Previous AfD lacked any participation and also lacked a proper deletion rationale, therefore I am renominating it on the basis that this subject fails WP:GNG, WP:NBOOK and the subject violates WP:FRINGE. Bharatiya29 10:53, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Few details about a non-notable author does not actually help. Subject still fails WP:NBOOK. Aman.kumar.goel (talk) 16:11, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some new references has been added, check it out. Going to add more. The book is highly notable: It is the most used, most renowned, most quoted and most controversial book about hindu-muslim unity in India, the book and its trilogy is recognised the highestly used reference about scriptural similarity between hindus and muslims, also the writer, he is one of the high-profile leading indian public scholar and educator of sanskrit language. But trying to show it as not notable is a religius sectarian attempt of indian wiki users. If there is disagreement with the title,then I propose to change myself the title as "Muhammad and hindu scriptures" like Muhammad and the Bible article, and then I will rewrite the article with additional references with other related biblical sources.
