fails WP:BIO. does not have indepth coverage except one article and the 1 gnews hit. simply being a headmaster doesn't guarantee you an article. LibStar (talk) 02:49, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Doon School. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 15:22, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep as creator; Articles have to start somewhere. Cannot solely rely on Gnews hits for notability. -- Merlaysamuel : Speechify  09:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep with caveat: does anyone know if the obit at the Hindu is paid or written by the staff? It mostly reads like a staff obit, not paid, but I'm a little unsure.  If it's a staff obit in one of India's biggest papers then it's a definite keep. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep Per all above and The Hindu obit, Michael Scott Cuthbert this obit is definitely staff obit. (I am from India and regularl read The Hindu) :) --Ð ℬig XЯaɣ  18:54, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep A couple of newspaper obits and the fact that he was the headmaster of four important schools in India is marginally notable. --regentspark (comment) 18:58, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - India is already hideously under-represented in WikiBios. Such articles should be encouraged. Eric simeon, despite heading some of the most famous Indian schools, had a distinguished army career. True notable people like these always seem to be left out on Wiki! --Mussolinispas (talk) 15:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * you haven't addressed how WP:BIO is met. Under representation of Indian bios is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 04:09, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
