Fails WP:NBIO and WP:V. I couldn't find any coverage on him other than him issuing statements on behalf of the All India Catholic Union, which is trivial as per WP:GNG. Promotional article, likely created by the subject himself. M4DU7 (talk) 09:54, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I couldn't find sufficient sources to pass WP:GNG. Suonii180 (talk) 13:19, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious as to notability -- He was apparently the lay head of a national Catholic Association in India from 2012 to 2016, after a career in business. The Catholic church is run by bishops and archbishops (who are generally notable), not by laymen. He was thus not the head of the denomination, and thus, in my view, of too lowly a status to be WP-notable. I am willing to be corrected if I am wrong.

Delete the heads of some national Catholic lay organizations are generally notable, I'd argue that this is, for example, the case for the Central Committee of German Catholics, but it varies by country. We don't have evidence that the head of this national Catholic lay organization is notable, so delete.--Jahaza (talk) 14:45, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
