Claimed spouse (not proven as actual spouse) of a notable person, one interview that parrots the claim and one op-ed piece are all the RS. Eitherways, the spouse status isn't sufficient grounds for notability in and off itself, BLP1E applies. —SpacemanSpiff 13:31, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question is based on news articles published by reliable media houses like Frontline/Hindu and OPEN magazine: the credibility of both media houses is not in question.

The article refers not just to Jashodaben but also covers substantially other people like her colleagues and family members and also references marriage records. The Jashodaben case has been covered extensively in the media and there should be no doubt as to the authenticity of the article.

• Delete non-notable person. Being an "alleged" spouse of a notable politician doesn't confer notability on the subject. The mainstream coverage that exists now is enough for a couple of line inclusion in the Narendra Modi article.--Sodabottle (talk) 13:45, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Jashodaben is not the alleged but the real spouse as proven by the marriage records available. removal of article or references to Jashodaben would be blanking out content Ashlonerider (talk) 14:07, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete a 'claim' of being a spouse of a notable person is insufficient for notability. --rgpk (comment) 15:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Notability is not inherited; can't see any evidences of independent notability. Salih (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:COPYVIO from [1]. The two sources (one of which is a very reliable one) can be used to generate a paragraphs worth of content in the Narendra Modi article. Zuggernaut (talk) 15:48, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as it looks like mere political propaganda, the source articles in question are very old and around the same time, probably touted by opponents. No proof exists.

Moreover all of Ashloneriders contributions to wikipedia look politically motivated, see his contris. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerthat14 (talk • contribs) 13:13, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
