[edit] Navin Hiranandani

This article is completely plagiarized/directly copied from his hospital biography. Also, the doctor does not seem distinguished enough to warrent a wikipedia article. Regardless, the article needs to be completely rewritten. St.isaac 19:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I respectfully disagree. There are numerous sources, including his biography from various sources and numerous media reports which cite him as a prominent surgeon. His name is well known and reputed among the otolaryngology community certainly in India, and globally. His passing was reported for days and carried on the cover of every Indian Newspaper published in every language, and made the top headline on all TV and Radio news reports in Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and other Indian metropolis'.--Johngalt1234 20:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep His murder was covered in the Indian media. He was not a famous doctor but after his murder was well known. Also he is related to the Hirannadani Family which is involved in Real estate. The article does need to be cleaned up though.--Ageo020 20:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I beleve that the media reported it as a suicide, not a murder, but in any case, the rest of the above two comments make sense. He does seem to have prominence in Mumbai social circles, seems to be well known in academic medical circles prior to this incident, but the prominence comes from being part of a well known construction family, being the son of another prominent surgeon and politically connected individual, and from the circumstances of his death. I agree, the article should be reorganized and cleaned up a bit.--72.225.10.219 03:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• If it's a copyvio, tag it as a copyvio and rewrite it. I think he's notable enough to pass. --ColourBurst 03:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
