 * Delete, sadly. Our only source is a self-published book and web, scholar, and book searches found little else. Searching for her at unom.ac.in reveals that she only directed the institute for six months, and anyway WP:PROF is only for heads of whole universities — head of department is far too low an administrative position to be automatically notable. Single-digit citations for her work in Google scholar are too low for WP:PROF even in a low citation field. Her association with notorious self-promoter Florentin Smarandache doesn't help. I'm all for promoting the accomplishments of underrepresented groups in mathematics (in this case both women and people from less-developed nations, although calling India "less developed" in mathematics seems a little odd) but we should do so by writing about people with significant accomplishments who might otherwise have been overlooked, not by being indiscriminate about who we include. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:58, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Eppstein Fails WP:GNG and her h-index is clearly low for WP:PROF particularly WP:PROF and also fails WP:PROF as she headed only a department and only for 6 months and not the whole university and could not find adequate coverage to meet general notability guideline  either.

 * Delete. I can find papers with 6 and 2 GS citations. Not enough for WP:Prof, even in the low cited field field of pure mathematics. It would be helpful if people who wrote such articles would create a GS profile for the subject. This would make it easier for examination at AfD. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:03, 10 October 2017 (UTC).
 * Is it possible to create GS profiles for people other than yourself? If so that seems ripe for abuse. The more poorly-curated ones of what we have now are bad enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:14, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe I was thinking of ResearcherID. I have not tried with GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:30, 10 October 2017 (UTC).
