Mohit Bhandari

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

refs do not discuss the subject in depth. person is not notable based on having performed many surgeries. KDS 4444 Talk  07:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep though it needs to be completely rewritten given the POV. The mention in TOI seems to give him notoriety. Curro2 (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, maybe, Curro2... Except that (in the first TOI article) they only quote him in the discussion of an article about obesity— the article actually says nothing about him at all (in the second TOI reference provided, he isn't even mentioned).  My sense is that it takes more than being quoted to qualify as notable, but maybe I am wrong on that (?).  Hm.  Any other opinions out there?  KDS 4444  Talk  00:28, 1 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - He is talked about with the history of bariatric surgery in India at this link . The article itself needs to be stubbed out with the poor grammar and promotion removed. He also has a history on Google Scholar with some of his articles here - . --CNMall41 (talk) 07:18, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This one bothered me all day as the article read like crap but still thought the subject to be notable. I stubbed the article out and removed the promotional and information that was not sourced. Added a few of his authored studies as well.--CNMall41 (talk) 02:40, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep for all the reasons above and more. He has a prominent presence on Google Scholar and Google Books (his articles have also been cited hundreds of times in other journals). He and his work have also been the focus of several regional, national, and international publications (including these:, , , , ). This certainly seems like plenty to establish notability.

 * Re-looking at those articles, I'm realizing that most of them are referencing a different Mohit Bhandari. Regardless, the articles cited on the Wikipedia page itself are enough to establish notability. Gargleafg (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Google Scholar shows good enough results. As stated above, his works have been cited a number of times and he has achieved a few milestones. Overall, the subject seems to meet WP:BASIC and passes WP:GNG.  Ya  sh  !   16:44, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
