Bhaskar Rao.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable police officer; page was created by chain-moving a draft from a user sandbox to mainspace, and the creator has a two backup drafts. The article title without the fullstop is salted. Google News gives me nothing but sound bites from the man (String: "Bhaskar Rao"). Given the article's history at the past title, if deleted this title should also be salted as well. —A little blue Bori v^_^v  Onward to 2020 21:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

 * delete non notable person, exaggerated claims and should also be salted considering the period was an attempt to evade protection at Bhaskar Rao. Praxidicae (talk) 21:24, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, I thought that this article looked familiar. Fails WP:ANYBIO, non-notable police officer. Concur that this title should be salted - as well as Bhaskar Rao (IPS), just in case the editor moves the current draft to the mainspace bypassing the AfC process.

 * Thank you for pointing that redirect out, Dan arndt; I've tagged it for speedy deletion under criterion R3. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 01:39, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete As I have said many time before we should go to requring all articles pass the article creation process. Not that this would solve our problem with hundreds of articles sourced only to the non-reliable and non-notability signallying IMDb. I am also beginning to realize we have a further issue with over use of primary sources such as the US census.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:10, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Note I have just nominated the backup drafts for deletion. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 20:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - The use of the period in the title is gaming the naming of articles, in addition to the fact that the person is already known to be non-notable. We don't have a rule against using punctuation in article titles because that is another subspecies of beans that we don't say not to feed to the chickens.

 * Comment - Consider adding the name to the Title Blacklist. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:51, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: I did a news search in case the subject were to meet notability but there is nothing except barebones passing mentions at best. The page should be creation protection after deletion. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 08:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails notability standards and should be deleted once again. SALT this namespace as well. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:55, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to be the Commissioner of Police of Bangalore, a city of over 10 million people. It would be hard to conceive of the chief of police of a British or American city of anywhere near this size being deleted. Whatever the history of the article or its creator, the only thing that matters is the notability of the individual. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:25, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wrong. Nobody has been able to find anything approaching acceptable sources. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 21:23, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Nothing I can find to support notability. Those other police chiefs must have better coverage. Concur with the above suggestions of SALTing any possible iteration of the article title; we have wasted more than enough time considering the notability of the subject already. --Jack Frost (talk) 10:09, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
