I've removed some spam, but he seems of dubious notability, and the references are very suspect even after I've removed links to Yellow pages and Wikipedia lists of Indian medical associations Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:20, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - all except one of the references were business directory listings or adverts for the person, and they have been removed. There is no indication that this person is notable as an actor or as a medical doctor. The Global Medical Association is perhaps a notable organisation, but it doesn't follow that its president is a notable person. And the fact that he is a member of the Indian Medical Association is not a claim to notability. --bonadea contributions talk 09:16, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:GNG. One reference about a movie he was in does not qualify as "significant coverage." I too once appeared in a commercial movie, but that doesn't make me notable enough for WP. I could find no information on the medical organization over which he presides. ubiquity (talk) 15:24, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please note: A new article about the same person has appeared at Dr sreeharii. ubiquity (talk) 21:59, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It has now been CSD as A10.- McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 23:32, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The following comment was misplace at WP:REFUND:

r .srihari is president of global medical association. nearly 40,000 doctors are participating in this association, he is also member of indian medical association,2,50,000 doctors of india participating in this associations. wikipedia articles clearly states the importence of indian medical association and global medical association. so the article y.srihari is good . so i am requesting you dont delate it.............................naaga -115.241.109.31 (talk) 11:38, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Comment I find it surprising that an organisation claiming 40,000 members seems to have no internet footprint whatsoever Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:11, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I left a note at the article's talk page asking for verification of some of these claims, in the hopes that one such source would enable the tracking down of other sources. No reply thus far, however, and I had a great deal of difficulty finding sources that did much more than verify that Srihiari exists. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 00:42, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/FYI: I have requested semi-protection of the article - not because of all the sock/meatpuppetry that is obviously going on there, but the AfD template has been removed by six different IPs at this point and that's simply disruptive. --bonadea contributions talk 11:29, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected now Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the article does not demonstrate that the subject meets criteria for notability as set out in WP:GNG. The lack of reliable sources is a real problem. As pointed out already, being a member of a professional association is not in itself notable. I haven't come across the Global Medical Association. Drchriswilliams (talk) 17:11, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Apparent lack of notability (even for the org), not to mention the number of accounts apparently dedicated to telling us that this is a "nice article". §FreeRangeFrog^croak 02:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the article doesn't seem to demonstrate notability in reliable sources. --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 06:01, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: someone has written an article for Global medical association, which I have tagged for WP:A7 because they do not assert anything notable about the organization, beyond its existence, and because, of the three references given, one does not mention the subject (being only a transcript of the statute under which they claim it is registered), one is a bad link, and the third does not appear to mention the subject (I can't tell for sure, as it's written in a language I can't read and is image-only so I cannot apply a translator). GMA still eludes searches under its English name. ubiquity (talk) 17:50, 2 March 2015 (UTC) *Dont Delete -dr y.srihari article is very good,because it is related to doctors who are saving people lifes. dr y.srihari is famous doctor of india , and also his movie o manasa preminchake is very famous and super hit, he is very famous in india ....thanking you sir divya[reply]
