The only source I can find is the linked official site which doesn't mention his recently-asserted death. It appears that he fails WP:PROF, however, even if he has recently died, BLP still applies to the recently deceased, and I don't think there's enough coverage to warrant an article. Opting for AFD over PROD to allow input from users who may speak languages in which better sources could exist. SITH (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I can see a few sources - [1][2][3], at the moment I'm not sure that is sufficient, but if more turn up he may qualify under GNG. Hzh (talk) 17:05, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as PROMO for the Sadhana Centre for Management & Leadership Development, an outfit about which I know absolutely nothing except that we do not have a page for it. Page was created by an SPA. It makes no claim to notability and has no sources and no links. It has been tagged for improvement since 2009. And while I appreciate Nom's impulse to await someone who speaks the language, everyone in India with a high school education knows English, and there will be exceedingly few notable figures in India who cannot be sourced in English.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:26, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Everything I can find about him connects to SCMHRD and SCMLD, which he founded. I was unable to find the independent coverage needed to show that WP:GNG is met. My search in Google Scholar found more than one M.S. Pillai, but the others were in chemistry or medicine. I did not find anything to show me that WP:NPROF, or any other SNG, is met.
