Removed sentence

This following was the last sentence in the fifth paragraph. I am not sure what it meant to say because of a typo. Whoever knows the subject can add it so that it reads better.

She on her part established Mahila Charkha Samiti in Patna to invove women in spinning wheel.

Oh, well this would be about Gandhi's movement to achieve economic self-sufficiency in textiles through local homespun cloth. So there were these huge organized campaigns to get people, high and low, old and young, to spin cloth. What was the typo? (Apart from the omission of the word "the", which is a standard practice in Indian English.) QuartierLatin 1968 16:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Her nephew, the "celebrated scientist"

In this edit, Delhite adds: One of her great nephews is Ashoka Jahnavi-Prasad the celebrated scientist.

Obvious questions:

What's the source for this claim?
What is AJP celebrated for?
If he's celebrated, why doesn't he have an article?

+ The answer to the second question is rather unclear. The best investigation so far will be found at AfD/Ashoka Jahnavi-Prasad, followed by its "Deletion Review". The closing administrator's summary for the Review starts Keep deleted. It seems clear from the discussion below that the article as the basic biography does not address notability concerns to surpass CSD G4.

There is no clear reason to believe that Ashoka Jahnavi-Prasad is celebrated for anything, and this is the simple reason why he doesn't have an article. (Another reason will be apparent to people who read the AfD and the Review.)

Thus en:WP regards him as non-notable. And therefore even if he verifiably is related to somebody who gets an article, this fact is not notable and should not be added. -- Hoary (talk) 07:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
