 * — (View AfD)

Delete due to insufficient reliable sources indicating why this person meets WP:BIO. Claims seem to be: winning the most medals within his college, a few mentions in the paper (in a section even the paper calls "Madras Miscellany" and which is refuted in another article, so reliability is an issue), and winning a residents' trivia competition (twice!). Unsure of speedy status, but given the benefit of the doubt and brought here. Reads like a suspected WP:COI page. Best of luck to him, but does not appear notable in the medical field yet, based on Google and/or Google scholar. -- Kinu t /c  16:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete A google search shows up only two hits for this subject. Moreover, I am not sure if the website www.hinduonnet.com can be defined as a reliable source. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  16:16, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply - Uhh siva, thats the online site for The Hindu, a mainstream paper in India. Baka man  18:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete article full of obvious (self)promotion. In addition to this we don't have articles on every person ever admitted into a certain educational programme, every person who ever published an article or every person who ever won a trivia contest even if it was two times!.

 * Delete. I'm from India, and the magazine he has been featured in is tiny by circulation, and does not have high editorial controls. Further, the trivia competition is not by any body I have heard of. And finally, in the larger scheme of things, he has not accomplished anything which several hundred thousand other Indians may not: won a prize, and mentioned in a local paper. Does not qualify as per Wikipedia:notable Iipmstudent9 18:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete not an article. Danny Lilithborne 20:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The author of this article has expressed some concerns about this AfD, which I have responded to at the talk page for the article. I have referred him to the AfD if he wishes to make his case after familiarizing himself with the policies and guidelines cited therein. -- Kinu t /c  21:20, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
