particular in India, in fact, where major foreign awards are considered more prestigious than national ones. That does not prove that the standard might not be sufficient nonetheless. We are left with two very unfortunate choices: either recognizing the lack of merit of certain national societies, or admitting people to a recognized international standard depending on what countries they come from. I would very much like to avoid making such a general determination here, or at any of the individual AfDs. Perhaps we shouldctry to look at whether it meets the basic WP:PROF standard. If it does, that would be sufficient. that will take some further analysis.
723:- these are major societies and academies in India. I shall systematically enlist all Fellows of them, and create articles. Please dont complain later and please help when they go in afd. This is a good news for Women empowerment advocates too, they just need to find a Fellow women and nothing else to be her on WP. This statues will clarify lots of doubts of Indian editors, who find it difficult to give a secondary source (as reasoned that Indian media cover only cricketers and film stars, not scientists). Any admin, senior admin, please feel free to comment, this is very important discussion going on here...we should not change our minds later. Thanks.
749:
know that these two are not equal. I nominated afd, but you and other editors given a keep. I humbly state that it was you and other editors (who given a keep here), who should have thought all the above before giving a keep whether a Fellow of IAS should be comparable to FRS. If this subject could be a keep based on that he is a Fellow of IAS, all the
Fellows of IAS deserve to be here on WP. This is my point, and I think I am honest and fare in this. Let the statues pass, and if this article is a keep finally, I am going to refer to these discussions when I myself create articles for all the Fellows of IAS on WP. Thanks.

academy. Knowledge doesn't work like that. It's a work in progress. People write articles as and when they feel like doing it. Yes, every member of these academies is probably deserving of an article. If they weren't eminent in their fields then they wouldn't be members. That doesn't mean they all have to have an article immediately. As to reliable sources, in what way are these people not covered in reliable sources? What do you think is unreliable? There's absolutely nothing unreliable about an academic's profile on his university's website or the website of a learned society of which he is a member. --
872:. Still I see lots of "keep" with argument that notability is met simply because the subject is a Fellow. I honor these views, but it leave me in a situation to believe that this statute/rule that merely a reference to confirm that a person is a Fellow is sufficient to "keep" the article (as evident from above keeps), then why the rule should be different for other fellows, and then there is no harm if all those 10 thousand people are here on WP. I am humble and just want to understand why - for example

shortcut (among other possible short-cuts, such as prizes), on the assumption that people who meet the shortcuts always have such recognition, or they would not have been elected, given the prize, etc.-- and that the committees involved in such honours are better judges of this than we are. It is generally considered here that scientific notability is international. and the standard is international.
336:- I humbly state that this is not over statement. India is a country of 125 million and there are dozens of similar societies in India. Please do not go with just one title and assess, even a nobel laureate here on WP require some secondary sources to establish the claim on notability. If I am wrong, you can please give a reference to appropriate WP rule, where this is the exception.
354:, subject only to a source that says he or she is a Nobel laureate. This professor may meet the 3rd criteria, but it depends on the nature of that Academy. He also has two major books published outside India. He appears to be retired as he is 72. I agree he currently appears marginal as a keep. Let us see whether someone in his field can find better sources than you can. --

I will appreciate a direct reply of my question above. We are not talking about Royal
Society here. We are talking about IAS, NAS, NASI, ISCA, NAAS and other similar societies and academies of India. More than 10 thousand Fellows and I dream to create article for all of them, just a single line
976:
In this case the question is whether the standards of this particular national society are sufficiently high to prove this. I am undecided on this. I certainly think that it is not as high as the Royal society or the NAS US, and that this non-equivalence is recognized in India as elsewhere--

450:- All right. It implies that WP should now have separate terms for actors/researchers and researchers from India/US/Ghana/Cuba and so on....?? Also this implies that there are no mentions in secondary sources. This disqualify the article on WP. Thanks for strengthening the afd nomination.
668:
This is not the way to go about it. We need to look at each of these societies separately and certainly not have "other similar societies and academies of India". I consider that we have far too few articles on academics. We probably do not have all
