This has been raised at Wikipediocracy and also at user talk:Jimbo Wales.
It is a biography of a living person.
The article appears to have an origin that is conflicted.
There are various awards mentioned, but most seem redlinked and I am unable to judge thier notability (Prestigious Haywood Burns Memorial Award Liberty Bell Award, "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award" - which sounds impressive [1] - but he doesn't appear on the Fellowship of Reconciliation's list of previous winners, so it must be a different award?
- The one award that has an article is the Ellis_Island_Medal_of_Honor seems to be regularly given out to both high and low notability individuals, so despite the attempts of the article to link Mr Chopra with "six Presidents of America, many Nobel laureates, generals, chief justices and other very outstanding citizens of America" who have also received it, I'm not especially impressed.
The claims that he "excels in academics", specifically the fields of business studies and management studies, and it might be worth checking whether he meets WP:PROF.

If we decide it's notable, the article needs gutting to remove promotional content and to add reliable sources. Barney the barney barney (talk) 16:50, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete Ugh, blatant promotion. Only tiny sliver of possible notability comes from publicity he received as an alleged slumlord[2] if this is the same person. How surprising that this wasn't in the article! Coretheapple (talk) 21:19, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
