Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/R Viswanathan
nbsp; The WP:Notability of a topic exists independently of either the existence of an article about the topic on Wikipedia, or the content of any such article.&nbsp; Therefore, the absence of notability cannot be determined by only looking at the article.&nbsp; Analysis that leads to a delete outcome should also consider our policy at  (alternatives to deletion), which is a widely accepted standard that all editors should normally follow.&nbsp
