A homoeopath and Hindi writer who translated books from Sanskrit. The article talks mostly about his personal life, and its single reference is a website that makes no mention of him. I've only been able to verify that he is a registered homoeopath (as of 2013) [1]. I don't see any trace of his literary activities. A search for Adya Prasad Chaturvedi returns no results on google news or google books. A normal google search returns five pages of results, which are either wikipedia mirrors or pages about other people with this name. No google results for what I presume is the Hindi spelling आद्य प्रसाद चतुर्वेदी: [2][3][4]. The article claims his penname is Jay Gurudev but I haven't searched for it as it's way too generic.

• Note Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but the article was created, reviewed and edited by socks of a single user, who was recently banned for using multiple accounts to circumvent WP:NPP. So it's very likely the article's creator wasn't himself convinced the subject would pass our notability guidelines. Uanfala (talk) 21:35, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

• Comment I've also tried a search for his pen name Jai Gurudev but the results are swamped with hits about Jai Gurudev, a different person. Trying a more specific search in Hindi for his name (either real or penname) and either of the names of his two poems given in the article returns 9 results [5], none of which have any relevance at all. Now, it's certainly odd for such an eminent contemporary writer (as the article claims) to have left no online trace whatsoever of his works. Uanfala (talk) 07:52, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
• Delete Article fails to establish notability of subject. It's single source is in Hindi and I cannot evaluate its merit. A Google search mostly reveals mirrors or unrelated subjects. Finally, some of the phrasing in this article ("commanded great respect", "famous") sounds more promotional than informative and these phrases are completely unsourced.

• Delete Not notable. Undertaking translations on the side and poetry writing is a popular pastime in India. If Wikipedia added everyone who did it, its pages would double. Engleham (talk) 11:20, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
