There are a number of problems with this entry. The single reference has a passing mention to the subject about presumably (the entry is vague) a Commonwealth Games gold medal which I would consider notable. However, the medal listing in 1982 Commonwealth Games lists others and although people sometimes are known but other names I can find no evidence that is the case or another that lists him as a medal winner to confirm. In addition there is a claim of 4th place in the 1980 World Championship which did not occur. What remains does not confer notability and I must say since they are also unsupported that everything is suspect.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:19, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete – I checked each and every Indian Commonwealth Games medallist till date – results are available under the 'EVENT' label of the United World Wrestling's database. But I still couldn't find his name. Even searching different combination of his name at the database didn't fetch anything. So, it seems a hoax. BTW, only similar name that I could find was Ramniwas Yadav, who finished fourth in the 1994 World Cadet Championships. - NitinMlk (talk) 12:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't know if it's a hoax, but his notability is suspect. I don't know what "1980 world championship" he finished 4th in, but it wasn't FILA since they don't hold world championships during Olympic years.  There doesn't appear to have any supporting evidence to show he meets WP:NSPORTS and there's a lack of coverage that supports a claim of him meeting WP:GNG.
