I previously placed a WP:PROD on the rationale "Being Chair of BMA GPC GP trainees subcommittee and no. 36 on a list of leading GPs is insufficient to meet notability guidelines for biographies." The Prod was removed by the article creator along with the maintenance tags. Some media coverage for the subject can be found: Hindustan Times and Pulse, both mentioning the subject in that top-50 list, plus quotation in a Pulse article, but I think these fall short of WP:ANYBIO criteria so I am bringing this article to AfD on the same rationale as the earlier Prod.

 * This article has created a lot of ripples in the media in AP, India and hence I felt all the 4 members involved de meet the notability guidelines for biographies criteria.

 * Being Chair of BMA GPC GP trainees subcommittee - a committee for 10,000 doctors which is significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rakkineni (talk • contribs) 19:18, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Not sure if he exactly meets the WP:BIO guidelines but he is not far off and anyway meets my guidelines. Here is a more detailed article from Pulse. Note: after I looked at the Pulse article two or three times I was blocked until I could log in there. Thincat (talk) 20:04, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:ACADEMIC; I could find no publications at all at Google Scholar. Fails WP:ANYBIO because being named one of the top 50 physicians in a given field by a magazine does not amount to a "well known or significant or award or honor"; magazines publish such lists all the time. Fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage by reliable sources; he is mentioned in the Pulse Magazine top-50 list, which got a little bit of press (BTW the Economic Times article and the Deccan Herald article cited above are the same article), but nothing close to significant coverage by independent reliable sources. Basically he appears to be a successful, well-regarded physician in general practice; that's not enough for inclusion in an international encyclopedia. --MelanieN (talk) 17:56, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as having insufficient in-dpeth coverage in independent third party sources to meet WP:GNG. If such sources are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Some additional hits: . However, even with the links provided above by Rakkineni and Thincat, there is not enough coverage in reliable sources for a stand-alone article. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 10:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
