There's a lecture series in the subject's honor thanks to a grant donated by his wife, but otherwise I'm not able to find any significant coverage of the subject, having searched DuckDuckGo, Google Scholar, and Proquest for several variations of the subject's name. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:38, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see enough coverage even on some of the military publications. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 03:52, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Held a very senior position and recipient of the Padma Bhushan, only 1,270 of which have been awarded in nearly 70 years, which would seem to qualify per WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:16, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1,270 awards over 70 years doesn't scream ANYBIO to me. By contrast, the higher-level Indian civilian awards, Padma Vibhushan and Bharat Ratna, do seem like they would qualify for ANYBIO. I'd be more inclined to assume notability based on the subject's civil service position if we had any sources with biographical information other than the one written by his wife as part of the grant donation to the University of Mumbai. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 14:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill can you please wait till I modify the article refs? A simple Google book search proves him a notable person. _{- Signed by}NeverTry4Me ^Talk 15:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep recipient of the Padma Bhushan award is notable. _{- Signed by}NeverTry4Me ^Talk 13:20, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Recipients of Padma Bhushan are notable. Indeed recipients of Padma Shri (the fourth-highest civilian award, one grade under Padma Bhushan) are notable. --Dwaipayan (talk) 19:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't seem that there's a general agreement on that, based on the many non-linked names at the articles listing Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan winners. Particularly in the absence of RS with biographical information, redirecting to a list entry seems far preferable to a stub. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:32, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
