Comment - It's true that the article doesn't really explain the grounds for notability, but I think the award may support the case. That's why I didn't do a speedy deletion. Deb (talk) 12:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Keep: Padma Shri is one of highest civilian awards in India, a recipient is noteworthy. References are notable to prove the Padma shri claim. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:53, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change vote as reference added. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 13:37, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. (after edit conflict). The Padma Shri has only been awarded to 2095 people in over 50 years in a country with a population of over a billion, so its recipients are undoubtably notable. I've put a reference in the article to verify that the subject received it. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. same reason as provided by User:Phil Bridger. Even google books show three results, though only in snippet view, and supporting Padmashri award info.--GDibyendu (talk) 09:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Phil Bridger. Salih (talk) 14:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per above. --Dwaipayan (talk) 20:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Winning Padmashri definitely makes him notable. This article is a good reminder that not everything, alas, is googleable. Abecedare (talk) 22:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, easily judged notable. Note that the nominator seems to have not even googled the title or contacted the newcomer author at User talk:Aaron3767 or Talk:Ajit Chandra Chatterjee. This is too bitey. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
