I can't find sufficient indicia of notability of this person, and am not even sure that on its face his bio suggests that he is notable. Unreferenced bio. Tagged for notability for two years. Article created by SPA. Epeefleche (talk) 23:26, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. It is unreferenced, but even if everything in the article is completely true and verifiable, you are left with a well educated but largely non-notable Indian civil servant from the early part of the last century? --Legis (talk - contribs) 02:59, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete due to copyvio and tagged as such. The article content, aside form the lede is copied from the Waterford County Museum web site.  This does raise the question of notability.  Why would the Waterford County Museum bother with a biography on a nobody?  It would seem that he was a senior civil servant, with the highest posting appearing to be that of Collector.  This would seem to be District collector when looking around in our Wikipedia articles.  It appears the position had significant power for governing a district, but over time, that was whittled down.  He might or might not meet WP:POLITICIAN. -- Whpq (talk) 15:40, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
