Fails WP:NPROF. This is mostly a resumé-like article with no independent coverage. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Google Scholar profile is here [1], and shows no sign of WP:NPROF C1. Head of academic operations does not appear to be the top administrative post at Lovely PU. No other sign of notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 06:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clear failure of WP:PROF on academic impact (highest-cited papers 32,13,1,1,0), no evidence of books that might contribute to WP:AUTHOR. Lovely Professional University does not appear to be a highly prestigious university where even a lower-level administrative post might generate reliable coverage.

Strong Keep This profile is proper article as per the Wikipedia guidelines; and few similar profiles are also present on Wikipedia. Head of Academic Operations is one of the top-level administrative post in the one of the India's prestigious educational institute Lovely Professional University.

Delete. A look at LPU site doesn't show anything notable for him. Somehow the title of the "Head of Academic Operations" is not shown on the organization chart. Perhaps it is organization service? But either way, it is not a named chair appointment as outlined in point 5 in WP:NACADEMIC. As the position is clearly not the highest, he also failed to satisfy point 6 in WP:NACADEMIC. Thank you.
Delete Maybe an important personality but not a notable personality. Anything related to LPU is fishy honestly. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 00:26, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep People who have voted Delete here say that he doesn't have enough citations on Google Scholar, but that is completely against the philosophy of notability evaluation. Someone could have 0 citations on Google Scholar and still pass the notability criteria for an academic. Just because they don't pass C1 doesn't meant hey don't pass C6. Getting back to the original deletion nom, it says it's a "resume-style article with no independent coverage" but that is not correct. Look at the reference list and you'll see multiple independent sources of coverage. Dr. Universe (talk) 18:05, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet WP:NPROF, as it lacks the sources which are not just reliable but also significant and indepedent with coverage on the person itself. -- Choose🎵 (talk) 06:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
