The article fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. The sources primarily focus on the subject's demise, which does not justify the existence of an independent Wikipedia article. I recommend a speedy deletion, as the article has little to no chance of surviving a deletion discussion. — MimsMENTOR ^talk 09:02, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Seems to hold the third highest police rank and served as a director of a cabinet secretarial, which both seem to be about mid-level civil service positions. This doesn't strike me as meeting notability. Appears to be in senior management, which isn't usually high enough to meet notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 14:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He was DGP of Haryana and DGP is the highest rank of police officers in India. Ref. and he is also recipient of President Police Medal which is the highest decoration of police officers in India. Ref. TheSlumPanda (talk) 11:44, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete speedy under what grounds? The article attempts a claim of significance, but seems like a fine case of BLP1E. This IPS officer was never covered in the media before 2018. My search yielded nothing substantial other than articles about his passing.Chanel Dsouza (talk) 15:04, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe the article attempts a claim of significance. While being a high-ranking police officer and a medal recipient is notable, it doesn't necessarily meet the GNG or the criteria for significance as outlined in WP:SIGCOV. Aside from news coverage of his passing, no other reliable sources have been found, nor are they expected to be. This is why I recommended a speedy deletion. — MimsMENTOR ^talk 20:20, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
