Doesn't appear to meet biographical or academic notability guidelines. He was cited in a BBC News article about a child mortality spike, but the coverage was not primarily about him. The other two sources display error messages for me so I cannot analyse them. Opting for AFD over PROD as I have tried searching in Marathi and Hindi but I am in no way an expert in those languages so input community would be appreciated.

I find it very difficult to believe that someone who has been director general of health services of a state with a population of over 100 million would not be notable. In English I can only find sources that do little more than verify his position, but I don't read Marathi or Hindi. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:33, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of coverage. While Director General is an important post in many civil service departments, I am not finding any reports about the person. He is quoted in many places of course, but nothing in detail seems to be available. In general, civil servants do not get the same media limelight as elected representatives in India, as they usually work behind the scenes.--DreamLinker (talk) 03:41, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
