PRODded, contested since it was verifiable that he was the pro-chancellor of a University and therefore it's not a non-controversial deletion. A Vice-chancellor is the one that qualifies per WP:Academic, a Pro-chancellor is a nominee of the funding organization, also this particular educational institution isn't a research university. Found this in RS where he's briefly quoted and the fact established that he's Vice Chairman of NICE Society, and this - a researcher thanks him for his encouragement. Other than that, there's mention of him being on the board of the Uttar Pradesh State Body Builders Association on their webpage, and some literature on the University site (both primary sources, trivial mentions - nothing beyond his title). At present there's no RS content to write a stub. Delete - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 17:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I discussed this with SpacemanSpiff and we both had a thorough go at finding refs per WP:BEFORE, but couldn't find much of any substance. We can verify his roles, mainly using primary sources, but nobody has written anything substantial about him. Fences  &amp;  Windows  02:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak delete. If all we can verifiably say about him is a list of positions he held, it's not enough to make a satisfactory article. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete since it fails WP:GNG requirement of non-trivial coverage in third-party sources. Aside: There are also POV/Advert and possibly COI concerns, but if we had reliable sources to base the article on, we could deal with those. Abecedare (talk) 06:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
