This article was nominated for deletion on 2008-01-16. The result of the discussion was keep.

Regarding notability: a quick Googling, a look at this Laudatio, and the granting of his knighthood all suggest adequate notability to keep this article. However, can we please have more on his achievements in the article itself?

He does have a knighthood, and was appointed high sheriff of Greater Manchester in 2002 - I think that makes him notable.

It's possible that he may be notable, but to be so he needs to meet the criteria at WP:N, WP:V, WP:BIO and/or WP:PROF. If he does meet the criteria then it needs to put in the article with citations. I would urge you to make the necessary changes soon as there is a discussion taking place at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sir_Netar_Mallick to see whether this article should be deleted or not. If you want to take part in that discussion I would ask that you read Wikipedia:AFD#How to discuss an AfD first. Good luck! --JD554 (talk) 13:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
