Deletion of Vijay Prakash Singh

Comment: per . ndia contributor here, so believe I can present more insight on the awards and subject notability. The Padma Shree is given to persons with large social contributions, which generally makes them notable for an article. There may be exceptions but this subject is not one. He is a figure of authority in the Indian state of Bihar for  Gastroenterology he being the Head of Department of Gastroenterology at PMCH, Bihar's biggest publicly owned college and hospital. He is also a member of the executive council of the Medical Council of India, which is a very important post held by top level doctors.  I understand that the sourcing is hard to find, which is mainly attributed to . The regional language is Hindi and print and TV media are more prominent in this part of the world in comparison to internet. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/17-lakh-Hepatitis-C-patients-in-Bihar/articleshow/39071383.cms The Times of India published an interview of the subject on the topic of Hepatitis and https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/It-was-a-great-surprise-Srivastava/articleshow/35706132.cms here

Comment: as meeting , and per my arguments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anil Kumar Bhalla that equating the Padma Shri with the OBE is false. The OBE is a fourth level award within the Order of the British Empire, but there are other awards which can be given to civilians in the UK which are higher than any class of the Order of the British Empire

Comment: I've been examining sources for 10 minutes, the existing sources haven't been well utilitised.  Between the line our subject ''may'' have done some public Hepatitus campaigns and ther is talk of his published perr review'ed research.  I haven't specificly found that on a search so far and  there's other with the same name to cloud the searching.  One of my concerns is copyvio's and reverse copyvio's and the interjection by Xxanthippe above means I'd likely ask for a refund if the community decides to delete this.  Should the community determine a Padma Shri is insufficient in itself for article retention in mainspace I would agree it is in itself sufficient for any minimally reasonable request to restore to draft ... (avoids copyvio, reverse copyvio, attribution and  issues. there is a lot of digitally scanned content coming online at the moment so new sources are continuing to arise.  OK if it get forgot after 6 months .... then so be it

Comment: The fourth level Padma award, especially for Indians, does not mean a thing.  It can be given for all sorts of political connections.  Other than an incidental mention in an article about someone else, which is hardly an example of a |reliable source, let alone a scholarly source that would be par for the course for an academic, there is nothing by way of the usual criteria by which WP accords notability

Comment: In continuation of my Keep vote above, just as I had guessed about SIGCOV sources being available in Hindi, here is one from Outlook (Indian magazine) Where the subject's biography, personal life, education, career, publication etc is covered in great detail in Hindi article, which should be sufficient to satisfy the .{{cite news |title=पद्मश्री डॉ. विजय प्रकाश सिंह |url=https://www.outlookhindi.com/bihar-icons-2019/vijay-prakash-singh |accessdate=4 December 2019 |work=outlookhindi.com |issue=PadmaShree Dr Vijay Prakash Singh |language=en}} This also proves that more such sources can be dug up from offline sources.
