[edit] Ratchagar

This article is about a priest who is not particularly notable, although he is mentioned in some articles about the Indian Ocean tsunami. He has 64 unique Google hits. -- Kjkolb 03:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep President of India award (if verified I don't see that on Google) and directorship of large house-building service. Dlyons493 03:39, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
    • '"President of India" Ratchagar' doesn't get any results on Google, although that might not mean he didn't receive it. -- Kjkolb 04:05, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep qualified by whether he/she received the President of India award. The Google test is totally inapplicable for such topics, as documented in the policy page itself. Ambarish 05:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I know, that's why I qualified it. However, it is suspicious for such as recent event.
  • Comment: It looks like the level of achievement for the award is rather low, see also here and here. Still, I suppose he'd be borderline notable if he received the award. How do we go about verifying this? -- Kjkolb 06:31, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm really not sure here, but I don't think there's one overall "President of India" award. The term is probably an umbrella term designating several awards of varying level of achievement. I couldn't find any governmental web-site mentioning such an award anyway. I also verified that Ratchagar wasn't awarded any of the Padma awards for 2005. Ambarish 08:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
