Really a puff piece: a scientist with a number of hobbies, but no evidence to suggest that he passes PROF or the GNG: the sourcing consists of Who's Who and a bunch of websites, most of them the subject's own. Drmies (talk) 04:25, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per WP:TNT. Some debate is possible on whether this would meet WP:PROF#8: "The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area." Singh is EIC of Mens Sana Monographs, which meets WP:NJournals. However, although MSM is notable, it really only just scrapes by and it certainly is not a "major well-established academic journal". Given the current state of this article (and without any appreciably better version in the article history), I think it is basically unsalvageable and should be nuked. --Randykitty (talk) 07:54, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. The claimed books are called "Monographs," but that usually refers to a substantial scientific work--which these are not. The journal is edits is published by Medknow, which is not a major scientific publisher. The article on Mens Sana Monographs needs some improvement to indicate its borderline status.
