Delete although I could be convinced otherwise if the biography mentioned as a source were back up with some more general note. Otherwise it feels extremely promotional. Mangoe (talk) 18:12, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Nominator offers no reason for deletion. --MelanieN (talk) 05:00, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that people want to evaluate this nomination on its merits - and the nominator has now chimed in with a rationale - so see my comment below. --MelanieN (talk) 03:12, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep Although I was going to speedy close this following WP:BOLD, I think that an admin is best to do that. Reasons for my !vote are (1)the nominator has not provide any rational, (2)the article needs work, but I feel that it stills meets the notability guidelines, (3)AfD is not for cleanup. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 11:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the speedies With all due respect to procedures, I have taken the time to look this one over, and if it is summarily closed I'm simply going to re-nom it since the subject seems to me to be plainly NN. So why don't we save the disk space and keep going with this nom? Mangoe (talk) 12:33, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This person is not notable at all. As a matter of fact; his son (Niranjan) is a prominent businessman & well known person in India but I am not sure even if he qualifies for an article. Cheers AKS 15:33, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, well, evaluating it on the merits: I can't find anything notable about this man. Weak Delete. I wondered if Hiranandani Hospital might make him notable, but even the website of this brand-new hospital doesn't seem to say so;[1] in fact according to the article the hospital was named after him by his sons who built it. He did get the third highest civilian award given by the government of India, but a lot of people get this award - dozens per year - so I am not sure if it conveys automatic notability or not. BTW someone might want to take a look at the article about his son, Navin Hiranandani, who seems to be notable only for his manner of death. --MelanieN (talk) 03:12, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MelanieN, thanks. As I said earlier, both father and son (Navin) are not notable and during my research I have not come across anything that make them notable. Besides, Hiranandani is a family name and I am not sure if naming a hospital or for that matter an establishment should make the person notable enough. I am feeling tempted to write on second son Niranjan; will review. Cheers AKS 07:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only hint of notability I see with this individual is that he has a son who warranted some attention. The rest is the equivalent of a roommate connection written as an advertisement. DarthBotto_talk•cont 22:15, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
