 * Delete: weak delete, source 9 and 35 are RS, but both the same publication, somewhat rehashing the same story. Rest are all promotional or corporate overviews. Oaktree b (talk) 14:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also both 9 & 35 do not discuss much about her professional excellence or notability, just random celebrity questions boosting ego (possibly promotional/paid). The publication per itself "focuses on intelligent lifestyle". @Oaktree b. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 15:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I googled a bit and saw these good references in the media.

 * @Tinucherian Most articles cited in bullet does not speak much about her or her contributions, some articles are years apart but written by the same individual journalist. Further, all articles have her name in the headline but there is no substance in the article about her. See also: Paid news in India (I am unable to find the WP internal article on this, but there is one).
 * About "listed also as India's Most Powerful Women in Business by Fortune, Business Today and Forbes India."
 * She is not listed as "the: most powerful, but a list of 100, or so, released each year. Thanks,

 * How do you assume every news story in India is paid for? I find such accusations of Indian media outrageous. Business Today, The Economic Times are very respected and top publications in India. This business today article is written by Neetu Chandra Sharma, who has over 18 years of extensive newspaper and digital reporting experience and Senior Editor at BT. The ET article is written by Viswanath Pillai, Asst Editor and has nearly 20 years of experience as a journalist. --  Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 09:59, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Tinucherian, I did not mean to say that, I am myself from India. My main point was not the Curriculum vitae of journalists, but that there is little about her in those articles apart from her name in Headline, and that she is not listed as "the: most powerful, but a list of 100, or so, released each year.

 * Delete - she absolutely has not done anything worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. This basically fails WP:SIGCOV, but even more broadly, WP:GNG, and WP:NOTWEBHOST. She appears to be a very nice young lady who was put into her job by her father. That isn't notable. Bearian (talk)

Keep This is an entry that should not be deleted. There are many sources, besides the fact that we need more Wikipedia pages about women who are doing important work. A very nice young lady? Come on What century are you living in...--Hazooyi (talk) 09:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @User4edits I have found more references about her in Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal, two of the biggest and most reputed newspapers in the world.

It may be behind paywall and due to copyright issues, I am sharing only a few extracts

Financial Times : 'Transforming a small pathology lab into a $1bn business'
 * Ameera Shah, managing director of India’s Metropolis Healthcare, returned to her Mumbai home in mid-March, after giving birth to her first child. Her plan was to spend a month “without worrying about Metropolis,” the nationwide chain of diagnostics laboratories she had built over the previous two decades.


 * :But coronavirus cases had begun emerging in India, where authorities had done little to prepare for the pandemic. Ms Shah was soon ensnared in calls with government officials about testing policies.


 * On March 23, New Delhi permitted six private pathology labs — including Metropolis — to start testing for the pathogen. A day later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi abruptly imposed a nationwide coronavirus lockdown. The 40-year-old entrepreneur — who by then had retreated with her husband, parents and baby to a house in the countryside — found herself at the centre of a maelstrom, trying to help her company ramp up its coronavirus testing capacity amid the severe disruption of the lockdown.


 * For years, she fought the stereotype [in India] that young women lacked seriousness, as she transformed her father’s small pathology lab into a listed company valued at nearly $1bn on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

The Wall Street Journal : 'Entrepreneur Builds a Leading Chain of Diagnostics Labs'


 * Ameera Shah launched Metropolis Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in 2001, expanding her father’s Mumbai-based pathology center into a company of 3,800 employees and a network of laboratories throughout India. Taking advantage of low regulatory costs that allow blood tests to be conducted at a tenth the price of a U.S. lab, the company has strived to build up scale, offering 4,500 types of tests on everything from cholesterol to complex genetics. But loose regulation also means stiff competition – there are about 100, 000 pathology labs in India’s fragmented market. Ms. Shah, 36, spoke with The Wall Street Journal about her decision to return to India after going to college in the U.S., the challenges of organizing independent-minded Indian doctors and her decision to expand into emerging markets in Africa.

Hope these references are more than enough to prove the notability of the subject -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 18:11, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep - Numerous media outlets have extensively covered the subject, easily meeting the criteria outlined in Wikipedia's notability guideline (WP:GNG). I found several recent articles by just searching her name on Google News. Here are a few coverages that are currently missing and should be added to improve the article instead of deleting it.
