The result was delete. My previous relist was a mistake, possible a bug with the closing script I use. The consensus is clear that this professor doesn't meet our notability guidelines. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:22, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:BASIC. Article is grossly promotional. Another admin declined CSD A7 and G11 nominations. (The A7 I kinda sorta can accept, but if this is not unambiguous promotion then there is no such thing.) Ad Orientem (talk) 14:00, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I strongly feel that there should be a wiki article on Prof Pant. He is one of the acclaimed public figures in the field of education in India. One may discuss how objectively the article has been written and whether the contents have been supported by reliable third party references or not. I am sure I shall be able to provide such references in a couple of days. I have already provided one. But to delete it outright from Wikipedia would be grossly unfair.

Keep Not just for the fact that he was a Pro Vice Chancellor of a leading university of India but also by the way he is influencing the teachers and professors in the field of education in India and those from at least 20 countries in the world by his innovative Mobile MOOCS today. He must have conducted more than 15 such mobile MOOCS in subjects such as Flash Fiction, Life Long Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Finance, MOOCS etc. A simple google search of his name gives you such obvious results of his contribution in terms of his earlier research papers and most importantly his recent lectures in various educational institutions about the tsunami of change that that is overtaking the present system of education.

  • Delete as the subject doesn't pass WP:PROF. Pro-vice-chancellors are deputies to the vice-chancellor, and are usually appointed for temporary periods. In fact, the subject's own curriculum vitae states that he was the pro-vice-chancellor of IGNOU only "briefly". Other positions the subject has held aren't notable and too few citations to pass WP:PROF#C1. — Stringy Acid (talk) 17:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
