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)

dr y,srihari is member of indian medical association,2,50,000 doctors participating in this association,wikipedia article confirms this. so this article is nice, .....mani

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)[reply]

GOOD ARTICLE -......RAJANI — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.241.61.192 (talk • contribs)

Comment OK, the sock puppets/meatpuppets/Single-purpose accounts have found their way here now, with the usual spamming but failure to address the issues. All the credible opinions are to delete, isn't it about time to put this out of its misery? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:47, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. To put it bluntly, the only people who disagree with deletion are socks/meatpuppets. It's been over a week. Someone should close this. Discant X 08:48, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
DONT Delete - he is a notable doctor,especially for obesity problems, , i wrote some articles in wikipeida,thanking you jimfbleak sir.i am so thank full to you sir,— Preceding unsigned comment added by ydsameeksh (talk • contribs) — ydsameeksh (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Note: The actual poster of the previous was User:115.241.70.78 who signed it "ydsameeksh". I have counted 20 SPA accounts and 17 different IPs who have posted to the article, the article's talk page, WP:REFUND, and now this AfD discussion. It is patently obvious that many, if not all, of them are the same person. Is there any point in a SPI, or should we simply wait for the inevitable deletion of the article and hope that they won't continue the disruption afterwards? --bonadea contributions talk 10:18, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Might not hurt to open one in case any of them do return and cause disruptions. Plus that way there's a more official record of it in case this needs to be cited if there are problems down the road. Then again, it may just be a waste of time. Discant X 11:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I don't suppose it can hurt. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Nsmutte. --bonadea contributions talk 20:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
