Non-notable police officer. Has held multiple roles during his tenure at IPS, but all of them are run-of-the-mill posts held by all IPS officers and nothing at the highest levels of the bureaucracy which may have earned him notability. Is mainly notable for a faux pas when he was unable to identify a state minister. Fails WP:GNG, adequate references not seen and is mainly created and edited by a single-purpose editor.

 * Keep. Terrible article, but he did hold the highest possible rank in the Indian Police Service. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:28, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * He holds distrit's highest rank not national's highest rank. ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 15:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Director-General is the highest possible rank in the IPS, which is clearly what I said. I said "rank", not "post". Just as an army officer can hold the rank of general and not be head of his nation's army. But we'd still write an article about him because of his rank, because reaching that rank is a clear indication of notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:37, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * DGP is the highest rank in the state, but is not holder of the highest position. Holding the highest rank does not make them automatically notable, though holding the highest post which is the chief of police staff in the state may do so. Per this list, there are 5 DGPs and 15 ADGPs in the state and Kerala is among the smaller states, and most of the 3200 IPS officers stand a good chance of retiring as an ADGP or DGP. Besides there are not enough references to indicate WP:N is met.  Jupitus Smart  12:00, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Not seeing notability, I can't find extensive mentions of him, only confirmation that he exists. Kudos on the bicycle photo though. Oaktree b (talk) 19:05, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - Per the discussion above, there is no presumed notability. Per Oaktree b and my own searches, cannot find sufficient information for an article under WP:BASIC. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:50, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep but clean up is needed. Looks like an advertisement. Okoslavia (talk) 16:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
