Biography of a doctor makes no claim of notability sufficient to satisfy WP:BIO. Highest claim is that he ran a 350-bed hospital. Associate professor, no notable academic achievements, a handful of low citation count articles, nothing to satisfy WP:NPROF.

I have done WP:BEFORE searches and have found no significant independent coverage although his name does get a lot of search hits, too many to read all of them. I'd reconsider my nomination if someone turns up some significant coverage (but see next paragraph).

This article was tagged for WP:BIO then WP:PROD but editor @user:Monophile removed the PROD tag and re-added the BIO template after adding links that simply mention or quote the article subject, plus self-penned or promotional articles like this, none of which are significant coverage. If new sources can't bring it up to BIO, it should be deleted. Oblivy (talk) 03:39, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom. Fails WP:NBIO and WP:NPROF. Mostly sources with passing mention and entries and some are primary workplace sources and promotional WP:NEWSORGINDIA and does not show any significant achievements noteworthy nationally and internationally to satisfy notability about the subject role as doctor, practitioner, gynecologist and Professor.

Keep Sufficient sources mentioned for notability, so i'm also keeping The Indian Express 2 The Times of India Hindustan Times It has been written about him in big Indian newspaper, since 2020, he is working as a superintendent in the Cama Hospital — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monophile (talk • contribs) 12:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC) — Monophile (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment Today @Monophile the article creator has twice added information to the article without providing a reliable source. Just 24 hours ago they removed an unsourced awards section stating that no notable sources had been found. Today's edits first reinstated the awards section, then just one supposed award, twice been supported by cites that do not mention any award.
The three citations added today just quote Dr. Palve in the context of reporting on the hospital. That's neither significant coverage nor evidence of his notability. Even if the hospital was notable he wouldn't inherit that.
While I am somewhat sympathetic to Monophile's patent desire to see this article kept, WP:HEY requires actually moving the article towards notability. In my opinion, these are low quality cites and dubious claims and shouldn't move the needle at all. Oblivy (talk) 15:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Oblivy I have no interest in keeping this article or not but my aim is to bring out the truth, Maybe I was wrong there once I removed the info and re-added it but you removed it again And here was a lot for me to understand, thank you for that. Yes, I must say that as doctor-related information that I have searched about him. This made me think we might have something to look at in the coverage of why this page should be on Wikipedia, some issues in the page have to be corrected and thanks again for letting me know all this.Monophile (talk) 11:27, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes GNG I don't believe the nominator checked all some other languages significant coverage, I find it difficult to assess the reliability of Indian sources. I saw, notability satisfy WP:BIO. WP:NPROF appear to be fulfilling No valid nomination rationale is provided.

Delete. I see absolutely no sign of the kind of academic impact we are looking for with NPROF. That leaves GNG: sources in article are either passing mentions, or in junky publications. Looks WP:TOOSOON at best. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:26, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. H-index is in low single digits, and nothing else to indicate passing WP:ACADEMIC. No pass of WP:GNG either, as the references cited are either brief mentions or promotional sites or non independent sources. Nsk92 (talk) 08:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
