Indian non-governmental diasporic awards[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article appears to be a wholesale piece of WP:OR or an essay, arguing for the validity of various awards given to members of Indian society or the Indian diaspora. Such awards are often touted as signs of notability in biographies of the awardees, and this article seems to serve no purpose other than to bolster these claims of notability, while not actually citing any sources, but rather relying on emotional arguments to make its case.

Delete - This is an essay and not an encyclopedia article. Any actual awards can be discussed individually. I don't see the topic of non-governmental bodies awarding things to members of the diaspora as a coherent topic. The article provides no useful sourcing. My own search din't find anything but with such an amorphous subject, it's kind of hard to figure what to search for. -- Whpq (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as essay, would need to be recreated entirely to be of encyclopedic use. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 01:47, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
