The GBooks search is frustrating: after promising thousands of results, it then tails out after less than 100, many of which are the subject's own works in, presumably, Punjabi language|Punjabi. However, a significant proportion of the rest are admittedly passing mentions in surveys of twentieth-century Punjabi literature or Indian literature in general - but the kind of mention that, in surveys of literature in English or any major European language, would pretty much guarantee the subject's fulfilment of #3 and #4 several times over. In this case, the two GBooks references most likely to establish notability that I could spot are http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=bmFYZANvqRoC&pg=PA71&lpg=PA71&dq=&quot;Surjit+Singh+Sethi&quot;&source=bl this short discussion in English of one of his works, apparently in the context of a longer discussion of similar work by another author and http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_dUMAAAAIAAJ&q=&quot;Surjit+Singh+Sethi&quot;&dq=&quot;Surjit+Singh+Sethi&quot;&source=bl these http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GAG1AAAAIAAJ&q=&quot;Surjit+Singh+Sethi&quot;&dq=&quot;Surjit+Singh+Sethi&quot;&source=bl two in Punjabi, both of which appear to be book-length studies of the subject's work. I would guess that there are significantly more similar reviews and studies in Punjabi, and that the only reason we are picking up just these two is that GBooks has descriptions of them in English. However, we could certainly do with a Punjabi speaker to advise here
