No sign that he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. I'm not sure what a "Deputy Controller of Examinations" is exactly but I'm pretty sure it doesn't confer instant notability. He is the author (co-author in one case) of two books, neither of which is notable and the list of papers given in the article (4 papers in total, published in journals that are not particularly prestigious, except Journal of Higher Education) is definitely not strong enough to meet WP:PROF.

 * Delete. Note that the subject publishes under the pen name "P. Chengalvarayan". No citability in GoogleScholar. MathSciNet has 5 papers by him, with no citations. Appears to be mainly an academic administrator. Nothing in the record indicates passing WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 21:06, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. His book titles sound like popularized mathematics books, of the type that would be more likely to be reviewed on MAA Reviews than MathSciNet. But I don't see them there either. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:58, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete The path to wiki-notability would be through WP:AUTHOR or the book-oriented portions of WP:PROF, but I'm not seeing any evidence that his books are nearly well-regarded or influential enough to qualify. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 03:13, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
