I don't believe the subject is eligible for a standalone article as there's not enough information about him. All the refs presented and a bunch that I've found just mention him without going in detail. I suggest creating a redirect to Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Less Unless (talk) 21:50, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. If he was a member of the Legislative Council of Bengal, he would clearly pass WP:POLITICIAN. However, I can't find any reliable sources that confirm this, although here we have a claim that it appears in a print source. Even without this, as the chief developer of an extremely significant engineering project, who clearly has been written about in print sources, I think he does pass WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:22, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: Grace's Guide to British Industrial History, which I think is a reliable source, confirms he was a member of the Bengal Legislative Council, affirming WP:NPOL. As cited in the Grace's Guide link, an additional offline source exists as well. Curbon7 (talk) 00:44, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NPOL. Mottezen (talk) 04:56, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
