Not enough in-depth coverage to pass GNG, and with an h-Index of 7, and low citation count, can't see anything else that meets WP:NSCHOLAR.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:50, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete the low h factor and citation count don't pass SCHOLAR Oaktree b (talk) 15:15, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete; as you said, low citation count and dubious notability. IA (speak!) 14:06, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. Algebraic number theory is a very low citation field, so while we can't use his citation counts and h-index as a reason to keep the article as we often would for academics in other fields, they are also not evidence of non-notability. On the other hand, for mathematicians, being an invited speaker at the ICM is a signal honor, and I think the Infosys Prize is also significant, enough to pass WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: I wish there was a bit more and probably just a little bit too soon, but I find myself in agreeance that winning the Infosys Prize in such a niche field of mathematics demonstrates his impact on his field and thus notability. Curbon7 (talk) 00:51, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eppstein. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:21, 19 December 2022 (UTC).
 * Keep, agreed that speaking at the ICM is an honor indicative of high scholarly impact. JoelleJay (talk) 16:54, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Weakish keep. The ICM address was joint with his more senior and likely more-notable colleague, and the citation record is weak even for a low citation field like math.  It looks, however, that the recipients of the Infosys Prize are generally notable, and the combination of award + ICM looks like a keep. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
