redirect to Feluda. Part of a long-running series with a very distinguished creator, Satyajit Ray, but as far as I can tell not notable in itself (children's books in a long running series are rarely independently notable), and the shortness of the article means there's almost nothing worth saving. However I would defer to people with expertise in Indian languages. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It is unfortunate that we don't have good digital on it, but, it is a notable book! This is one of 28 Feluda stories written by Ray. Notable Bengali publishers Ananda Publishers has covered articles on this book. In this book, we find Feluda, the Bengali investigator, goes to Baker Street, and paying tribute to Sherlock Holmesguru tumi chhile bolei amra achhi, which is widely quoted. --Tito Dutta (contact) 18:26, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Feluda. The series as a whole is notable, but there really isn't anything out there to show that this book has notability outside of the series to merit its own article at this point in time. The thing about books in series (regardless of length) is that we need to have coverage that specifically focuses on this book. I found one trivial mention in relation to the series as a whole, ([1]) but nothing that specifically focuses on this book and provides in-depth coverage.

You don't know! You'll not find anything in world wide web. It is always difficult to deal with such Indian AFDs, you need to go to 2-3 libraries, read a bunch of books, scan some documents to prove notability! --Tito Dutta (contact) 08:08, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If someone goes to a library and finds sources, they can re-create the article. But it's not really enough to suspect that sources exist in order to save an article, you need to prove it. And what is really lost if this incredibly short article is turned into a redirect? --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:42, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Titodutta brings up a good point; an inevitable system bias will arise when we reason "I can't find anything about this Indian AfD, and I've never heard of it, therefore it can't be important." And we should be sensitive to that. However, Titodutta's reference to the Sherlock Holmes quote can be covered in the Feluda article (and it's not even mentioned in the Londone Feluda article). If that's the only thing that would make the book memorable to people who have not read the series, I'm afraid that just isn't enough. Even the Bengali wikipedia only has one sentence about it, if I have the right page: [Benagali Londone Feluda page]. Listmeister (talk) 14:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
