Nattal Sahu

The article asserts that it's subject is a "merchant-prince". Such an individual should be notable enough to have more than 28 google hits [1], most of them originating from wikipedia and mirror sites. Just being mentioned in a book doesn't make an individual notable. The Journal, whose text can be viewed at http://www.jstor.org/pss/604073, refers Nattal Sahu as the patron who commissioned Parshvanath Charitra, but thats the only instance where Nattal sahu is referred. Here, WP:ONEEVENT applies. If the subject is a historically important merchant-prince, there must be more references to him in Indian history. The references given include a dead web link, Also "Agrawalon ka Jain sanskriti men yogadan" just gets 4 google hits owing to wikipedia. [2] --Redtigerxyz (talk) 16:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Seems to be a propaganda article, which mainly tries to establish that some pillars of Qutab Minar were reused from some earlier temple. References do not look reliable/unbiased. --GDibyendu (talk) 18:16, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Keep:Subject is notable. Variety of references improved. --GDibyendu (talk) 10:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The references are from research journals. "Agrawalon ka Jain sanskriti men yogadan" is the title of a research article, "Anekanta" is the name of the journal. There are several other texts that refer to Nattal Sahu. I can add them.--Malaiya (talk) 01:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added references to four books that refer to Nattal Sahu, including the four volume "Tirthankar Mahavir aur unki Acharya Parampara".--Malaiya (talk) 01:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The dead web link was included inappropriately by someone, I have removed it.--Malaiya (talk) 01:46, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have also addd a Univ of Penn PhD dissertation as a citation.--Malaiya (talk) 01:54, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, of course. I am satisfied by the new research provided to the article! (Ekabhishek (talk) 08:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Dear friends, Jay Jinendra

I do not see why the page on Nattal Sahu should be deleted. He is a historically significant person and has had a book written about him! He is linked not only with Jain history in Northern India, but also plays an important role in the subaltern history of India.
