Fails WP:GNG, not covered by any WP:RS except official government websites. May meet WP:ANYBIO through awards, but many Kirti Chakra recipients do not have their own pages, and again, the subject has no RS coverage for the awards. Yeeno (talk) 🍁 18:01, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:BASIC. Mztourist (talk) 03:04, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a Google Books and newspapers search shows he does not meet the GNG due to a lack of significant coverage in RS. Coverage is basically limited to his awards only, very little general biographical information is available. The highest award he has received is the second highest non-combat award, roughly equivalent to a non-gallantry British DSO in the old money. Not high enough to meet the ANYBIO standard of receiving a "well-known and significant award or honor", IMHO. Perhaps if he goes on to higher ranks he will become notable, but not at present.

Keep Meet WP:GNG Nungleppam Buddhimanta Singh was awarded with India's Second highest peacetime gallantry award the Kirti Chakra, third highest peacetime distinguished service award Vishisht Seva Medal and the Sena Medal for gallantry.

Meet WP:RS

Kirti Chakra award is cited in the two official websites https://www.gallantryawards.gov.in/awardee/3560 and (Gallantry Awards Government) https://www.theindiapost.com/defence/kirti-chakra-awardees-2008/amp/ (India Post)

Vishisht Seva Medal is cited in the two government websites – http://sainiksamachar.nic.in/englisharchives/2008/sep01-08/h13.html (Sainik Samachar) http://pibmumbai.gov.in/scripts/detail.asp?releaseId=E2010PR168 (Press of India Bureau)(User_talk:Kumarsaikat), 9 July 2021

All of these are just government award listings that offer neither the significant coverage nor the independence required by WP:GNG. Yeeno (talk) 🍁 07:13, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Multiple articles in English about his awards and also providing some background. With the amount of coverage in English there would surly be many more and in-depth articles in Hindi. Meets WP:Basic, "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." Jamesallain85 (talk) 15:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as there are multiple articles about his awards, even just looking at English sources.Jackattack1597 (talk) 22:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please provide examples of some of these? All I'm finding are webpages and articles that always list him as one of many honoured in that year, lacking WP:SIGCOV. Yeeno (talk) 🍁 23:18, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not nearly enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, nor WP:NBASIC. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:20, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the points already made by Jamesallain85 and Kumarsaikat. Particularly it would be good to hear from someone who can speak the local language and may be able to find better non-English sources. NemesisAT (talk) 19:12, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Sourcing still a bit on the weak side, can someone please look for non-English sources and report back?
