Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Puttana Venkatramana Raju
Fine gentleman, but |not notable per our guidelines. I've spent some extra time searching for sources on this one, and am unable to find any, not even passing mentions in any significant journal or book. As Sodabottle has already mentioned, the Rao Bahadur title does not confer notability. It's an honor for the recipient, but just like we don't provide blanket notability for Silver Star recipients, and this title isn't as significant as the SS. College gold medals are good, but not significant in showing notability. Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India) is not like a Fellow of IEEE etc, it's more like a CPA status, with additional qualifiers. The references within the article are sub-local in nature and can at best be taken as evidence of existence
