With ex-policy Notability (doctors) being marked "historical", there doesn't seem to be a current guideline for notability on doctors, but these pediatricians, though somewhat prominent, don't seem to be notable. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 00:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

If we want we can change the name of the article to a more specific one like "Dr. Gajjala Sudhakar, Kurnool". He is a very famous pediatrician in the Kurnool District, A.P., India and it would be not a great idea to completely delete the article. Please consider my suggestion. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prashanth Saddala (talk • contribs)


 * Delete. The only thing in the article that could conceivably be a claim to notability is the claim he founded the Rainbow Children's Hospital in Kurnool.  This might be notable if reliable sources find it so.  But there are three citations after this fact, none of which actually verify it, or even mention the chidren's hospital, and none of them are reliable in the Wikipedia sense.  They are all just directories merely establishing proof of existence of Sudhakar.  Spinning  Spark  02:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Just noting that he is not mentioned on the Rainbow Children's Hospital website, the official site for Kumool Medical College is a deadlink , and the student site doesn't mention him .  Spinning Spark  11:34, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Note: Spinningspark's observation, if I searched correctly, applies to Dr. Rafiq Ahmed, the other nominee (also from Kurnool). Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 18:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I had not noticed two articles were nominated. Yes, delete both with the added comment that the source for the claim that Ahmed teaches Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support actually verifies only that he is the treasurer of the committee.  Spinning  Spark  22:32, 12 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete both No question they are physicians, and I'm sure they are respected and important. But it takes more than that to have a page at Wikipedia. It takes significant coverage by independent reliable sources, and I could not find any. Nothing at all at Google Scholar, nothing at Google News, only social media sites at Google. And there doesn't seem to be much verification of the claims in the article. --MelanieN (talk) 22:45, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. The physician has not received significant coverage in academic journals or textbooks. The citations listed in the article are not reliable. Subject doesn't meet WP:GNG.-- xanchester  (t)  03:15, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
