Some more references to Dr. Contractors book "The Heart Truth" which he has authored. [1] [2] [3] All from major websites.

- Keep, among other reasons to keep the article, I have noticed that his book The Heart Truth is referred to quite often in major and credible news sources. He is well known too. Sadly the article here needs work. A good clean up and adding better refs should sort this one out. Karl Twist (talk) 09:26, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
- Even then, that would either suggest the book perhaps is notable, but only if there are such news and reviews available, but that itself alone will not save this man's own article, especially since the applicable notability listed above is not being satisfied; also the links offered here have not been convincing. Also, "it needs work and....a good cleanup and adding better refs" all summarizes exactly what these concerns are and thus why it needs deletion. SwisterTwister talk 07:10, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

- All of these sources are also clear advertising and triviality, as the article currently shows, all that actually exists about this subject is published and republished advertising, so listing others is actually only confirming the emphasized fact of such blatant advertising.

- Delete - not notable, lacking coverage of significant depth, and appears to be in existence for main purpose primarily of promotion. Sagecandor (talk) 02:48, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
If all creditable sources are going to be termed as "advertisements", on this logic, every 2nd page of living persons on Wikipedia will get deleted.
- Keep - Repeating only 3 points on which this page should be retained :-
(1) Dr. Aashish Contractor is considered the pioneer in cardiac rehabilitation in India. India is the country with the largest number of cardiac cases in the world. Hence cardiac rehabilitation saves tens of thousands of lives.
(2) He was part of the Asian Heart Institute team, for the redo bypass surgery of the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, in January 2009. Dr. Contractors role was to lead the post-surgery cardiac rehabilitation.
(3) His book "The Heart Truth" is well received in the media as well as by the Public. If you check the back cover of his book there is a commendation written by Dr. Manmohan Singh the ex Prime Minister of India. [1]
References
All these points have been thoroughly referenced with very creditable sources.

- Delete - I agree that the citations do not show in depth independent coverage by secondary sources other than adver-news about the book. Also, amazon links should be removed. Smmurphy(Talk) 13:23, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete The sources indicated almost all seem to have some sort of connection, organizational or commercial, to the subject. The one independent source, the Times of India, only contains a passing mention. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 07:31, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep - The article clearly needs work, but I think there is coverage about him. Much of his press is about his book, but he has written scientific papers, which have been cited by others, was written about in Science Daily, in several books and Indian papers like Times of India, The Hindu, Daily New & Analysis, Huffington Post India, etc. Part of what tips me from delete to "weak keep" is his role at the The International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (ICCPR). I just wish I could find more about that.
- I made some edits, removed the amazon citations, and did some editing. I would be happy to do some more work on the article if it's kept. The only place I am seeing "widely recognized as the pioneer of..." is in his bios for articles or a charity. The best one is a bio for the RF Hospital, but that's not a secondary source and is worded exactly the same in the other bios. I think it needs to be removed until there are secondary sources found that describes his body of body of work and make the statement about him being a pioneer.
- For the person who wrote this article, if it is deleted now, try again when there is greater coverage in reliable, secondary sources.--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:11, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- delete marginally notable at best (refs are poor and mostly passing mentions or SPS) and obvious promotional pressure per the very WP:BLUDGEONing of this deletion discussion. Jytdog (talk) 21:20, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
