Promotional article on borderline notable academic. It is unclear why the article contains such a lengthy "Academician" section when it has no direct bearing on the notability of the subject. Almost all references are to the works of the subject himself. Google Scholar shows no work getting 10+ citation i.e. a likely failure of WP:PROF. If kept someone needs to volunteer to stubify this article to 5% of its present length Solomon 7968 13:53, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I have deleted a major part of the Academician section as it was completely off-topic. Bharatiya29 (talk) 06:02, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails the notability criteria for WP:PROF. — Sanskari ^Hangout 14:26, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I should note that Google Scholar is not going to be great for academics who (1) write in non-English languages and (2) died before the preeminence of the Internet, as their work is likely not digitized and cannot be easily counted. However, this article is too promotional and packed with primary sources to make heads or tails of the subject's actual impact/importance and would need to be rewritten from scratch. czar 15:40, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
