Does not appear notable, article may only have been created because he did have a notable daughter, not everyone to have been awarded the King's Police Medal is notable, it's not like e.g. the Victoria Cross. PatGallacher ( talk) 00:36, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:BIO. There's nothing much here (we don't even know what he got the medals for), and the sourcing is terrible. Clarityfiend ( talk) 02:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete No significant sourcing establishing why being Deputy Inspector General of Police in Madras would possibly be notable or why his receipt of a common medal specific to his position is notable. Just because the specific type of award given was uncommon doesn't mean recipients are notable absent better coverage. Reywas92 Talk 17:17, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
