 * Keep - appears to meet the notability criteria with significant coverage in Indian newspapers over his actions as district collector (described here as the most powerful government official in the district)and a widely recognized role in the Gujarat earthquake. The position of Joint Secretary of the Commerce Ministry is on a similar level to Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez - an unelected position but seemingly of sufficient national importance to assert notability.

 * Keep. There is significant coverage of him in Indian mass media, both national and local. GoogleNews gives 262 hits, most containing nontrivial coverage. There are examples there of detailed coverage of him personally such as this article about him in Indian Express. Passes WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 13:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Joint Secretary, Department of Commerce & Industry is a very high rank for Indian Civil Servants. Also, there are good number of google results appear when searched for this guy's name. Considering that not much results are expected on civil servants, he is notable and often comes in news. I would suggest closing this debate immediately: the article has seven references now. I also do not know enough to estimate notablity of a lot of articles, but I do not try to learn by filing Afd. --GDibyendu (talk) 18:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
