I don't at all understand what you are trying to communicate to me. Yes, NASA has listed his various awards on their bio page. But we don't need to wholesale cut-and-paste them here. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 04:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

enter so this much is ok it is from his official career, ZimZalaBim. and i wanted to ask whether if you agree the above awards are needed for this page, i will republish in a concise manner otherwise i will not publish it. Chinakpradhan (talk) 04:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

The vast majority of these are awards that lack context and aren't notable in and of themselves (ie, what is the "SpaceX Kick-Ass Award"??). Do any of these have their own articles to indicate they are notable? I tend to agree with Wikipedia:Awards and accolades that we need to avoid listing every random award a person happens to have received at some point in their life. Again, Wikipedia is not a resume. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 05:04, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

• Anil Menon (NASA astronaut) → Anil Menon
• Anil Menon → Anil Menon (writer)

– The astronaut appears to fit WP:PT1 and is much more likely to be the target sought by readers based on pageviews at a factor of 30:1 (~150 daily pageviews for astronaut, ~5 daily pageviews for writer). Wikinav doesn't generate a graph for the writer, but the Wikinav graph for the astronaut doesn't appear to show any people seeking out the writer from there despite the hatnote. So proposing a swap of the articles. It doesn't seem apparent that the writer would contest a WP:PT2 against the astronaut.
