A disambig for two people we don't have articles for, no evidence they meet WP:BIO if we did; presumably both living people, both unverified and one making potentially problematic claims about persons activities. Delete. --Peta 00:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete there's also another one of these at P. S. Prasad, but that one says it's unknown if they're the same person or not. Sheesh. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  00:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both. If they are two different people, we don't even know if they have the same full name or not, so we don't know if we need a disambiguation or not. --Sable232 00:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both per nom and two weak articles that fail to verify even if they are the same person --Steve (Slf67)talk 01:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the proper disambig page and the P. S. Prasad (BCCI) page, and delete the P. S. Prasad (disambig) page, please. I know this all sounds esoteric, but hear me out:  The BCCI guy is notable to anyone researching the BCCI scandal, or characters like Ghaith Pharaon or Bert Lance; the Dhanalakshmi guy may or may not be as notable, but he was already listed on the Dhanalakshmi Bank page when I created a page for the BCCI guy.  So I created the disambig page, only to get whacked ("almost a request for information") for having the temerity to suggest that these might be one and the same person (being as it just so happens that the Dhanalakshmi's public career seems to have taken off after the disappearance of the BCCI guy; and that he seems to have been involved in at least one other vaguely scandal-prone bank, ICICI, in the intervening time.)  Since I couldn't reference that assertion, I tried separating the two, now I'm getting whacked for making this distinction.  Anyway, the BCCI guy page is now referenced, and I'm happy to leave the Dhanalakshmi guy as red ink; if these do turn out to be the same person, then this is probably referenced in the non-English press somewhere and sooner or later, someone will eventually make this clarification.  Until then, it seems useful to have separate bio pages (with no unsourced comments relating the two), and a dismabig page.  Sheesh.  --Whiskey Pete, 03:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the disambig page and rename the P. S. Prasad (BCCI) page to P. S. Prasad. There's no need to have a disambig page if only one of the articles exist. J I P  | Talk 05:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions.   -- Mereda 07:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both and then move P. S. Prasad (BCCI) to P. S. Prasad. There is no evidence that the Dhanalakshmi Bank president is notable, but the BCCI person is. Finally, remove any speculation these may be the same person per WP:BLP. --Pak21 08:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * delete per nom. Chris 08:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both disambiguation pages, move P. S. Prasad (BCCI) page to P. S. Prasad, and mention prominently at the top of the page that there's another P.S. Prasad who works for the Dhanalakshmi Bank. That way, people looking for the BCCI guy will read about him, but anyone looking for the Dhanalakshmi Bank guy will know that it isn't the same person, and we won't have to be concerned about libel.  (Given enough proof that they are different people, that is.  That might need some research.)  --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 22:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
