Non-notable academic. I checked Notability (academics) and none of the criteria seem to apply. Mucube (talk) 02:19, 30 September 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Not sure about the status of Punjabi University, but ordinary professorship isn't enough for C5. Two highly cited papers in Google Scholar (763 and 138), which might be enough for WP:NPROF, but the first is just a systematic review rather than original research. I don't have access to Scopus unfortunately, so I'm not going to make a vote yet. Ovinus (talk) 20:49, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think that those papers are particularly highly cited for computer science, which must be just about the most highly cited field of study that exists, and the subject has a short tail of other papers listed on Google Scholar, so I don't think he meets WP:PROF on the basis of citations.

 * Delete: Not Notable, He is only a professor of a university or college. Even there are many Academic Awards in India whose recipients are Notable but he doesn't got any Award. Contributor008 (talk) 07:23, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: does not pass WP:NPROF outright as his highly cited paper is a review paper and actual research papers are not highly cited in a field that is generally known for high citation rates . However, I think there is an argument that he is well known for OCR in an important language (Punjabi) which may allow him to pass GNG. He has multiple articles about him and his work in the The Tribune (Chandigarh), The Times of India and other national newspapers.    --hroest 15:34, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per sources found by Hannes Rost. The coverage exists; there's more than a couple news items, and they're substantive; however, I'm somewhat hesitant because the majority of them are in the Tribune, a single outlet, and the Times of India has historically not been a great source.

 * Keep Agree with hroest. Ginbopewz (talk) 13:16, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify: BLP without any inline citations. Google Scholar is a bit weak for passing WP:PROF on 5 year h-index but better for h-index over entire career. They have 2 highly cited papers but then again they are both surveys. But they are also doing things that may have significance within the Punjabi language. I think that Draft and AfC is the way to go so that all of these things can be properly evaluated with references as it is too hard to tell with it like this.

 * soft delete He is a college professor but there is no such independent source from which notability proof is there.Lionfox0909 (talk) 16:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems a likely autobiography, based on page creator's edit history and a notice on the talk page of previous version copyvios by the creator. Infobox image is a personal snapshot uploaded by the creator. This BLP page has been virtually sourceless for almost 13 years. It badly fails BLP policy and as such it is fully within that policy for any editor to summarily delete uncited information about a living subject. If someone is willing to draftify or userfy this page for improvement, that's okay with me, so long as a willing contributor will take responsibilty for the improvement. The current version of the page still being in pagespace after this closure ain't gonna happen. BusterD (talk) 01:21, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
