Very questionable whether it passes WP:NORG. This article is highly promotional with major WP:COI concerns and lacks WP:SUSTAINED notability backed up by WP:RS. Amigao (talk) 02:04, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Makes sense to clear any content that isn't relevant but the company shouldn't be deleted since their research, led by the head of urology at King's college has made big advancements in sexual health including being published in Nature magazine. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-025-01074-x.epdf Very little work has been done in sexual health devices from a medical and research-led standpoint and these guys are one of the very companies doing it for over a decade.

Vanity page, created by a single-purpose account who recreated this page several times in draft space. See: Draft:Prashant Madanmohan and Draft:Xternal, which indicates that author is either a paid editor or likely has a conflict of interest. A WP:BEFORE search doesn't show sufficient coverage from reliable sources, and there's little indication that subject warrants a standalone article. CycloneYoris talk! 07:33, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Keep Thehugolion (talk) 13:44, 23 June 2025 (UTC) Oppose deletion — Subject meets notability criteria under WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:CREATIVE

1. Significant coverage in reliable, independent sources (GNG): Contrary to the nomination, the article cites multiple reliable, third-party sources with non-trivial coverage:

These sources reflect broad, non-trivial coverage across national and international outlets, satisfying WP:GNG.

2. Meets WP:ANYBIO: Recognized honors The subject was awarded notable distinctions:

  • "Arvestaget" title from the Republic of Armenia for cultural contributions (with photo and embassy references).
  • Guest speaker at the Armenian Genocide commemoration in New Delhi (2024), a high-profile diplomatic event.
  • Reminiscier Fellowship 2025 by Global Cultural Council.

These are significant, non-self-bestowed recognitions that meet the threshold for WP:ANYBIO.

3. Creative and scholarly output (WP:CREATIVE, WP:AUTHOR): Dr. Leander has authored:

  • The God of Deserted Memories – launched at a 7-day literary exhibition with diplomatic support.
  • The Monk With A Stethoscope – a widely distributed philosophical memoir.
  • Books on Armenian heritage supported by cultural centers and embassies.
  • A biography of impressionist artist Lems Nersisyan.

This meets WP:CREATIVE and WP:AUTHOR based on quality, distribution, and recognition.

4. Additional contributions and presence:

  • Founder of Cognishift.org and the Indo-Armenian-French Art & Literary Confluence (attended by 500+ people and supported by Lalit Kala Akademi, Ministry of Culture).
  • Citations and publications on ResearchGate and Google Scholar.
  • Referenced by both Indian and Armenian official and diplomatic entities.

5. Draft history and intent: Yes, the article had earlier drafts. However, the current article reflects significant effort to meet notability, with references from high-quality sources and no promotional tone. Previous draft iterations should not be held against a now-verified and well-sourced article.

Conclusion: This subject clearly meets Wikipedia notability criteria for authors, cultural figures, and honorees. The article can be improved, but deletion is unwarranted.

Recommendation: Keep and improve.

Extended content

Additional point — Mainstream Indian media coverage strengthens WP:GNG

The subject has been covered by Indulge Express, the arts and culture vertical of The New Indian Express, a major national newspaper in India. This feature article highlights his Indo-French-Armenian literary work and his cultural event at Lalit Kala Akademi:

Indulge Express article – May 10, 2025

This is a **significant source** from **mainstream Indian media** and is both **independent** and **non-trivial**, thereby satisfying the core requirements of WP:GNG. It reinforces the fact that the subject’s work has attracted attention in recognized national publications with editorial oversight.

This is in addition to other sources like The Times of India, ThePrint, and Business Standard, confirming that the article meets general notability criteria through multiple independent, reputable media sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thehugolion (talkcontribs) 14:22, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Additional point — Recognized by Armenian Ministry of Culture and conferred the "Arvestaget" title

In 2024, the subject was formally recognized by Armenian cultural institutions and awarded the honorary title of "Arvestaget" by the Republic of Armenia for his contributions to the preservation and promotion of Armenian culture, literature, and memory.

This recognition was:

  • Conferred with the support of the Armenian Ministry of Culture
  • Publicly documented with photographs and permanent links (see references in article)
  • Issued in conjunction with his cross-cultural literary work and diplomatic events organized in Armenia and India

This satisfies WP:ANYBIO which includes individuals who have received significant national or international honors from recognized cultural or governmental bodies. It also strengthens his profile as a notable figure in Indo-Armenian literary diplomacy and heritage work.

Such recognition from a national ministry of culture is notable, rare, and equivalent in value to inclusion in state-level halls of fame or cultural orders often cited in other AfD keep arguments. Thehugolion — Preceding undated comment added 14:36, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Additional Notability Basis — National Honors and Cross-Cultural Recognition from Armenia’s Ministry of Culture

The subject was conferred the honorary title of “Arvestaget” by the **Republic of Armenia** in 2024 for his cultural, literary, and philosophical contributions to Armenian heritage and Indo-Armenian relations. The title was formally conferred with the **backing of the Armenian Ministry of Culture and the Avetik Isahakyan Central Cultural Center**, a national-level institution. This distinction is documented through official references and photographs cited in the article.

Such **official cultural recognition from a national government** directly satisfies WP:ANYBIO under WP:NBOOK criteria under: _"The person has received a well-known and significant honor at a national or international level."_ WP:AUTHOR criteria 2 and 4 , book being part of exhibition in India's premier Government National Academy of Art - Lalit Kala Akademi with International attendence- Armenia and France. This parallels arguments used successfully in other biographies (e.g., state-wide halls of fame, high-profile fellowships), and carries special weight given the cross-cultural nature of the award involving three nations (India–Armenia–France).

The recognition was linked to the subject's books and artistic collaborations that have been independently covered in national and international press (Republic of Armenia government centre Avetik Isahakyan Centre,Indian Embassy website, Times of India, ThePrint, Business Standard, Indulge Express).

Combined with national press coverage and scholarly output, this title substantiates a strong claim for notability. Keep --Thehugolion (talk) 15:19, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete: The article was a mess so I tried to clean it up so future reviewers have a more neutral base opinion. That said I found absolutely zero independent sources that we can use for this BLP bio. The above LLM nonsense doesn't give me a good feeling either. I will note that apparently he also goes by "Madan<space>Mohan" sometimes, to provide more searching surface area.
Add: Also the best sources used in this article don't mention the doctor so thats not useful. And I couldn't find good reviews of his books. Moritoriko (talk) 06:43, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep: The article is about an author , doctor and cultural curator whose work has been adopted and shown as an exhibition by an artist in the National academy of art in India.This has garnered attention of French, Indian and Armenian diplomats and covered by national newspaper- The Indian Exrpress -Indulge. As per author criteria, this sets the stage for notability. Besides the state title and honor, significant cultural dissemination and works toward uniting cultures, it is a deserving biography for Wikipedia. Indulge Express , is the cultural review section of The New Indian Express, ( Independent third party National News with by line) the article discusses the depth of his work in elaborate detail , it also shows how the book has been adopted as an exhibition.This satisfies the Author notability criteria. The news source is independent national news and cultural review source, satisfying review and news coverage both. --Artakbig (talk) 10:11, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
