The result was delete. Not all !votes were explained, and were devalued accordingly.

This person may actually exist but my searches found nothing good at all with the closest and best results here, the first visible result shows a Raja Shyama Sankar Bahadur instead. With this article staying the same with detailed but unsourced and edits sparse, the only hope is for someone familiar to fix this article. Pinging past editors MER-C and Ekabhishek.

Delete. This person might be a notable person but the only sources I can find about him seem to be identical copies of this Wikipedia article. The article can be restored later if good sources can be found to confirm the subject's existence and notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:21, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep : Notable. Roy Bahadur was a title too, could have been subsequent one. One biographical book on him, plus mention in Indian Association history book, the precursor of Indian National Congress. --Ekabhishek^talk 04:48, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The biographical book is from Betascript Publishing, which mostly reprints Wikipedia articles as books, so that shouldn't count toward notability. I haven't had a chance to look up the book about the Indian Association yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:53, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per SwisterTwister and Metropolitan90 - the two keep votes above are simply opinions, with nothing to show how this individual meets notability guidelines. Searches turned up nothing to show the notability of this individual. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:27, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
