I have conducted a pretty substantial WP:BEFORE and found coverage of his words, interviews with him, but nothing that is about him, or is significant coverage, or is in sources that are both independent of him, and reliable. WP:PRIMARY does allow usage of primary sources such as interviews, and WP:SELFPUB is likely to allow his Amazon book / his own words, but each in a restricted manner.

I have come to the conclusion that he is a decent gentleman doing his job well, supported by a prodigious corporate PR department, but that he fails to exhibit any notability aside from his association with the corporation he chairs and was CEO of in the past. Very few CEOs or corporate chairs are inherently and independently notable, and they may not inherit notability from their employer.

Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: A proper WP:Before should have done here before nomination. The subject is one of the most reputed businessman in India and has been honoured with Padma Bhushan, the highest civilian award in India in 2016 which makes him notable by virtue. See WP:ANYBIO Also he has been covered in depth in multpile independent reliable sources [1] [2] [3] Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 08:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: If Kichu's comments are validated by consensus, this can be closed as keep at any time. Need further input though.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 00:54, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article is not very well written to portray the notability of the person. The problem about Padma Bhushan is that it is given to 20 people every year, and unlike Kichu (talk · contribs) comment, the award is the third-highest in India, not the highest. However, him as the chairman of Maruti Suzuki is notable enough. I think this should not be speedily kept and we still need to wait for more consensus.SunDawn (talk) 09:13, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:SunDawn, actually I wanted to say one of the highest civilian award. But I missed that somehow. WP:ANYBIO says that if the person has received a well-known and significant award or honor he/she is considered notable. Padmabhushan is a well known significant award in the country. He also has plenty of in depth coverage which makes him easily passes GNG and I had already provided some of them in my previous comment. Adding some more source here [4] [5] [6]. Regards
