 * Keep- His PILs had generated a storm of debates in India(As a resident of India I say this).The persons may not be notable himself but his actions certainly are notable as they have affected the Indian education system WIZRADICAL (talk) 10:32, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge into Uday Foundation, an article about his company - because that's what most of the references in his article are actually about. Exemplo347 (talk) 10:36, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * After much thought it seems like Exemplo347 is right merge the article to Uday FoundationWIZRADICAL (talk) 09:26, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Winning awards should not be criteria of notability. Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi never won any padma award but straight away won Nobel peace price . I feel this page should not be deleted or merged with any other page. Some people prefer to speak though their work and you should recognise the same . He is also a writer with various published articles   Thanks Shibanihk (talk) 11:22, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge--into Uday Foundation. Winged Blades Godric 13:11, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 15:23, 14 April 2017 (UTC) Keep There are more articles which supports his work   Some PILs or RTIs are either filed by the name of individuals or in name of non profit but lets accept that small grassroot organizations have very limited resource it is ultimately the work of founder only and also they do not get engaged in any paid news or self glorification.Shibanihk (talk) 11:08, 18 April 2017 (UTC) You only get one !vote.

 * None of these articles are about him - they're about his foundation. A merge is the only appropriate course of action here. Exemplo347 (talk) 17:09, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I hope you read it carefully, articles are about his contribution towards the foundation & selfless work for the society :- Ref 1: " Rahul decided to start the Uday Foundation in honour of his son to provide quality healthcare for the underprivileged, especially the children." "Rahul says that it is always tough trying to strike a balance in life, especially when one has a sick child at home, but says that the family of four (they have a daughter as well) is well up for the challenges. Once again, he comes back to empathy. “We must sensitise our society better. "

Ref 2: story of "his" son who was born with birth defects and inspired him to start this foundation"

Ref3: Rahul Verma, of the Uday Foundation for Congenital Defects and Rare Blood Groups, which exposed the AIIMS deaths after a request under freedom of information laws, said: “If you are rich in this country you go to a private doctor. You certainly don’t put your child up to be experimented on.”

Ref4: Rahul Verma, a Delhi-based activist and founder of non-governmental organisation Uday Foundation for Congenital Defects, had filed the RTI with National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). Also please check these links about "his" article as writer  Shibanihk (talk) 18:20, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep Read this and Understand the depth of writing, and what he is doing. He deserves to be on Wikipedia. HelloDolly89 (talk) 09:00, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep meets notability requirements. --David Tornheim (talk) 13:29, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no notability except with respect to the foundation. One article is sufficient. Two articles for relatively minor figures of this sort normally indicates an attempt to get as many articles as possible, otherwise known as promotionalism . We shuld not be encouraging it.  There is a type of publication that does include accouts about people which are designed for emotional impact--tabloids, but we're NOT TABLOID. DGG ( talk ) 02:07, 24 April 2017 (UTC)


 * 'Emotional impact tabloid??? Well, if it's time to disparage someone working on grass-root. I rest my case.. Shibanihk (talk) 02:30, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete already mentioned at Uday Foundation; no independent notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:42, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable per nom and DGG. Ifnord (talk) 20:47, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
