Not notable – he's mentioned as an author when others use his works as references, but that's all I could find.

Delete: WP:TNT. Meets WP:NAUTHOR and WP:ANYBIO though (25 works in 42 publications in 2 languages and 242 library holdings + many notable awards). Anup [Talk] 23:05, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Subject of this apparent autobiography does not meet WP:ACADEMIC. Of the four sources in the article, two are primary. I see no evidence of "notable awards", and IMO the subject does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:AUTHOR. Miniapolis 20:08, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At least Odisha Sahitya Academy Award [1] & Atibadi Jagannath Das award [2] seem notable. More coverage should be in Odia language sources. Anup [Talk] 22:35, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nothing for WP:AUTHOR since there are no major publications and books and then nothing for WP:PROF, nothing else convincing. SwisterTwister talk 04:23, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:PROMO with a good dose of WP:TNT. Nothing to salvage here. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:01, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Low citation counts and minor awards (best seems to be Atibadi Jagannath Das award which at least has its own article) don't add up to notability. And the article is a mess of unsourced detail so WP:TNT is in play as well. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:07, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
