NN academic. Prod tag was removed with little improvement to the article. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 14:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete Greatest claim to notability is being acting director of a (very) notable college. The "acting" label troubles me, as he likely spent a short time in the role, and likely only because someone vacated the position unexpectedly. Nothing else in the article demonstrates adequate notability. Caknuck 16:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete. I removed the prod as I didn't feel it was a case for uncontroversial deletion. My search for additional information to establish notability per WP:BIO was largely unsuccessful. I'd support keeping if additional information was added, but as the article currently stands, I believe it ought to be deleted. -- Black Falcon 18:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I am changing my suggestion following the improvements made by John Vandenberg and this excerpt from the second source: "Head, Department of Mining Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur for nearly twenty years". A 20-year department head of a major national technology institute is notable (could do with some better sources though). -- Black Falcon 23:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete. What's there seems verifiable. And if he were really head of IIT Kharagpur I'd say keep. But acting head for a few months until a new head could be found doesn't seem quite so notable, and his research doesn't seem to have made much impact. —David Eppstein 16:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep--quite apart from acting director, professor at a major research university is N, and he has been--the iIT is the premier engineering university in India. The article just needs expansion.DGG 22:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep; I've expanded it a little. The book "Mine Disasters and Mine Rescue" is quite widely distributed, lending itself to possibly being a set textbook. Reliable sources arnt easy to find. John Vandenberg 22:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - breing head of a major dept of IIT asserts notability.Bakaman 23:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Not notable per moi. --Parker007 18:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
