I believe that this article falls under BIO1E. Although Capt. Thapar was honored with a Vir Chakra for his act of bravery, there is almost no other information about him which asserts his notability. Shovon (talk) 16:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete The award is the third level of Indian bracery awards -- see Vir Chakra; if it were the highest level, there ould be a case for inclusion. DGG (talk) 20:24, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: It is indeed always sad when someone dies at the hands of another. However, this entry presents the case of a person who was not of major nobility (prominence or distinction;)before death. The medal, that was received, is a nice gift of appreciation and respect but is not like having received a major Indian medal, a Knight of the Bath, Legion of Honour, Order of the Garter, Golden Fleece or state or internationally reciginzed honour, knighthood or award  Royalhistorian (talk) 09:19, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability is more or less automatic following a Param Vir Chakra but not this lesser, though still distinguished, medal.  See also WP:NOT.  Eluchil404 (talk) 04:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: I think people are getting hung up on the Vir Chakra award, this is not why he's notable. He's notable for his actions in the Kargil War, I Googled him and it turns out he was portrayed in a Bollywood film; LOC Kargil (now remember all you Americans, Wikipedia is international, just because you don't watch Bollywood, doesn't mean it's not popular/huge in Asia).

 * Keep: I totally agree with Ryan. Vijayanth Thapar is extremely famous in India for his actions in the Kargil War. The mere fact that he might not necessarily turn in lots of results in a google search does not mean he is not notable. --PhyrnxWarrior (talk) 10:19, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
