I cannot find anything other than Wikipedia mirrors. A search here also comes up with nothing. You'd think they'd have a telephone number if nothing else. The only other mention I've come across is this slide show (slide 26). Could they have simply taken that from this article? Also suspicious is the original revision, which makes unlikely assertions; delivery of any book you may want? Adam9007 ( talk) 00:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: It is pretty suspicious that there's no mention of this anywhere except in Wikipedia mirrors. I agree that the slide show was likely based on information pulled from Wikipedia. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Amartya is a person's name and not a location so this article may just be referring to someone's private library. A search for "Amartya library" brings up nothing and a search for Amartya South Delhi (without quotation marks) predominantly brings up information for Amartya Sen, an individual person. Further searches for Amartya South Delhi library also brings up nothing to substantiate that this library exists. I'm leaning towards this being a hoax in that I don't see where this is a library in the traditional, non-personal sense. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:29, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- There is a chance that there are foreign language sources, but I largely doubt it since we'd get something with an English language search to back up that there's a library by this name and I'm finding nothing. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:30, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah... the original version of the page gives off the strong impression that it's either about a personal library or it's a joke page. I'll go ahead and delete this as A7 and G3 if you want, for the above reasons. If anyone really contests it or can show that it actually exists outside of someone's private library I'll re-open this, but at best this looks like a joke page someone made for themselves or a friend.
