I earlier PRODED this but it was removed by page creator. There's no WP:RS that can be found and WP:NOTABILITY is in doubt. ShunDream (talk) 13:33, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

1. This officer was the first ever officer of Territorial Army to be seconded to the Regular Army - to enable him to serve a tenure in the Siachen Glacier. 2. This officer was the first ever officer of Territorial Army to serve in the Siachen Glacier. 3. This officer was the first ever officer of Territorial Army to command the troops of Regular Army I understand that this article might have been deleted several times before - probably because there was no WP:RS. However, in this article, I have given WP:RS - from 2 publicly available magazines - and one of them is a specialized magazine for defence. Maratawarrior (talk) 10:44, 21 September 2018 (IST)
 * Delete, non-notable military person, lacks sig. coverage in reliable sources. Notice that Muthukrishnan Iyyappan has previously been deleted four times under A7. I have created a redirect from that title, as well as from the modification Muthu Krishnan Iyyappan. Sam Sailor 07:06, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Army captains do not pass WP:SOLDIER. It does seem his military service or tenure as CEO of Eka Academy garnered SIGCOV for GNG.Icewhiz (talk) 10:20, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
 *  Do Not Delete. Please understand that "Territorial Army" is not "Regular Army".  These are citizens who contribute to the Army (much difference from the conscription model of many countries).  The reason why I had put this persons biography is due to the following reasons:-
 * Delete whether Territorial or Regular Army, this officer has not commanded in combat at a significant rank, failing WP:MILPEOPLE/SOLDIER. Many, many, many, Indian Army captains have served on the Siachen Glacier without being written up in Wikipedia. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:51, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 *  Do Not Delete. @Buckshot06 - Many Indian Army Captain have served on Siachen Glacier - but how many TA officers have?  Please understand the nature of TA - being a citizens volunteer army, they are not authorized to command a combat unit.  However, this officer had broken ranks to set precedent to be the first officer of Territorial Army to serve in the Glacier.  Maratawarrior (talk) 14:25, 21 September 2018 (IST)
 * Delete lots of claims but nothing of particular note that would support having an article. MilborneOne (talk) 19:08, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 *  Do Not Delete. @MilborneOne - Don't you think the precedence that the officer has made warrants a mention ? Please understand the nature of Territorial Army and the fact that the officer has done something substantial which was even put in such a professional and peer reviewed magazine as aviation defence etc., Maratawarrior (talk) 15:49, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
