Samvad]). His contributions have also been recognized through awards and coverage in local media outlets, emphasizing his role in historical interpretation and education.
• :::While online listings like Amazon do not independently confer notability, they help identify the range and accessibility of his publications. Furthermore, his books have been featured in school libraries in Rajasthan, according to a report by The Times of India ([https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/biographies-of-pm-narendra-modi-rss-men-in-rajasthan-school-libraries-now/articleshow/58993716.cms TOI]).

• ::::His book on narendra modi got media coverage like [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/biographies-of-pm-narendra-modi-rss-men-in-rajasthan-school-libraries-now/articleshow/58993716.cms 1], [https://www.amarujala.com/rajasthan/vijay-nahar-book-on-modi-and-jasodaben?pageId=1 2]. While the sunday guardian have only passing mention at last which is not enough. But if we talk about notability of this subject them i am still inclined toward deletion because of lack of Significant coverage about him in independent sources rather than sticking only on his modi book.TheSlumPanda (talk) 05:18, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
