 * Weak keep - I had to gut the article because most of the original content was a copyright violation. I had rewritten the "education" part, but not the rest, which consequently is now missing. Yes, self-promotion is an issue here, but there is also a significant amount of third-party coverage of Joshi and his work, including coverage of what looked like notable awards to me.

 *  Weak Keep - I have found many papers authored by this person and they are quite cited by other academic papers. There are also several awards, some of them assigned by IBM and another one assigned by IEEE (relate to his achievement at IBM). In a biography I've found the statement that he won also the Lewis Winner Award in 1992, but I can't find any reliable secondary source that could support the claim. The only reason why I've not added all these information to the article is that evaluating the notability of an academic requires usually a check to ascertain whether the papers have been peer-reviewed. I've not done this check, yet, but until now all the hints point to a notable person and that's why I have suggested a cautious keep. ► LowLevel (talk) 16:15, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: removed the "Weak" after realizing that the IEEE fellowship alone would be enough to meet the WP:PROF criteria. ► LowLevel (talk) 02:11, 17 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Rajiv was induscted into NJ Inventor Hall of fame for patented wotk on IC manufacturing, Memory technology and circuit design and predictive analytics. He received prestigious 2013 IEEE Industrial Pioneer Award for pioneering work in VLSI design and technology.  He has over 200 US patents and close to 350 international patents. This work played a impactful role to push Moore’s law  He received the 1992 Lewis Winner Award from the IEEE International Solid state Circuit Conference for fabricating a superfast chip called “lightening”.  He won IEEE Jim Mccalla Award for the best paper from ICCAD which form the Predictive Failure Analytics for Silicon chips.   Rajiv  is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)[5].  for generating novel chip metallurgies which are used in all modern electronics- - from main frames, servers,  cellphones to wearable computing,  He received the 2008 Distinguished Alumni Award from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India,[7]  for his contributions to VLSI technology and design areas. He is a Distinguished Lecture for IEEE Elelctron and Device Society (EDS)   and IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) and has given several international talks in the area of low power designs and predictive Failure analytics for memories.

 * Keep - is an IEEE Fellow per the mandetech.com reference already in this entry. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 00:54, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing remains of the original autobio version of this article, and either the IEEE Fellow or the citation record alone would be enough for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:17, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
