WP:BLP of an academic administrator, not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for academics. The only notability claim in evidence here is that he's vice-chancellor of a university, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself in the absence of a demonstrated pass of WP:GNG and/or WP:NACADEMIC -- but this just résumés a handful of jobs without demonstrating the significance of his work in any of them, and is referenced to a single short blurb announcing his appointment as vice-chancellor, which is not enough to get him over GNG all by itself if it's all the coverage he has. As I'm not an expert in locating Indian sourcing, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can find enough solid sourcing to improve the article, but nothing here is enough in its current state.

 * Comment. Vice-chancellor of a university, in the Indian system, is the person heading the whole university. (In contrast, chancellor is a purely ceremonial position.) So if Baba Mastnath University were a major university, it would pass WP:PROF. But I am not convinced that Baba Mastnath is significant enough to count for that. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:47, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Given the state of the article, redirecting to Baba Mastnath University might work, where a couple of sentences note on the current VC would be appropriate. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:02, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Meets criteria #6 of WP:PROF as Vice Chancellor (i.e. top admin position) of an accredited university. Detailed information at WP:PROF says that publications of the institution where the post is held are considered a reliable source. s such they meet notability. Having said that, the page needs a lot of work. Gusfriend (talk) 06:50, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * C6 requires "a major academic institution", not merely an accredited one. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:20, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
