Comment: I see  mentioned.  is a presumption of notability - "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is '''presumed''' to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." (my emphasis). There are other routes to a presumption of notability, WP:SOLDIER is relevant here

Comment: Air commodores are notable per  #1 #2. That's why he's notable, not for flying a particular type of plane. This has been completely unaddressed by the nom and two of the above posters

Comment: While I strongly disagree with how expansive SOLDIER is (someone in the business world who supervises as few as 500 employees is what they call a "middle manager," and sure as hell not presumptively notable), it's the SNG on the ground.  SNG being subordinate to the GNG, which the subject just does not pass.  Suggestions that he "probably will have more coverage in the future" violates , and it just doesn't cut it to suggest that there must be non-English sources out there, when we're dealing with an officer in the military of the country with the world's largest English-language media.  Beyond that, black-letter policy requires not that sources ''may'' exist, when challenged, but that editors wishing to keep an article prove that they do.  That burden of proof has not been met

Comment: while in India Air commodore rank satisfies #2 of , that is just a presumption of notability and I don't that see  is satisfied as the only notability seems to be the trivial  of being the first Indian Air Force pilot to fly a Rafale which in itself is not notable. We don't have pages for first X nationality to fly Y aircraft and shouldn't start doing so
