Nallam Venkataramayya

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No indication of notability. The closest approaches are 1) director of his own clinic, "Nallam Clinic"; 2) wrote a book "History of Medicine in French India"; 3; a number of miscellaneous positions and awards noted in "Posts and honors".

Neither the clinic nor the book appear to me to convey notability; I'm not familiar with all the things listed under "posts and honors", so I'm willing to be corrected, but they do not (at least on their own) appear to convey notability, either. (If an award was made in recognition of something that conveys notability, of course, that would be different, but no such things are noted in the article or in anything I can readily find.)

The article was started by and has been frequently edited by User:Drnallamv, whose edit history shows he has edited no other articles. Obviously the article's creation and continued editing by an editor who appears to be the subject raises WP:COI factors, which is not itself grounds for deletion, but in this case seems to be crossing the line into a mere vanity article.

I note that the article has previously been deleted, but that was under WP:BLPPROD, which I don't regard as having any real indication on notability one way or the other here. TJRC (talk) 15:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment  Seems to have coverage in the Hindu. I assume the Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur also gives notability, does it not? The article needs better sourcing.

 * He's thanked in a thesis here: http://nuxeo.edel.univ-poitiers.fr/nuxeo/site/esupversions/041e3126-ca00-49c6-abf6-4c31afa8f209, I don't know if it's as a faculty advisor or not. He's also given a brief interview in a magazine in 2014, but it's a primary source, talking about the French climate in Pondichery. Oaktree b (talk) 19:45, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - Reads like a scanty resume, with much left out. Being a director of a clinic just makes him one of perhaps millions of clinic directors around the world. If the clinic bore his name, that would be notability. The career section also evokes a "so what?". He wrote one book - one only? Unclear why he got the awards, but perhaps because he was part of a group assisting during an area disaster or any other circumstance. Other awards are not explained, and could be what anyone gets if they stay with a profession long enough. By comparison, see Sanjay Gupta. This article just doesn't tell us Nallam Venkataramayya is notable for anything. — Maile  (talk) 18:28, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: I want to clarify all the editors that recipients of Legion of Honour are generally kept in deletion discussions. See Articles for deletion/John Pattison (RAF officer). ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 05:47, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't want to argue for deletion of an article that ought to be retained; but is that true for all classes of Legion of Honor, regardless of level? The Legion of Honour article lists six classes, and while the top 3 or 4 (Grand-maître, Grand-croix, Grand officier, and probably Commandeur) look pretty exclusive, there's almost 75,000 in the lowest-level Chevalier class, which is Venkataramayya's. Are we saying that all almost 75K Chevalier recipients are inherently notable just based on that award? TJRC (talk) 00:22, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
