The result was delete. I am not convinced that the only argument to keep, particularly coming from a contentious source, is weighty enough to shift the consensus here in any way. KaisaL (talk) 22:14, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

D Roopa IPS

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non Notable mid level police officer. President's Police Medal does not qualify WP:Military nor WP:Soldier. Almost all officers get President's Police Medal. Article does not meet notability guidelines and is written in an autobiographical style. Uncletomwood (talk) 06:16, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I feel that this page must be given some more time.As per wikipedia policy of deletion, one independent source is necessary and for this article in reference number 37 and 38, an article on her in the most reputed newspaper Times of India has been mentioned. This article in Times of India has covered almost all aspects of D Roopa IPS as mentioned in Wikipedia page. Also, there is a reference in number 6, which is also about her in a short and crisp manner ,however, the reference is in Kannada language. Hence, as two independent sources are very much referenced, this article should not be deleted. Hongkonger56 (talk) 20:13, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Uncletomwood, I believe that D Roopa IPS is notable because, she is the first kannadiga lady IPS officer. She won prestigious President's Police Medal. She is an inspiration to many youngsters particularly girls. Any information on her would inspire women. Most of the references about her are in vernaculars. She is a popular person on various discussion panels in Kannada TV channels. She has a whopping 6650 followers on her Facebook page called D Roopa Moudgil. Within 40 days of her on twitter, she has a Followers number of whopping 1100. She is notable. Consider it again please.nick 07:03, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Check Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sakthi swaroop. Creator of this article as well as the other commentators are all sock puppets. 18:25, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Having a fan following on Facebook isn't a criteria at all. The Presidential Police Medal is a run of the mill award which is given to 70% police officers ranging from constable to DGP. So it doesn't comply with WP:SOLDIER. The page is a puff page and the subject matter of the article is not notable Uncletomwood (talk) 12:38, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Never got the first ping .... brilliant ping system we have!, Anyway non notable soldier - No evidence of notability, Fails GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 05:12, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. no real notability, and almost entirely promotional . Perhaps G11 is the best approach to articles like this. DGG ( talk ) 07:48, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I also concur the G11 claim, by far still nothing convincing . SwisterTwister talk 20:31, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
