 * Delete Contrary to what Sweetmusician seems to think, many articles on academics are kept because good sources can be found. Not so in this case. The article lists a number of External links, but all are just in-passing mentions or are an associate editor-profile for an academic journal. 100 citations in a high-citation density field like economics is also far from what we usually accept as evidence of meeting WP:PROF#1. No evidence either that any of the other criteria are met. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Can all this be considered collectively for retaining the page? I withdraw my notification for deletion, if all these help. Propounding a new theory/concept in a high impact factor journal itself can be a reason for inclusion. Google scholar (107 citations soem of them very prestegious, some citations are very detailed); Google News ( 4 references) Google search (many) Recognised Expert ( See ehttp://www.forumfed.org/en/events/event.php?id=103). Fellow of a scholarly body (CMF,ISS, New Delhi) Outstanding contribution recognised (See http://haryana.punjabkesari.in/haryana/news/26052012/page/8$3) Coverage in The Hindustan Times (Live) (no weblink). Newspaper articles also make solid reference. One author has even directed the attention of the government of his country to the findings/views of the author (http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/2009/06/27/71142.html http://www.brecorder.com/component/news/single/1128770/). If not then let the page go with immediate effect. Kindly see which action is more appropriate. I vote against unnecessary "pending status" for a long time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweetmusician (talk • contribs) 04:51, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The citation record doesn't support a pass of WP:PROF, and I'm not convinced of any other WP:PROF criterion. Most of the sources in the article are primary; there are a few reliable newspaper stories but they all mention him only trivially, so the evidence for WP:GNG is also lacking. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:28, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have scrutinized the author's research work. They are very serious works and there is a breakthrough in the two most recent ones. However, it takes time for the international academic community to take note of new research. The author is a researcher with a promising future, but the story has just begun (because the most important contributions are in 2011-12). I guess the author is in the early stage of his career and will build a solid research contribution for biographical inclusion in future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enlightenedb (talk • contribs) 10:17, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
