 * Comment. The nominator has not given a rationale for deletion, but the article lacks references to reliable sources. I haven't found any RS coverage in a search. • Gene93k (talk) 14:32, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment. Sorry this is my first time. The person in question is not a noted academic. The article states that "A scientist himself, he educated and encouraged a generation of students, some of whom migrated to prominent positions abroad." However, I could not find notable scientific work attributed to the person. Also no list of notable students are mentioned. Moreover, it looks to me as if the article is written in a patronising manner. In my opinion, the person in the article does not satisfy any of the notability criteria either in academics (only one i am not sure about is point no 7, but the article does not give any reason to believe that he satisfies that) or the people section of the wikipedia policy. Further as mentioned before there are no citations from reliable sources. Gmk7 (talk) 14:49, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick followup and delete per my findings above. The article is a memorial to a non-notable person. • Gene93k (talk) 15:13, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Because as Gene93k put it, it is a memorial of a non notable person. Also is written in a patronising manner.Gmk7 (talk) 16:33, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
