 * Requests. This fellow "is a researcher and professor of environmental science and a noted photographer." Unfortunately I know little about environmental science. But as for photography: (i) "He received many national and international awards in photography." Which awards, and what are the sources for his having won them? (ii) "In 2013, he organized his 1st solo photography exhibition in Coffee House, Kolkata which receive huge media coverage and response." Links, please, to the huge media coverage and response. -- Hoary (talk) 10:47, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:ACADEMIC at this time. Google Scholar shows multiple publications, but they are not highly cited. Maybe later as his career develops. --MelanieN (talk) 00:33, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Note that most publications in Google Scholar search are by different people with same name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.212.3.4 (talk) 16:02, 2 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep but in context, due to the above comment I am not sure about the surname so I added two words that relate to him to the https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Sayan+Bhattacharya+manganese+oxide&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C10 search and I still come up with hundreds of citations.

 * Delete as seems all promotional, Fails WP:ACADEMIC. – Davey 2010 Talk 19:12, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment about Jadeslair's "hundreds of citations": yes, but no individual article has more than 25 citations. That does not suggest he is a "thought leader in his field", merely that he publishes a lot. --MelanieN (talk) 00:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. My sweeps of Indian-related media found nothing to support meeting the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:35, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
