Non Notable Civil Servant. An office in the civil service is not inherently notable unless it can be shown that the subject has done something to distinguish themselves. Merely being the Municipal Commissioner of a city does not indicate any notability. He is not an elected official like a mayor. More importantly, the sources have to specifically be about the person. It would be easy to find google hits when the subject has a common name and often announces government decisions. But notability needs to be shown independently of these routine news. As far as I could see, I did not see anything to distinguish the subject from a run of the mill civil servant. The coverage has been more about stuff related to his office than actually about him.

• Question How much like a mayor is a municipal comissioner. If they are basically like a mayor I think Gautam is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:56, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment No, there is the post of Mayor which exists in the Municipal Corporation who is the head. A Municipal Commissioner is like the Principal Manager of the Corporation. He's a bureaucrat and not an elected representative. Uncletomwood (talk) 06:28, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - The only "reference" is a dead link. Nothing suggests notability.--Rpclod (talk) 02:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete -- yet another vanity page on an unremarkable low-level bureaucrat. No claim of notability as the subject does not meet WP:NPOL. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Subject has a lot of media coverage. I think if a subject is regularly getting mentioned in main stream media, that says the person is notable. Here are few independent articles about the subject - [1], [2]. The two article from Daily News and Analysis and The Times of India has I. P. Gautam as the main subject apart from hundreds of articles that have mentioned him [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].

Most are just quoting the subject peripherally and are not about the subject. The other references are relatively minor and not significant enough to show notability.--Rpclod (talk) 10:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In 1st and 2nd link, the whole article is about the subject. How much more such articles are required to show notability? And most of the links have direct relation to the subject like the metro project related link have given him due importance as he is the head of the project. References given are from the leading media houses of India. And as I said earlier, hundreds of similar links are available, if more are required to prove notability. I can add more. You don't get mentioned over 100 times in leading media houses of the country unless you are notable.
