The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. I like to honor BLP's wishes to delete an article about them but there seems to be some doubt whether the requesting editor is the subject of the article and there is a clear consensus to Keep this article.

Nominating on behalf of an IP editor on the talk page who claims to be the subject of the article. I am myself !vote as very weak keep if the identity of the IP editor can be confirmed, otherwise as keep. Note that the subject appears to pass WP:NPROF C5 as holding a named chair at a major university. The citation record is marginal for WP:NPROF C1 via citations, but the activism with Global Newborn Society probably contributes some notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Star   Mississippi  03:14, 21 June 2023 (UTC) Please delete this page named after me immediately. My impressions of Wikipedia have turned out to be very different - when I was asked, I thought that it'd be a new age Encyclopedia Brittanica. But at least my case, it became insulting as if I personally wanted to have this page. I don't - it is always the work that speaks, not propoganda. Have any of the wiki editors visited Africa and seen dying babies? It is very easy to talk from a desk. I also think that we need to be careful as an internet-based effort is not always protected from recognition as abuse. This IP address is a local office computer. Please have no confusion as if I am using a personal computer to ask for something. May God bless you. Akhil Maheshwari Jhuma1971 (talk) 03:02, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment that the Jhuma1971 account has previously said on their talk page that they are "a software engineer from New Delhi and frequently visit the United States", so not the subject of the article. I am not sure what to make of this. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 06:32, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF and the named professorship at Johns Hopkins. The issue at hand appears to be the subject's inability to maintain the article in the promotional state they prefer, and the valid efforts of other Wikipedia editors including User:Randykitty and User:Theroadislong to cut back the promotionalism. That is not a good reason for deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:14, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: The subject passes WP:NPROF as a named professor. Getting upset and requesting deletion because the subject's preferred promotional version of the article was reverted is not a good-faith use of WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. Curbon7 (talk) 18:36, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * KeepThe subject undeniably meets the fifth criteria of WP:NPROF, as they hold a distinguished named professorship at Johns Hopkins University.AmusingWeasel (talk) 08:41, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Passes WP:NPROF. It seems that we are dealing with a UPE here, who is trying to impersonate Maheshwari. Maliner (talk) 10:42, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
