BLP of a police officer, created by a COI editor (who claims to have taken the picture of the subject - nothing wrong with that as such, but it does indicate that there is a conflict of interest). The article contains a lot of promotional fluff, but no actual claim to notability. The sources are all local/trivial coverage. Having a job, even if one is good at it, does not automatically confer notability in Wikipedia. bonadea contributions talk 15:43, 8 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I don't know whether a "Superintendent of Police" is notable [1]. The news coverage appears to be mostly him acting as a spokesperson, and is WP:MILL. Power~enwiki ( talk) 02:50, 9 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I'm not sure why the assumption would be that WP:BEFORE was ignored, and for this article, that includes using WP:INDAFD (which is invaluable information, even though it is not policy or a guideline). The comments above about google.co.in not being used are presumably based on the auto generated links that were created by the AfD template - again, the appropriate searches were made using the relevant search engine, not the one suggested in the template. Not saying I couldn't have missed something, of course, but since nothing has come up in the discussion to satisfy notability claims, it looks like I'm not the only one who fails to find it. (Search result listings are not a source, and nothing in those listings constitutes significant coverage.) -- bonadea contributions talk 15:32, 24 July 2017 (UTC) reply
