Fails WP:BIO. Coverage is run of the mill. 9 of the 17 references are same details regard becoming chairman. The rest are run of the mill business news not related to him.  scope_creep Talk  23:14, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Per nominator. Subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains (talk) 01:21, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with above. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:02, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: passes criterion 1 of WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME - Chair of NSE BSE top 30 companies. Meeanaya (talk) 18:17, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That is not a notability criteria either merely a description of an outcome and is not valid  scope_creep Talk  22:29, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete, Not significant coverage in RS, as per above Alex-h (talk) 09:16, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - No reliable source. Barca (talk) 13:02, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep A top-level manager of an enormous company. Clearly notable enough for an article. Elowa (talk) 15:51, 16 September 2019 (UTC) — Elowa (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep. The answer to a poorly sourced article about a notable person is to try to find more sources, not delete the article. The article needs cleanup and better sourcing, not deletion. Killer Chihuahua 18:42, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It is not a case of clean-up and adding new references. The reasons the references are so terrible is that there is no coverage to supply better ones. So there is no question of notability. It is not there.   scope_creep Talk  21:34, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, he's Chair and CEO of a company that's been around since 1910, so that's at least borderline notable. I cannot determine how notable the company itself is, because it's article has issues of its own. Le Sigh. I'll let the closing admin decide how much weight to give that one tenuous rationale for notability. Killer Chihuahua 00:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Subject highly notable and appears to pass WP:GNG. Spmilan (talk) 02:55, 17 September 2019 (UTC) — Spmilan (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 14:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Although the Managing Director of a large company, I feel the sources are poor in coverage and most point to him being the new chairman. Not deep enough coverage by sources to make me want to keep, unfortunately. Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 16:09, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, so a redirect or selective merge to ITC Limited is out of the question? Coolabahapple (talk) 09:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * According to this academic paper the subject was ranked 7th best performing CEO in the world by the Harvard Business Review. I see that the direct link doesn't work for me, but it does when I access it via this Google Scholar search. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:09, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I suspect is probably a mistake in that document, as I can't verify it. I can verify the previous CEO, YC Deveshwar made the Harvard Business Review, curiously also the 7th best performing CEO in the world as shown in this . When you search for 'Harvard business review Best Performing CEOs in the World Sanjiv Puri' nothing shows. I think it may be a simple mistake.   scope_creep Talk  19:31, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I have also been unable to corroborate that claim, and, in the light of a previous CEO being 7th on that list, I agree that this looks very much like a mistake. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:11, 20 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete possible paid spam and the subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. GSS (talk |c|em ) 04:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
