 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable businessman. Sources available are primary (e,g. ) and / or not independent of the subject. &mdash; O Fortuna!   Imperatrix mundi.  08:50, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I would add that the page creator stated the article is "self written"; given sources could indicate a promotional purpose. 331dot (talk) 10:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Don't Delete. New information about his career added. His occupation changed to Executive Vice Chairman. To verify the information, check this website https://www.cognizant.com/company-overview/executive-leadership and then click CHANDRA SEKARAN. This website is also added as a citation in the page. --Tigerson1995 (talk) 11:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: A man with a job in a company. All very appropriate for the firm's corporate web pages but nothing provided or found indicates attained encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 12:29, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Don't Delete . R. Chandrasekaran is an alumnus of National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli.He was awarded Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2008. To verify, check this website https://www.nitt.edu/home/icsr/alumni/daa2007-08/, check the corporate development awardees part (OR) search using " R. Chandrasekaran ". I added this website in his Wikipedia article too as a citation. He is a top business and please check this website https://www.cognizant.com/company-overview/executive-leadership . There will be six(6) names written. Click the name CHANDRA SEKARAN . When you click that name, an article of Ramakrishnan Chandrasekaran will appear. However, I wrote R. Chandrasekaran in his Wikipedia page and it is absolutely fine. --Tigerson1995 (talk) 15:04, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I have struck through your second expression of the same opinion. AllyD (talk) 17:41, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I just want to know that whether have you checked those websites that I have mentioned in my sentences ?--Tigerson1995 (talk) 18:27, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, and they are mundane. WP:PRIMARYSOURCES applies: I have never yet seen a company website that has anything but good things to say about its own staff. Nor is an alumni listing independent evidence of notability. AllyD (talk) 19:02, 25 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep . These are the other sources that I have cited in his Wikipedia page, open them read it. : (1) http://www.nasscom.in/r-chandrasekaran-group-chief-executive-cognizant-technology-solutions-india-pvt-ltd, (2) http://www.financialexpress.com/archive/we-will-look-for-small-acquisitions-in-20100-m-range/1223875/0/ --Tigerson1995 (talk) 08:03, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Tigerson1995, as you were advised above, you cannot repeatedly give "Don't delete" and "Keep" opinions, only one, which you have already done. AllyD (talk) 09:16, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you understand that this is an encyclopedia and not social media to post profiles of businesspeople? People must be notable to have an article here. 331dot (talk) 09:33, 26 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - Someone who got a good education and a decent job. No in-depth, independent coverage.Glendoremus (talk) 21:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. I checked the website sources posted by Tigerson1995 and those sources are showing true information about R. Chandrasekaran. He is a top business man in India and a Wikipedia page about him is fine.--Rishabsingh97 (talk) 06:58, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * No one has said the information is not true, that is not the issue. 331dot (talk) 08:12, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To discuss Arunram's points, which if true, would indicate possibility of a decent article given work here
 * Keep - Clearly notable. The man headed NASSCOM (India's industry body for IT and ITES) as Chairman. Also executive Vice Chairman in one of the most respected IT services companies Cognizant. A query in the Economic times or Business standard will clearly establish his notability. The article needs a lot of improvement in the spirit of WP:HEY. References needed to be added too. Will find time over the next few days. Arunram (talk) 07:37, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - A quick news check ) shows thousands of hits . Some of which seem reputable. Coverage goes back years - e.g. and  as well as current .Icewhiz (talk) 19:55, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notable person, More than 100 news links are there and as per  -  ...Captain......  Tälk tö me...   05:06, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the sources is WP:RS. I can see no notability at all. His claim to fame is that he's Vice Chairman of a company??? Gimme a break, this is nowhere near passing WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Narky Blert (talk) 22:04, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, &mdash; Coffee //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 03:20, 11 April 2017 (UTC) *Delete. He appears to be a good businessman/employee. But there is nothing particularly notable about his business achievements. And there is a lack of major news stories and major publications.

 * Keep per Arunram. Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 05:07, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
