Fails WP:N for BLPs. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 00:32, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - There are actually plenty of sources covering his appointment to his current role (such as these) and assorted items where he's acting as a spokesman for the bank, but none of them address him in detail sufficient to write an encyclopaedic article about him, and therefore he fails WP:N for lack of "significant coverage". - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:23, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments: I think that sources on the web may be limited and not abundant in case of this person. However, there may be several other sources in print media. If possible, I will try to expand the article to give it a better shape. Being the chief of one of the premier banks in India with around 3300 branches in India and abroad is certainly notable, particularly in view that there may be only a handful of banks in the world with so many branches. We should not destroy the stub in its embryonic form and should not expect that in a day or within a few hours a good article can be created. I am not comparing the person with Abraham Lincoln. But, in two months, the article on Abraham Lincoln looked like this: . We should remember the advice of Angela and try to understand the way in which the project is expected to grow: let us allow the stub/s to grow. To understand the issues in a comprehensive way, please read and understand User:Angela/Stubs. While creating stubs on notable Indians, I have encountered similar difficulties when I was hardly 3-day old Wikipedian and a web source appeared after many years:, and during my 6th year as a Wikipedian, I encounter the same difficulty. This indicates that our contents continue to be evaluated stringently which is really good for everyone concerned. Thank you. --Bhadani (talk) 17:26, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I have a misgiving that there could be a conflict of interests in this article as Bhadani himself is an employee of this bank. Using Wikipedia to get into the employer's good books is a bad idea. 117.204.94.121 (talk) 08:43, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * With due respect to the anonymous user, I would like to add that “conflict of interest” ... it is stretching the issue to a different tangent. Bank of India is an organization with around 40,000 employees like me; it is a corporate entity and not a grocery shop owned by a single person. If I try to stretch my imagination, I would argue: as a person has donated to Wikipedia Projects, she/ he has a “conflict of interest” in editing any of the Wikipedia Projects! Or, A chinese should not create or edit an article relating to China as being a citizen of China, he/she has a "conflict of interest". The point under discussion, in my opinion, is as regards the encyclopaedic significance of the article. And, everybody knows for years that I work for Bank of India, and I do not require any facade of anonymity to contribute and edit here. --Bhadani (talk) 13:38, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you find sources, but they're not there yet, and without them the article doesn't pass our notability guidelines. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:02, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. And, thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 13:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
