Very likely a paid-for article or at least heavy UPE involvement post-creation. I won't PROD or speedy because the subject might be notable so it's worth a debate but the sourcing in the article as stands is paper thin and the article is essentially a CV in prose format. There are a few rock-solid reliable sources cited but they don't appear to say anything much about this gentleman. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Saumitra Rawat, honored with the prestigious Padma Shri, showing his dedication and service in the medical field. His recognition alongside Dr. Ashok Seth, whose career is detailed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashok_Seth, marks a significant moment in medical excellence.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Rawat's expertise was integral to India's response. As a member of a select team, he was pivotal in strategizing medical oxygen allocation nationwide, showcasing his commitment to public health.

In the eyes of many, including myself, he stands not just as a medical professional, but as a symbol of hope and resilience, deserving of utmost respect and admiration in medicine. 122.180.181.87 (talk) 14:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment IP removed two deletes from this AfD: [1], since self-reverted; closer please double-check history before closing. Also voted twice [2][3] this is getting comical. Good day—RetroCosmos talk 14:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
* Strong Keep. I researched the latest versions and the history, and the links posted above. Seems like the page has not been edited since 2022 and the most recent edits happened in quick successions without reliable sources. The current version is same as the one in June 2022. The page should be further updated with these latest sources.

Instead of turning it into a big argument, let's look at the facts. Wikipedia itself says Saumitra Rawat got the Padma Shri in 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Padma_Shri_award_recipients_(2010%E2%80%932019), a really important award in India. The government must have checked all the details before giving him such a big honor. So, instead of making a big deal, maybe someone just updated their profile with information that hadn't been changed for a while. 103.90.183.126 (talk) 16:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which is fine, but he's had no media coverage in 9 years now, other than doing surgery on famous people. As inspiring as that is, we need more than "doctor does surgery on important person" articles. Oaktree b (talk) 20:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let's avoid putting someone down just because we haven't learned enough about them. I found many articles from years after 2015, and I'm sharing some with you for your information(https://theleaflet.in/sc-forms-12-member-task-force-to-devise-methodology-for-allocation-of-medical-oxygen-across-india-covid19/). Dr. Rawat treats everyone the same, and I don't believe doctors distinguish between rich and poor. Here's another article with facts instead of just words (https://www.bhaskar.com/news/up-doctor-saumitra-rawat-got-padma-shri-award-will-give-free-treatment-to-poor-4951075-pho.html).

We aren't here to elevate or put anyone down, we need sourcing that talks about them at length, or there is no notability here. Neither source is useful, the first one is just a mention of the person in a list of people, the second one is barely half a page of text. Oaktree b (talk) 16:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: Dr. Saumitra's old wiki page needs updating. The confusion arises from no recent changes since he received the award from the Government of India. Adding reliable new links would give a more current understanding of his noble work. Rather than removing the page, let's update it with the latest references.
