The result was delete. No evidence of notability has been provided by the "Keep" commenters - "there's stuff on Google" simply isn't helpful. Reliable sources need to be identified. Black Kite (talk) 21:54, 23 September 2014 (UTC) reply

From what I can tell it is a local news person for a news station. Wgolf ( talk) 06:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete No notability.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 18:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep - A simple Google Search is giving sufficient results to prove notability. CutestPenguin ^Hangout 16:27, 9 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Keep as there's also plenty of coverage in Google News. – Davey2010 • (talk) 02:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• -Comment-well the article made me think it was just some local news coverage was the thing, also sometimes it is hard finding people from India on Google you know. Wgolf ( talk) 02:49, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• It's not that hard Wgolf... – Davey2010 • (talk) 20:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete - I perhaps should've looked at what I linked more closely as as Dusti pointed out they're all from one website .... Anyway not much evidence of notability beyond one minor website. – Davey2010 • (talk) 04:21, 23 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep I can see significant coverage in reliable sources. Passes notabillity. Remember Wgolf, Google news not totally index Indian online news sites, so don't depend on Google news when the subject is from India. Jim Carter (from public cyber) 20:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply
• Comment-yeah I know I was replying to the comment on how a simple google search works. Wgolf ( talk) 20:06, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Hmm. I also wonder why Dwaipayanc still thinks that Ekta Batra is still not notable?? This should be closed as SK #1 if Dwaipayan judge the article again. Jim Carter (from public cyber) 20:15, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply

P. S. - A normal close as "keep" will also do the work since the Afd is more than 7 days old and rough consensus has also been reached. Jim Carter (from public cyber) 20:20, 16 September 2014 (UTC) reply

still delete. The Google and Google news hits merely mention her name as the host of some news programs. She is not the subject of independent articles. I don't see any significant awards either. Those gogle hits do not prove notability.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 17:34, 18 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete Unfortunately I'm going to have to side with @ Dwaipayan: here. Using the news search that Davey2010 showed, I originally thought that it was a quick "Keep", however, they're all from a single source. This shows a more accurate view.
