== Notability rationale ==

This draft aims to establish notability under '''WP:GNG''' through multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources that provide significant coverage of the subject.

'''Major coverage in reliable outlets:'''

* ''The Telegraph India'' (national daily) published a full feature profiling Lahiri, describing his work as “rewriting how fans engage with the game’s history.”
* ''Shepherd Express'' (United States newspaper) ran a full profile and follow-up podcast segment, calling Forgotten Cricket Memories “an archive preserving cricket’s global legacy” and highlighting Lahiri’s efforts to connect cricket history to American audiences.
* ''ThePrint'' cited Lahiri directly as a historian in a feature on Delhi’s Roshanara Club, birthplace of the BCCI.
* ''Ei Samay'' (Times Group, Bengali daily) published an editorial based on Lahiri’s reporting, crediting him by name beneath the headline.
* ''Dallas Asian American Historical Society'' and ''Los Angeles Cricket'' both published independent features drawing on his archival research to reconstruct U.S. cricket history.

'''Additional breadth of coverage:'''

* His earlier football writing has been cited internationally. ''Bleacher Report'' (2016) quoted his Firstpost coverage of Bengaluru FC’s AFC Cup semifinal to illustrate the cultural impact of Indian club football.
* ''SB Nation'' (2014) referenced his reporting on football ownership structures in Spain.
* His article on Michael Ballack was featured on the player’s official website (2012).

Together, these demonstrate '''significant, independent, and non-trivial coverage across multiple years, sports, and geographies''', satisfying the requirements of '''WP:GNG'''. [[User:EmotionalCricket|EmotionalCricket]] ([[User talk:EmotionalCricket|talk]]) 09:32, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
