 * – ( View AfD View log )

Passed AfD, but I don't think he's notable, & there are no adequate 3rd party sources. Only likely notability would be as a co-founder of Compassites--what might be possible is an article on that organization.  DGG ( talk ) 21:22, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not seeing a real assertion of notability here. Disavian (talk) 00:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Clarification requested: - I see no previous AFD. Does the nominator mean that it passed CSD? -- Whpq (talk) 20:41, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * He did, yes. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:58, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - There are hints at notability as an Indian businessman. This article lists him amongst "[p]rominent independent directors".  He is quoted here and there as well, but I can find no substantial coverage about him to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 20:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am unconvinced as to his notability as a business person.  He appears to be an accountant, who contributed (as one of 30+ authors) to a book, and then had a couple of startups.  That is a country mile away from notable. --Legis (talk - contribs) 00:47, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
