 * speedy delete only 1 source and that too some minor norwegian source, seems hes not notable in india. Unless something/someone shows that every member of the planning/commission /civil service si notable this is not WP contentLihaas (talk) 06:08, 3 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment This probably hinges on whether the Soderstrom Medal is a notable award. Elsewhere, in relation to Piero Sraffa, I can see it specifically mentioned and described as "a precurser to the Nobel Prize in Economics" ; if that is the case then it will have been a notable award.

 * Keep The subject was recipient of some of India's highest awards, as shown by the page's links to Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan Awards (1960–1969) and Padma Shri Awards (1954–1959). I've added various references to the article, found through Google searches on his name. AllyD (talk) 09:54, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I am surprised by its nomination for deletion. He got Padma Vibhushan.Shyamsunder (talk) 09:58, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Awarded Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan, Padmashri. If this is not notable in India, what is? Inappropriate AFD nomination. Must keep. Arunram (talk) 19:56, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep per all the above. Salih  ( talk ) 06:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - The various positions listed are sufficient for notability, in addition to the academic & other credentials. --Lquilter (talk) 13:35, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * PS -- The Soderstrom in Economics was the highest economics award prior to the endowment of a Nobel Prize in Economics. Keynes won it, among others, and it came from the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences.  I don't know the history of the awards here but it's definitely a strong contender.  May I suggest to the nominator that if you see someone getting an award from the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences (especially a non-Swede!), you carefully consider it before deciding the person is non-notable.  --Lquilter (talk) 13:43, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
