Non-notable biography, created by COI user, multiple article issues Shem (talk) 16:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete This article is about a police officer about whom no notability can be established in accordance with Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic_criteria - that is, he is not the subject of any significant published secondary source material. In addition, the creating user (who has now retired) seems to have a COI, but has stated on the talk page "please go ahead and delete it". It has been blanked by an IP already, and would be best deleted as soon as possible. Shem (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Er...notwithstanding all the keep calls he stil doesn't meet the Basic_criteria. In all the references except one he is not the subject. While I've nothing against the guy, he simply doesn't meet the requirement for notability. Shem (talk) 02:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - According to the article, he was an Inspector General for a metropolitan area which is equivalent to a police commissioner, or head of a police force. I was able to find this article, and I suspect there is more available with some more searching. -- Whpq (talk) 17:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I read the Express India article, and I'm surprised that we are considering for deletion an article about an IPS (India Police Service)
Srinigar, where Vaid was Inspector General, is a city of nearly 1 million persons. NinetyNineFennelSeeds (talk) 23:31, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply

Keep per NinetyNineFennelSeeds. Inspectror General of Police is the top cop in a city. Nominator's main concern seems to be COI which can be removed by editing. Salih (talk) 04:20, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It does not make sense, why is someone here so eager to delete this article? It has already verified many initially developed doubts by providing authentic references. I suggest, this article should be called off from Afd and improved by slowly and steadly. I believe the editors have managed to find more than enough references to avoid it deletion. I would request everybody to find more references and material to further improve this article. Tv-med (talk) 18:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Till date, nine references have been provided ranging from Vaid's date and place of birth to his recent deputation to
  BPR&D New Delhi. Many unconfirmed posts in the article have been authenticated. Tv-med (talk) 13:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply
