Subrata K. Sen

Completely lacks independent sources and doesn't clearly meet notability guidelines. A PROD was contested by an IP at Sen's alma matter, citing WP:ACADEMIC. This seems like trying to squeak by on a technicality to me, since the status and significance of the "Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Professor of Organization, Management, and Marketing" (named after tobacco exec Joseph Cullman) has not been established. It looks like this is one of at least two Yale positions named after Cullman, the other being in ecology, and I could find very little about the position. Grayfell (talk) 20:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Looking at GScholar, we see that his articles have been cited thousands of times, that's highly quoted and a clear meet of WP:ACADEMIC#1. Also, he wrote many books.--Rajendra Tuli (talk) 14:11, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. Clear pass of WP:PROF (six publications with over 100 cites each at Google scholar) and even more clear pass of WP:PROF (named professorship at Yale). The nomination statement seems to boil down to the nominator not understanding what a named professorship means rather than any failure of notability on the part of the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:05, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. As David Eppstein cogently points out, the subject clearly meets WP:PROF. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.  (talk) 16:29, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
