Fails WP:SOLDIER unless the Siachen Glacier Medal makes them notable and reads like a case of WP:NOTMEMORIAL Gbawden (talk) 12:47, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Siachen Glacier Medal is notable especially for the significance of Operation Meghdoot and also army officers who serve in Siachen itself is notable because of the weather and climatic conditions there and also its significance in the India Pakistan relations.

"Isolation from civilisation, subzero temperatures, avalanches and blizzards - these are just some of the adversities that India's brave jawans face on the highest and coldest battlefield in the world, the Siachen glacier."

To stay and survive in isolated posts at altitudes as high as 21,000 feet, requires a great amount of physical courage, mental stamina - and nerves of steel.

Also notable is that Nilesh Soni is a martyr who was killed at the time of active war in Siachen and that he was a part of Operation Meghdoot.

Moreover, numerous articles have been written about Nilesh Soni in the print media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathak.mehtaa (talk • contribs) 14:03, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Junior officer doing his job. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:13, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - The description of the Siachen Glacier Medal casts it as a service medal of the "end of tour" type (awardable for serving a day and a night at one location). Soni is non-notable.-- Jim in Georgia  Contribs  Talk  17:27, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Aa che Siachen, January 2017, Harshal Pushkarna, Uranus Books, ISBN 9788193238905, page 32

The notability is also the age of the soldier.

Also cannot be dismissed as soldier doing his job because it is very important for people to know what happens with army officers protecting the country but also a lot has been talked about recently how there is lack of awareness among general public. More and more articles should be written about army officers and their work on wikipedia for people to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathak.mehtaa (talk • contribs) 05:22, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * What's his age got to do with it? He was 24, a perfectly common age for soldiers to be killed. Many millions of soldiers have been killed on active duty throughout history. It's all very sad, but Wikipedia is not a memorial. There has to be something that distinguishes him from the general run of army officers, and there just isn't. He was a junior officer, he was killed, he received a service medal. There is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about that. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:36, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Nilesh has give his life for Safety Of peoples of mother land. His story as page in Wikipedia will be light house  for young generation to do some things for Nation. His monuments is like KAhmbhi in memories of warrior who laid  down his life for defiance of peoples. Nilesh story must keep on Wikipedia no reason for deletion.Regarding Siachin medal its is honour for his service in very difficult area and in extreme un favorable weather  in which human can not survive.

 * Weak delete - Online news articles suggest that the coverage has been routine articles about his death and memorials to his death. The memorial to him on Anjali-Chandranagar BRTS road in Ahmedabad was built and paid for by his family, which is laudable, but does not suggest that the monument strongly increases the notability of the individual. He is given special mention in a book, Aa che Siachen, but I am not sure there is enough there for WP:GNG. If kept, there are some POV and tone issues in the article that should be dealt with.

 * Delete - unfortunate but not notable for stand alone article; WP:Memorial applies. Kierzek (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTMEMORIAL and lack of significant coverage in reliable sources to meet the GNG. Certainly doesn't meet WP:SOLDIER. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:38, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
