A medical student who has written 12 blog posts on The Huffington Post There are no independent, reliable sources that go into any detail. The Washington Post reference is a letter to the editor. Others are just quotes from by him or point out his research paper. Bgwhite (talk) 19:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

The publications listed in BMC Pedaitrics and AIDS are peer reviewed publications. The other articles are written by independent journalists/NGOS (and have no quotes by Anand Reddi). There is no evidence that the information provided is false and information is credited with verifiable attributions. The article is valid and reputable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilkistudent (talk • contribs) 19:34, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

• Weak delete Doesn't pass WP:GNG right now. Could pass this threshold in future though. --Artene50 (talk) 04:58, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
• Keep passes WP:GNG. References updated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilkistudent (talk • contribs) 15:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
• Delete Autobiographical article written by user:Wilkistudent. He is undoubtedly a good student and may become notable in the future, but for now he does not pass either WP:BIO, which would require information or commentary ABOUT him from independent reliable sources (the sources in the article are either by him, or are from sources such as blogs and letters to the editor), or under WP:ACADEMIC (which would require significant and highly-cited publications), or under WP:AUTHOR (simply being a published or HuffPost writer is not sufficient to meet this guideline). Nobody is claiming that the information is false or unverified - just that the subject does not meet the notability criteria to have an article here. This is an international encyclopedia and there have to be standards for inclusion. --MelanieN (talk) 17:28, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
