Head of a non-notable organisation. Fails WP:BIO and WP:NACADEMIC. Struggling to find any independent in-depth coverage. Edwardx (talk) 14:47, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

 * KEEP: Article is still under construction. Externals sources/citations of independent coverage added. Work spans more areas than single organisation. Priyanshug728

there's no dearth of in-depth independent coverage! Many have been added. A basic search would establish the notability. the person concerned is an important educational reformer in India. Please do not delete the article without searching the web. Else, someone else will later someday have to take the time out to create this again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Priyanshug728 (talk • contribs) 08:08, 5 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. No convincing claim to notability, low citations, filled with OR, SPA-created, etc. This seems to be a vanity or fan-page edited by 5 different SPA accts and an anon whose IP traces to the same city in India as the subject. Agricola44 (talk) 15:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC).
 * So, quick question - doesn't, say, recipient of The Elise and Walter A. Haas International Award meet "person has received a highly prestigious award or honor at a national or international level"? Or the number of mentions in google news meet notability? Although, I guess the fan-made bit is true enough...! and yes, I am new to wikipedia. Just want to be clear about criteria here... Initial comment was about absence of in-depth independent coverage of work, so I added those, some old, some new, like coverage from time, nbc news, etc. that was able to find. Thanks for help.

 * No, because the award to which you refer is not a major award. I concede that it has its own WP page, but it is just an award bestowed by a university. In fact, all the sources supporting that article are weblinks from that university. So, I guess I would change my statement from "not a major award" to "not a notable award", with the corollary that the The Elise and Walter A. Haas International Award should probably go to AfD. Agricola44 (talk) 13:15, 10 August 2017 (UTC).
 * Agreed, no reasonable independent view would consider such an award "highly prestigious". Edwardx (talk) 13:38, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright. Makes sense. I just assumed that because many people in that list of recipients had a WP, it was alright to make this one too. Plus I was able to find many articles in press related to work, so thought that should be enough. But what you said makes sense, unless someone can now find a reason to not delete. :| Priyanshug728
 * Comment. Some of the award winners are clearly highly notable. This does not imply that the award itself, let alone all of its winners, are notable. That would be two steps of indirection and even one is too many. See WP:NOTINHERITED. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Clearly a worthy person, but does not attain notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC).
