Article does not provide evidence that the subject is notable. Only 2 references are provided, and only 1 actually discusses the subject in any amount of detail. I found other mentions of him in other online sources, but they merely list his performance on the exam. The underlying "achievement" is achieving "248th" on a national Indian Civil Service exam. Well, by itself, that's not enough to be notable; otherwise, we'd have hundreds of articles on people like this every single year. Simply get a high mark on an exam is not sufficient to meet WP:BIO. As a side note, just to comment on something the article creator said on talk, what this person may or may not do in the future is irrelevant for Wikipedia's purposes; if he becomes notable in the future, at that point an article can be created, but we don't guess that the person might someday become notable and then create an article in anticipation of that time.

 * Delete possibly CSD A7. He's got a bachelor's degree; he passed a civil service exam. These are utterly mundane life achievements. Not a hint of biographical notability. AllyD (talk) 09:49, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. Hardly any notability. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 14:40, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly non-notable. Actually I had added PROD to the article this morning, which the creator of the article, removed with this edit without giving any reason, very strange, has a habit of blanking out talk page.. --Ekabhishektalk 17:14, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Securing 248th rank in IAS exam is surely an achievement, but not enough to pass WP:GNG. After reading the article and searching in Google I can not find any other notable work. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 19:44, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete minor mention in (very) local press does not meet the WP:GNG test. Subject's achievements, personally commendable though they me, do not establish real-world notability in any particular field. Abecedare (talk) 20:18, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete No shit, 248th?? --  Ohc  ¡digame!¿que pasa? 03:01, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
