Tagged A7 but claims notability. No sources, and Google was not helpful in finding non-trivial sources. Probably systemic bias, being Indian, but WP:BLP is pretty clear about the need for proper independent sourcing and Wikipedia is not a directory of medal winners or anything else.

• Keep Dutt is representing India at Beijing currently, and was also a member of the Olympic team in 2004; precedent has been to keep Olympic athletes' articles. Found some decent sources: 1 2 3 4. I should note for the record that these are from the first two pages of a Google search that took 0.14 seconds. GlassCobra 21:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:ATHLETE and add sources. I had no trouble finding WP:RS (2008 Olympics and 2006 Asian Games). He represents his country in international competition and he's a verifiable Olympian. • Gene93k (talk) 22:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Like it or not (I don't) every one who has ever been in the Olympics gets an article per WP:ATHLETE. It seems he's a bit more notable than the average one though, to be fair, given his medals in other notable competitions. Cheers, CP 23:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. If the other Olympians are here, what reason is there to single out this one for deletion? (Incidentally, somebody has removed the AFD link from the article; somebody needs to either restore it or speedy-close this debate.) *Dan T.* (talk) 18:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• AfD tag restored. GlassCobra 04:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
