This article has superficial referenciness, but the sources are remarkably thin. I found the article because he was listed on the advisory board of a predatory open access publisher, never a good sign. Look at the section "CSI contribution" for example. A secretary of a local chapter and participated in a committee. The guy only achieved his PhD in 2015 and it was not from a significant research university. I do not think this meets WP:GNG, and I have suspicions that the creator, a WP:SPA, may have a conflict of interest. Guy (Help!) 10:44, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete almost no one is notable within 2 years of getting their PhD, even from the top universities, no indication this guy is an exception to that rule.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:28, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Content and References are now almost improved and will be more satisfactory by the time. Wikipedia can move this article in biography of living person but I am very sure this article will be popular like a viral as it is having average 90-95 views within 3 days of creation .

 * Delete. Sources don't demonstrate notability. - MrOllie (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I accepted because of the sole claims of IEEE membership which satisfies notability, however, it's unsourced and there's nothing else convincing. If sourcing can confirm the IEEE membership, then that's different. SwisterTwister   talk  20:34, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * IEEE membership satisfies notability? As far as I know anybody with a bachelor's degree in a related field qualifies as a professional member. Not a very high bar. - MrOllie (talk) 20:57, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:NACADEMIC explicitly lists being a fellow member of the IEEE as sufficient. Normal membership might not satisfy the requirement though. Regards  So Why  10:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
