This is a quite promotional article is about a professor. Most major additions have been from a series of single purpose accounts. The article makes several claims of notability - however they are all unsourced. In fact, of the cited sources, the only independent ones do not mention Aneesh. I have looked and I haven't found any decent sourcing. The article mentions a grant from the McArthur Foundation, but please note that it is not one of the selective MacArthur Fellowships AKA 'Genius grants' that might qualify for WP:NPROF #2. It is asserted that 'his work is taught in many universities around the world' but no evidence for this is cited. H-index is 11, nothing special. The article has carried a notability tag for 11 years, so it is time to deal with this one. I believe that this article meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:NPROF and should be deleted.

 * Keep. I found and added to the article many published reviews of his books, easily enough for WP:AUTHOR. The other issues identified in the article are cause for cleanup, not deletion; see WP:DINC. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:22, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
