Non-notable academic, no realistic sign of notability, certainly fails WP:PROF standards. (Auto?-)biographic promotional article in the style of an academic resumé. Article was stubbornly re-created at least three times despite several A7 speedy deletions by two admins. In the latest incarnation, the author has finally added a claim to notability, but it's hardly a credible one: "nominated for 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century". That claim is unsourced (the footnote only confirms the existence of that publication), lacks substance as long as it's not documented what the standards for a mere nomination are (can anybody nominate themselves?), and is most certainly out of touch with the objective degree of academic achievement documented in the rest of the article.

Delete Basically, Not yet. I know his work, & have read some of his papers, as he has many of the same special interests as myself. I did some trimming of the article to our usual manner. As a positive factor, Some of the work is published in JASIST, the highest quality international journal in the field, and Annals is the leading Indian publication in the subject, with an international reputation. But he is , after all, only an assistant professor, and such are rarely considered notable. His papers are almost uncited--citation density in this field is notably very low, but Scopus shows 2,1,1,1, and 0 for the others. DGG ( talk ) 20:28, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt. GS cites are 3, 2, 2, 2. Not remotely enough. Salt for persistent recreation. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Delete and salt. 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century is one of the many vanity lists published by the International Biographical Centre, i.e. it is a well-known vanity scam. It signifies not even a molecule of notability. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 18:07, 8 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]
