User:Jarprakash : I wonder how he is not a notable person as per your guidelines. There are reference about him in Wikipedia itself. 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scott_Christian_College_alumni 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragyan#2016 even you can google to find his notabilities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarprakash (talk • contribs) 15:35, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * His name being present in other articles is not a notability criterion in and of itself. For one thing, anybody can add just any name to any Wikipedia article at any time regardless of whether that person would clear our notability criteria or not. So if all anybody had to do to make themselves or somebody else notable enough for a Wikipedia article was to add the name in question to just any list of anything, then we'd automatically have to keep an article about every single person on earth.

Remove Fails also WP:ANYBIO, as he ultimately didn't receive the highest Ashok Chakra Award. Sincerely, Գարիկ Ավագյան (talk) 15:03, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

User:Jarprakash : Agree with Գարիկ Ավագյան and removed it from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarprakash (talk • contribs) 15:35, 16 August 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete He is Indian but doesn't have a Hindi Wikipedia page. Pointly (talk) 00:48, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete unless better references can be furnished. Of the eight references in the article, two are dead links. Some were written by Devasahayam himself. Others quote him in an interview fashion. One is a list. None are significant coverage of Devasahayam by independent, reliable sources. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  01:24, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's no strong notability claim here above and beyond "he was a person who did stuff", and the sourcing isn't solid enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to have a strong notability claim. Bearcat (talk) 14:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
