Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Page was created again after Jacob Thomas, PhD was speedily deleted. This new version has more references and content purporting to demonstrate notability. His successor Lokanath Behera has an article, but that doesn't justify this article's existence (see WP:OSE). Would like to get community input this time. I amsajin keeps trying to post the same content over and over again despite repeated deletions. — Stevey7788 (talk) 18:27, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is notable per WP:ANYBIO, he is a recipient of a notable award i.e. President's Police Medal as well as other honours. I am trying to develop the article, please bear with me for a while till I complete the job.--jojo@nthony (talk) 19:21, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I see you've redirected it to Jacob Thomas (police officer). — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:52, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a bit on the article. Guess it is now good enough to stay.--jojo@nthony (talk) 18:10, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

'Will Reserve judgement until article is developed. At this time not WP:ANYBIO not WP:GNG. Lubbad85 (talk) 15:18, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to disagree with Lubbad85, the subject has received a major award, President's Police Medal, and another notable one from a regional perspective Manorama NewsMaker of the Year, and that makes him notable per WP:ANYBIO.--jojo@nthony (talk) 05:39, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep jojo@nthony I guess you are right. He received an award so he fits WP:ANYBIO Lubbad85 (talk) 14:16, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Fair challenge but article now improved. We now have close to WP:SIGCOV in several WP:RS where he is the subject, for example: The New Indian Express [1] [2] The Times of India [3], Mint [4], The Hindu [5]. I haven't checked whether his Indian-language have been reviewed independently to give WP:NAUTHOR. However, his WP:GNG is adequate. Britishfinance (talk) 15:06, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
