Subedar is an OR-8 rank according to Army ranks and insignia of India, which doesn't qualify under WP:NSOLDIER, and MVC is a second level award, which also isn't enough for NSOLDIER, and there otherwise doesn't seem to be enough coverage of him to meet WP:GNG or WP:NPERSON Eddie891 Talk Work 13:36, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete does not meet the notability guidelines for soldiers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 04:50, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:GNG per this, this, etc. as these quality reliable sources provide significant coverage to the subject. Srijanx22 (talk) 06:25, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Eh, those sources seem to be listings of PVC and MVC recipients as heroes (which they are)-- but we explicitly only include top-level recipients in the notability guideline. Using Stories of Heroism as SIGCOV would a large number of MVC recipients a claim to notability that they don't really have. The book doesn't call out Chand as particularly more heroic than other MVC recipients, which is what we would expect for notability to be substantiated. If there really is the other coverage that you allude to, I'd be interested to see it as it might establish his notability more clearly. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 15:34, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per above. A standalone article is justified for the subject. desmay (talk) 14:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Based on sources available, I don't believe this person is notable enough for their own article. --James Richards (talk) 12:36, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm afraid I can't see any notability guideline that he meets. Run of the mill coverage for the recipient of a second-level gallantry decoration. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:13, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
