D Udaya Kumar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

WP:BLP1E. Article's subject designed the new Indian rupee sign, but appears to have no notability outside that one (admittedly important) event. TFOWR 18:56, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Winner of a national competition, meets WP:ARTIST. The article on the new Indian rupee sign looks like stargazing to me, but D Udaya Kumar will remain notable as the winner of the competition - whether or not the sign is adopted as the unicode standard.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 21:46, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep As D Udaya Kumar is notable - 1. for desinging Indian rupee symbol 2. for obtaining the very first PhD degree in Industrial Design in India. Angpradesh (talk) 03:16, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

*Delete. At present, this is a pretty good case of one incident. The subject has a potential to satisfy WP:Creative in future. The relevant information can be mentioned in the article about the Indian rupee sign as the subject is not yet ready to have an independent article on Wikipedia.

 * You are arguing for merge and redirect, not for delete.  Ty  05:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per the nom, who asserts the person is notable for an important event. WP:BLP1E does not apply; this person will have an enduring place in the history of Indian currency, and per WP:CREATIVE "This person's work ... has become a significant monument". The worldwide news coverage indicates the interest in his achievement. His other activities add to this.  Ty  06:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CREATIVE (4.a). His single action is significant enough to get into history books for perpetuity. --Sodabottle (talk) 06:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: but for Salih's !vote, I'd be inclined to withdraw the nom at this point - my nom was prompted by a talk page discussion which touched on BLP1E, but not WP:ARTIST (and WP:ARTIST makes sense to me, somewhat belatedly). Thoughts? for the nom? TFOWR 07:41, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You are entitled to withdraw the nom, if you choose, by stating that above. Withdrawal of the nom does not automatically close the debate, though if Salih also changes, then it can be a speedy keep.  Ty  07:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
