Hi there,
Personally, I prefer to prod articles with notability asserted but no way to verify that. In these "cases", I also check if the Wikipedia in the language related to the article (in this case, hi.wikipedia.org) has an entry about this topic.
I haven't, but maybe I should suggest creating an article in the user's native language. In the same way as a Google test fails, an AFD may also fail due the inability of users to check the claims.
Oh, once I even posted a note at WikiProject India to get some feedback about Mair Rajputs :-)

Hi all, I'm from India, a contributor to the Wikipedia. In recent times, the 'mortality' of new Wikipedia entries seems to be higher than usual. While one can understand the need for abundant caution, it's also important to allow for a diversity of concerns and issues in this space.
Should we presume that because an initiative is not very visible in cyberspace (okay, we are under-digitised societies!) that it is not prominent or noteworthy? See as one example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikalp This is a campaign against censorship of documentary film in India, one which has the participation of about 250 documentary film-makers.
There must be some way out. Your suggestions would be welcome. FN
