Tentative delete. I assume this article should fail WP:BLP. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) : 18:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by a subject of an article fails WP:BLP?. Sorry, are you in anyway familiar with the differences between WP:POLICY and WP:GUIDELINE? Policies explain and describe standards that all users should normally follow, while guidelines are meant to outline best practices for following those standards in specific contexts. Neutral point of view, Verifiability, No original research, WP:What Wikipedia is not, and Biographies of living persons are wikipedia's policies regarding content. In particular, WP:BLP is a WP:POLICY and subject of an article cannot fails a policy but its content may sometimes violate a policy such as a case of WP:COPYVIO but WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:NACTOR, WP:NMUSIC and so on are guidelines that subject of an article can fail. In addirion, I don't think its appropriate to assume that subject of a wikipedia article is not notable. I think this policy should define the notability of a subject before bringing it here for a consensus to be reached rather than to assume that a subject of an article is not notable.

Keep– Subject of the article meet WP:GNG. It has been the subject of multiple independent Reliable sources.
