Kailash Manav

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Judgîng by the article, he was a very good man - but morality alone does not satisfy our notability standards, which he appears to fail. The article's English is not the best, but we can at least assume that it was not written by Manav himself due to this edit summary, which refers to him in the third person. He appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Inter change  able | talk to me  02:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. There's nothing noteworthy here and I see nothing noteworthy in a web search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by West Eddy (talk • contribs) 02:11, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment A somewhat înteresting feature is that right in the middle of the the fourth paragraph, the writer suddenly refers to him as Dr.'Manav' and remains that way for the rest of the article. Inter  change  able | talk to me  14:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment User:Northamerica1000 has tagged the artîcle for rescue. I don't understand this and don't believe that it can or should be rescued. Inter  change  able | talk to me  18:00, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article is certainly in terrible shape, but these two articles  suggest Manav passes WP:GNG. Lagrange613 (talk) 07:32, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * strong delete fails WP:BIO. THe 2nd source above merely confirms he joined Facebook. There is no coverage in multiple sources. WP:AUTOBIO concerns as well. LibStar (talk) 08:38, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The second source also calls him "well known". When an independent source from a culture I'm not very familiar with calls someone "well known" it's a red flag for me. Lagrange613 (talk) 16:34, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * comment - he has some noteworthiness (at a local level) as has received notable award - Padma Shree for Social Service 2008, although he has not been added there - Padma_Shri_Awards_(2000–2009) and other recognitions, but the state of the article needs improvement and there is the issue of coverage in reliable externals. The lack of a single attempt to improve the biography in the twelve days since the rescue template was added is not filling me full of hope for the improvements this article needs to be kept..

 * This strikes me as an argument to avoid, though it may prevail. Lagrange613 (talk) 16:34, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - no assertion here or in my search of getting over the WP:GNG - Off2riorob (talk) 16:57, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
