Delete per nom, I'd say the claim is verifiably false [1] -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 16:27, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The claim is verificable. [2][3] 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk !} 18:03, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly passes ANYBIO. Recipients of Padma Shri are notable and always kept in AfD. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk !} 18:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Except the source doesn't support the award being given? and the photographs of the person do not match? Theroadislong (talk) 18:03, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See the edit history of the page. An unknown IP added that photo. I think that Pravakar Maharana really got that award and someone vandalised that page by inserting his own photo. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk !} 18:11, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the photo is of Laxmi Narayan Maharana (see google search results). 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk !} 18:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Happy to withdraw the nomination, as it seems like the article had been hijacked when I tagged it for AFD. Theroadislong (talk) 18:18, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
