The result was speedy keep. Certainly per WP:SKCRIT #3, hopefully, of course, not #4 also. But perhaps Bbb23, BU Rob13 (for example) could give a second opinion upon that likelihood. (non-admin closure) >SerialNumber54129^{...speculates} 14:36, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - added for AfD by single purpose account. First ever edit. Suspicious. Anyway clearly notable and within WP:GNG. Article is in good shape overall with good references. The fact that most references stems from after his death is really irrelevant.BabbaQ (talk) 23:00, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Agree with Gene93k. Third party references provided satisfies WP:GNG. Hagennos (talk) 05:02, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I am going to be generous and assume that this nomination is an error on the part of the nominator rather than an act of bad faith, but sources clearly demonstrate that this person meets the WP:GNG. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:19, 14 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Keep: The nominator says that all of the sources talk about the writer's death. Here are a few sources that provide significant coverage of the subject during his lifetime.

The first of these article was published when the subject's name was chosen for the Bharat Bharti Samman. Would a non-notable writer be chosen for this award? Meets WP:GNG. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
