Fails WP:PROF. The only independent source that names him is Scroll.in, describing an industry event of no actual significance. His claim to fame is a paper from a dozen years ago purporting to show that homeopathic arsenic can cure arsenic poisoning. This has not been replicated. That does not necessarily disqualify him from notability - Jacques Benveniste is known primarily for his fraudulent work on homeopathy - but in Benveniste's case we have non-trivial coverage in substantial sources, whereas here we have only clickbait.

 * Fraud? Guy, your defamation is awful. The Benveniste experiments never shown fraud: Mr. Randi said: "Their report avoided any charge of fraud". Guy, Wikipedia need bans the pseudoskeptik liars. 67.171.65.25 (talk) 10:58, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

I think he meets WP:PROF. His h-index is 32, which is pretty high, and he holds the Emeritus professor position in India, which is the one of the highest academic positions in India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Emeritus_Professors_in_India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.65.23 (talk) 15:37, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I added few external links like an article in New Scientist, which is a prestigious science magazine, covering his research, and a very recent (2015, Nov) mention in Nature Asia. With an h-index of 32 and a research mention as recent as November, 2015, doesn't seem to me that his "claim to fame" is just one "paper from a dozen years ago". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.65.23 (talk) 16:25, 9 December 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep per 67.171.65.23 (come create an account and join us!) -- the references to the quality of work in New Scientist and Nature Asia check out. AGF on the high h-index, especially given the difficulty in establishing notability in Indian research sources and WP:BIAS this looks like a clear pass to me. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 06:02, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
