 * Keep: Regional Adviser on Trade Facilitation to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) see here, notable all right, though info haphazard as of now. Was tag added without going through the references provided? --Ekabhishek (talk) 06:07, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. Dr. Nadadur Janardhan has made highly valuable contribution to India's MCA 21 to enable Indian companies to govern their entire lifecycle electronically with the help of easy-to-use, highly efficient tools of modern information technologies.  This system   has been looked as an example of good governance  by various organizations internationally, including different municipal governmental bodies in Hungary.  The state of the art financial and non-financial risk analysis, measurement and monitoring governance model created by Dr. Nadadur Janardhan for one of the largest financial services companies  in the world, headquartered in Europe,  is another example of  Haselfrë`s unique, world class competence in the area of Governance.

 * Keep. It seems he has held significant positions and received awards, so he clearly is notable. Offliner (talk) 11:45, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I took the time to work through all the references. They show that he worked for the UN for some years as a regional advisor on e-commerce. In this capacity, he sat on various committees and working groups, and spoke at several conferences. He contributed to a UN publication on e-commerce. He has founded a company that provides software and consulting on e-commerce, and continues to speak at conferences. None of this seems enough to establish notability according to WP:BIO guidelines. There is no strong evidence of significant work, honors or even wide respect by his peers. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Aymatth, As far as I know Dr Nadadur Janardhan has written books on eCommerce but his company is not providing either consultancy or software for e-commerce. It focuses only on eGovernance and Governance aspects. Moreover, before joining the UN he has done significant work focused on execution of good governance for literacy, womens' empowerment, supply for potable drinking water in highly inaccessable rural areas and ensuring peace and security in districts such as Ramanathapuram (a coastal district in Tamilnadu facing Srilanka) when the activities of LTTE were at its peak. I am certain that for this significant contribution made to people he was called by the UN to work as Regional Advisor. --Melquirrajan (talk) 07:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Notability is established by references. We need some evidence of notable work (e.g. some new theory or approach or important book), or some major honors or achievements, that are discussed by reliable independent sources: some evidence that he is a notable individual in the Wikipedia sense. The references do not show this. Most are just meeting agendas or conference notes showing that he attended or spoke. It is possible to do much valuable work and to be highly successful and respected in one's field without meeting this criterion, and it is possible to achieve notability from a single book or theorem. I don't see evidence of notability in this case. If I saw some articles discussing his work or achievements by independent sources (not his UN employers or conference organizers) I would change my mind. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:50, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
