WP:PROF not satisfied. Google Scholar and Google News does not give anything of significant importance. The references from The Times of India and Express India does not have any significant coverage about the subject (which makes his notability as a science popularizer highly questionable). Most other references are announcements about the talks given by the subject. Although he has published quite a few books, most are in the regional Indian language Marathi and I don't believe any of them are widely used or read. Further the publisher of his books, Rajhansa Prakashan is not a notable third-party publisher. It is highly possible that it is a firm owned by the subject. &mdash; Finemann (talk) 14:34, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
