Contested PROD for the author of a fairly obscure book. Only other claim to fame for the article subject is that she is the great-granddaughter of a famous person (Mahatma Gandhi). As notability is not inherited, the familial claim does not provide any justification for this article. The article's sources provide only passing mentions to the article subject but lack the level of detail needed to establish WP:Notability. The article's sources even help illustrate the obscurity of its subject by including a source that provides a list of the Gandhi's descendents but which fails to mention the article subject ([1]). --Allen3 talk 22:22, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. If the book had generated enough interest to have its own article here, I would have recommended a redirect to that article. But there is no such article. Either way, the subject doesn't come close to meeting WP:NAUTHOR. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:34, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as nothing at all insinuating the needed independent notability and searches have found nothing better. SwisterTwister talk 18:12, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
