Subject fails the criteria for WP:GNG and WP:PROF. The details in the "Early life and education" and "Career" sections are unsupported by the inline references. Several other sections are completely unsourced. The only mentions of the subject in secondary sources, such as in this and this, are trivial mentions, against the second bullet point of WP:GNG. Article overall reads more like a CV than a biography. Uhai (talk &middot; contribs) 05:09, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 * The details in the "Early life and education" and "Career" possibly can be developed. The subject has been or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area and also a reviewer of various publication house. Khorang (talk) 13:14, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I find no sources to support keeping, might be more in the native language though. Oaktree b (talk) 13:00, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep There are various sources which verifies that the academician was also in the news, published articles which are important to the subject, worked as a reviewer for multinational publishers and had contributed to film studies in his native language in writing.

 * Delete The problem here is that, while Ghosh has written plenty about other people and things, hardly anyone referenced here has written about him. I'm not sure if he's "notable" in the abstract sense, I'd like to think that we all are, but it's impossible to write a decent article about his life using only his own words and opinions.CorrTimes (talk) 05:16, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The article references several academia.edu links, unreliable sources, and minor mentions of the subject not resulting in WP:SIGCOV. VV 20:25, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see significant independent coverage of him that meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 00:37, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
