Keep: I never said his notability depends on surviving an air crash and you are distorting this subject by a mile. He is a high-ranking officer who already established notability by receiving the
Shaurya Chakra from the President of India himself (and already had a Wikidata item in 2019, three years before before I wrote the article).
I have never, ever stated his notability (which is anyways rising as we speak) is dependent on surviving an air crash. I advise you not to distort the intentions of other editors to make them look ignorant of the rules. I have read
WP:NOTABILITY over and I think this article is supported by
WP:SUSTAINED (He has already gotten notability in the past).

@
DGG - Apologies if my previous reaction seemed a bit too harsh. What I am trying to say is that I never proposed he was only notable for surviving a crash. There are more reasons why I think this article has notability. With all due respect,

Not currently notable in his own right, as a crash survivor or otherwise. He might still die of his injuries as well. This article is simply unnecessary at present.

But it wouldn't fit well into that article, even if we tried. Many additions to that article end up getting cut or deleted, and anyway, this subject (Varun Singh) has become relevant enough.

Comment:
WP:ONEEVENT does not apply in this case as he is know for, well, more than one event. I've added new content to the page, so it is no longer a stub, and so the notability can be expressed more clearly.

Even if someone dies, that doesn't make them non-notable. Almost every news article about the crash has now become an article about Singh.

I have seen participants on Redirect for deletion discussion, using the lack of mention in target article as a reason to successfully delete those redirects. Name should be allowed. This is not a crime incident. Wonder why folks are removing the name.

Keep: Attained fame through the Shaurya Chakra. Became known again after briefly surviving the air crash. The first one itself is worthy of inclusion.
