Deprodded page on assistant prof at MIT. No doubt promising, but there are about 2 million university professors in the world, and he does not pass WP:PROF. Single digit h-index. Abductive (reasoning) 04:03, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not pass WP:PROF. CrossTempleJay     talk 09:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree he does not appear to meet the criteria. --Kumioko (talk) 18:38, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. Kumar is a common name. Input from mathematicians needed. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC).
 * Delete. He has some papers with quite high citation counts for their recency and their field, and in very good journals (e.g. Annals), but these are all with Henry Cohn, a more well-established mathematician. According to MathSciNet the two papers and  are the only ones (other than his Ph.D. thesis) that he has that are not with Cohn, and I don't think they're as high profile as the rest of his portfolio. So while he's on an excellent trajectory, I think it's still too early in his career for him to have demonstrated independent impact of the type that WP:PROF requires. And I think none of the other WP:PROF criteria is even plausible. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:38, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Eppstein. I might add, by way of comment, extraordinarily impressive trajectory. Ray  Talk 17:41, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
