Question: the Rashtrapati Award (formerly the President Award of India -- isn't that a big deal? Something like that in other countries would normally qualify someone for notability per WP:ANYBIO and WP:ACADEMIC.

Routine coverage about awards does not verify WP:GNG. Most of these sources make only passing mention. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 02:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rashtrapati Award is not enough for establishing GNG. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 02:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you should read the subject-specific notability guidelines since this biography clearly meets WP:ANYBIO and WP:ACADEMIC. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 03:52, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DreamRimmer: Which source convinced you that the subject meets WP:ACADEMIC or WP:ANYBIO? BTW, the IP who notified you to this AfD has been blocked for socking.[1] Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 06:04, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Editorkamran, Could you please explain where you discovered information indicating my involvement in this matter? While patrolling the recently accepted drafts on AFC/SC, I came across this AfD. The link you provided in your previous comment is for a different AfD, to which I have not responded. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 06:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the edits of the IP and found that they notified you. But given your explanation, I have removed the tag I had added. Editorkamran (talk) 06:40, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He received Rashtrapati Award (formerly the President Award), which is a significant and national-level award given by the the President of India. He also received the "Sahitya Ratna Award", a significant award in literature. According to WP:NACADEMIC, The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level. and per WP:ANYBIO, The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor.

@Aman.kumar.goel, I was not requested to comment here; please do some investigation before making allegations. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 07:23, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per my own earlier comments and those of others. Notable.

Not a single source provided by you has provided significant coverage to this person. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 03:16, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aman.kumar.goel, I believe you haven't properly read the notability guidelines. This article is compliant with the subject-specific notability guidelines (SNG), so it does not need to adhere to the general notability guidelines (GNG). According to WP:N; topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article. All of the provided information and claims are verified by reliable sources in this article. BTW significant coverage(WP:SIGCOV) is part of WP:GNG. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 05:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For example, all MLAs (legislators) are notable under WP:NPOL (SNG), even though they lack significant coverage (GNG). 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 05:24, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, not a single source provided which has provided significant coverage to the subject. Writing a non-notable book and winning a notable award isn't enough. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 05:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have WP:COI with this, that's why you are saying it but you can not prove it in detai. 43.245.120.228 (talk) 16:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Passes 2nd criteria of NACADEMIC as Rashtrapati Award is "a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.". ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 16:43, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That book is not notable either. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 05:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
