[edit] M.Nagappa

I cannot establish that this physician is verifiably important. AED 21:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete the only notability assertion is that he is "famous". Which he is probably not outside of his small town. (|-- UlTiMuS ^{( U • T • C | M • E )} 21:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable. rhmoore 22:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect Delete nn. Is it common practice in Indian English to write a name this way? I haven't seen it in British English.--Kchase T 23:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

  Yes it is common in South India. (with a space that is) =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  This is the way Names are written, especially in Suuth India. In this case the person's name is Nagappa and M denotes the first letter of his father's anme See here for more information (especially the last para of that section)Doctor Bruno 09:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

  Thanks both for the answers. Interesting read. I'm also comfortable with a redirect, perhaps merging a bare minimum of relevant content.--Kchase T 19:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Director of a teaching InstitutionDoctor Bruno 09:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect - Non-notable on his own. But perhaps a redirect to Adarsh Hospital might work. -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}18:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete without sources to confirm he is a doctor or notable, I don't think wikipedia should include him. Nickieee 07:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I think a mention in Adarsh Hospital might be enough. Being the director of a hospital, even if it is the largest within a small district from India isn't enough to establish notability on its own.
