• Comment It's a fairly common name, so we'll need disambiguation sooner or later. One candidate is Air Chief Marshal Dilbagh Singh (1926-2001), see [1][2][3], and this new article has accidentally picked up the link from Chief of the Air Staff (India). The Lyallpur magistrate looks unlikely to meet WP:BIO, but let's see any evidence that User:Sandhu75 can put forward. --Mereda 08:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Your grandfather was for sure a good man, but this lexika should not have articles about local heros. Cangbush

Sardar Bahadur Dilbagh Singh .... comment copied here from article page by Mereda 19:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the name of the link in article on Sikh to 'Sardar Bahadur Dilbagh Singh'. I do hope that Ill be allowed to use this name By the way, my great grandfather was not a local hero. At the time when he was district magistrate in Lyallpur, it was one of the most influential cities under British Rule in India The title of Sardar Bahadur allowed him to hold public court in his home. I never met him but what I gathered from my family, inspite of the power he held, he understood the responsibility it carried with it.

• Comment Like it says in the guideline WP:N, it's about having sufficient source material for a verifiable, encyclopedic article about each topic. There's no evidence here about written source material, so it's not viable. The article can always be recreated if evidence is found in future. Mereda 10:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
