Ravindra Ghooi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable academic. Web of Science lists 8 articles, cited a total of 36 times (h-index of 3). The mentioned publications in The Lancet are just one page items cited 6 and 0 times. Does not meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG. Guillaume2303 (talk) 11:55, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

After going through the links given above, I was able to find this in News
 * 1) ‘Quality is expensive’ - Interview of Dr. Ghooi on Expresspharma
 * 2) Not just another brick in the wall - Mention of Dr. Ghooi in the article

Institute of Clinical Research in India (ICRI), is the pioneer organization for clinical research education in India. Dr. Ghooi was Principal at this Institute. In short he has one of hose few persons who have been involved in clinical research education from the beginning. I dont know if that proves the notability. Please guide.

 * Weak delete Wikipedia has pretty high criteria for inclusion when it comes to scientists and academics, and I don't think Dr. Ghooi quite meets them. Comment to Abhijeet Safai: What you say about the Institute of Clinical Research in India is interesting, and I notice that the ICRI does not currently have a Wikipedia article. You might want to consider creating one. It's possible that the ICRI is more notable than Dr. Ghooi is, but that he could be mentioned in an article about the Institute. --MelanieN (talk) 17:30, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

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

 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. The expresspharmaonline pieces found by Abhijeet Safai do not provide enough nontrivial information about the subject to support an article or satisfy WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:38, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I have added some more references to the article. Kindly have a look at it. Thanks Abhijeet Safai (talk) 10:36, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You appear to have added a list of publications by Ghooi. But that's not what we need here. We're looking for publications by other people that provide nontrivial biographical information about Ghooi. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:14, 8 May 2012 (UTC)


 * weak delete Biographical information is irrelevant. We judge WP:PROF based on importance as a scientist. David, that;s what you always say yourself. As to that, however, there are almost no citations, but this may be a limitation of our sources.  DGG ( talk ) 03:19, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
