Served for 35 years in the police, became Superintendant of Tiruchirappalli. Was awarded 27 Meritorious Service Entry and 150 Good Service Entry Medals. Among these, neither the 'Chief Minister's medal for gallantry' nor the 'President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service' are mentioned in the linked "Awards and decorations of the Indian Armed Forces". BTW, the 'police medal for meritorious service' had 482 grantees in 2008. Subject then retired and became a motivational speaker. He spoke - at times a lot. And there, Ladies and gentleman, our case rests. Fails WP:GNG as a policeman or as a speaker. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

• :Delete. One out of 480 recipients for a medal seems rather ROUTINE, not meeting GNG for the speaker position. Oaktree b (talk) 15:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
• ::Hello @Oaktree b, thank you for your message. I understand your concern regarding the number of recipients for the medal and its relevance to the speaker position. I'd like to clarify that the selection process for the medal recipients might vary based on specific criteria and guidelines. However, it's important to note that the medal recipients are not directly linked to the qualifications for the speaker position.
• ::The speaker position's requirements and selection process are usually governed by separate criteria to ensure a fair and suitable candidate is chosen. While the number of medal recipients may seem routine, it doesn't necessarily impact the selection process for the speaker position.
• ::If you have any specific suggestions or information that could improve the article or make it more relevant, I would be happy to consider incorporating them. Let's work together to ensure the content is accurate and well-represented. Please feel free to provide any further insights you may have. Thank you. Anandhakesavan (talk) 22:02, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
• :Delete. When reviewing this (before the AfD nomination) I checked the references and also noted the absence of a citation for some of the awards. Seems to fall below the GNG. MarcGarver (talk) 16:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
