The result was   speedy redirect to other better article on the same subject. No prejudice against starting a new AfD on that article, but it should be a new AfD, because this one's nomination rationale is based purely on the quality of the writeup, a moot point after the redirect. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:24, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of an academic, written far more like the kind of public relations profile that one might expect to see on the "our staff" section of his own institution than like an encyclopedia article, and citing zero reliable sources to support it. He would probably be eligible to keep a properly sourced article, so I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if the article gets referenced properly before close, but he's not entitled to keep this.

 * Redirect to Ramaswami Balasubramaniam which is more extensive. (Though that might not survive AFD either.) --Jahaza (talk) 15:15, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
