Can't find anything that show's these folks are notable. Sources are totally unremarkable. Quartermaster (talk) 23:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Neither of the two subjects meet the WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR standard individually, and coupling them together as "Bihar's Scientist Couple" violates WP:OR and WP:NEOLOGISM. Note too that several of the current claims in the article don't stand up to scrutiny: for example the two are listed as "co-authors" of the book Energy from the Desert. In fact, they are just two of many contributors to this publication, with their contributions appearing only in Appendix A8. Not to downplay their real-life achievements, but the article does them a disservice by possibly exaggerating them, and thus adversely affecting its/their credibility.

 * Advice about the Title Do you think that the title of the article should be modified? arunbandana 05:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunbandana (talk • contribs)


 * KeepThe list of their publications indicates that they have been working together. So they have been coupled together. arunbandana 05:48, 14 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunbandana (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. Notability is not demonstrated for WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC).


 * Delete. Does not meet notability criteria for WP:Prof, lacks references, and does not meet WP:NPOV. Married scientists are not "unique," and being a conference chair is not a "rare distinction." No evidence (e.g. of prizes or awards) is given supporting the claims that their research is "significant" or "excellent," and the bulk of the article seems to be an ordinary academic CV. -- Radagast3 (talk) 11:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, a joint article isn't really appropriate. Even notable married scientific couples like Marie Curie and Pierre Curie do not have a joint article. -- Radagast3 (talk) 11:42, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete and create separate articles. They may have enough citations for independent notability. Radagast3 is right about couples. MiRroar (talk) 21:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
