Insufficient showing and even assertion of notability. Unless notability shown, delete. --Nlu (talk) 16:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: Why is this in Afd? He is a winner of Padma Bhushan, which is one of the highest civilian honours in India. Definitely, definitely notable. I am adding the citation. -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 16:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

 * In your opinion, are all recipients of the Padma Bhushan notable and should all of them have Wikipedia articles? (It should be noted that currently, most of them don't; that doesn't mean that they shouldn't, but it does cast a major question as to whether the reception of the award is sufficient, in itself, to make the person notable.)  --Nlu (talk) 17:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I dont understand your question. It's as equal as saying "He is a President of such and such country but is the Presidentship sufficient to ensure a Wikipedia article"?. I would say a civilian award of the highest order given to a person, makes him sufficiently notable to have a Wikipedia article. --  ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 17:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have added more sources to the article. -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 17:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keepthe third-highest civilian honour in a contry of a billion people should make you notable. The fact that some other recipients don't have articles is neither here nor there. It just means Wikipedia hasn't got round to them yet. Totnesmartin (talk) 18:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per ¿Amar៛ .  Hammer1980 ·talk 21:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Winner of an important award so clearly passes the standard for inclusion. There are plenty of winners of the George Cross too or Royal Navy ships and nobody would think of deleting those... Nick mallory (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I am surprised this article has been nominated for deletion.The nominator's rationale "Insufficient showing and even assertion of notability" is plain rubbish.Notable indeed.Shyamsunder17:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Padma Bhushan = notable. Baka man  01:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Totnesmartin and others, I would have to agree the person is indeed notable. RFerreira 08:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
