 * Keep Coverage like this in the New York Times is significant coverage. From looking at this and other sources in Google News I also do not think that the article overstates the subject's achievements. -- JN 466  22:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Note also there is more when you look for "Bala Manian" rather than "Bala S. Manian"; e.g. these in Google Books. It is significant coverage. He is also an Oscar winner. -- JN  466  22:58, 12 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep He has had significant coverage in indian media. Biocon director, ISB mentor are all high visibility roles, which makes the media do a human interest piece always. Besides the 1999 Science and Technical oscar for  "pioneering efforts in the development of laser film recording technology." is enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. And the oscar win seems to have generated some coverage in 1999 in the US media like this NY Post article--Sodabottle (talk) 04:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as The New York Times and The Hindu. Easily passes WP:GNG.  Salih  ( talk ) 05:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs a rewrite for style and additional citations. --Jtalledo (talk) 13:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep significant coverage, The article may be written by someone known but the user does not know wikipedia article writing and referencing, The article needs a re-write, I am not nominating my self. But its worth keeping.--Its019 (talk) 05:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
