 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, despite the significant cleanup required for this article. I found a source for his being a distinguished professor, previously included in the article but tagged as needing a citation. This gives him a pass of WP:PROF. His work within the Indian government may also be significant enough for WP:POLITICIAN. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep delete. Claims not enough. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2016 (UTC).
 * Weak Delete - That one source for the article looks to be a primary source, a conference paper written by him (including, presumably, the bio). Given his age, it seems likely he's retired, but at this moment anyway he's nowhere to be found on the school's website. WP:PROF furthermore requires the distinguished position be at a "major institution of higher education and research". Does Fore School of Management qualify? Possibly? The bigger problem that changed this from just a "Comment" to Weak Delete is that we have here a BLP that does not include even one single solitary reliable source that wasn't written by him, so far as I can see, and thus nothing to base an article on. So my delete !vote should be viewed as without prejudice to recreation if such reliable independent sources turn up. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:01, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesn't satisfy GNG and I believe doesn't satisfy WP:PROF. My first issue with C5 is Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level. I see absolutely no evidence that the subject is tenured or that the subject even taught at the institution for an extended amount of time. The website has absolutely no mentions and neither do any other sources. Looking at the subjects teaching positions, I see that he has held quite a few visiting profs/non-tenured positions in other institutes as well. The second issue is that I wonder if the school itself is a major institution. From what I have seen, it doesn't seem like. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 11:00, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * According to this in 2004 he was part of some government board and it mentions absolutely nothing that he was a professor. This seems a bit dodgy to me. I cannot believe that the "distinguished professor" is a tenured position. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 11:17, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
