The article fails to demonstrate notability under Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. Without significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that highlight his achievements or impact, the article risks being promotional and not meeting Wikipedia's standards for inclusion.

I note that many of his publications have a large number of authors and I have found no single-author publications. I note that one 2007 paper "Effect of Variable Pressure on Growth and Photoluminescence of ZnO Nanostructures" published before he got his PhD in 2011 is in a very different field to his others. I have been unable to determine if citation-gaming has taken place. I also note that the nominator appeals to WP:GNG for notability and not to WP:Prof which is the correct one.

Having a single-author publication is a strong factor, but it's hard to achieve in the scientific field. Even without considering this, his role as the first author in research articles is quite few. Charlie (talk) 07:52, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Xxanthippe, thank you for your valuable inputs. Trying to put few things:
1) Nature microbiology paper - First global report on how inactivated virus vaccine works that is formulated with first-in-human adjuvant..helped the global scientific community to understand how to achieve potent protective immunity against covid-19 virus
2) T-cell assays pkatform that was instrumental for phase 3 immunobridging trial that helped the approval for worlds first intranasal Covid 19 vaccine.
3) Frontiers paper - First report from India about the cross-reactive immunity from common cold corona viruses, which was existing prior to pandemic.
these are just few significant papers. Logicprevail (talk) 09:10, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Xxanthippe. His citation counts are okay but not enough for C1 in a high-citation field, and I don't see any indication of a pass on the other WP:NPROF criteria. No secondary coverage that could count towards WP:GNG either as far as I could tell. MCE89 (talk) 04:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Dear MCE89,
    many of the things are not there in this page, if you suggest I can add details like the media coverage. Subject has been interviewed many times on national news channel. His interviews are covered and national and international media. If anyone of you suggest, I can add all details on the page. thank you Logicprevail (talk) 09:39, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would suggest that you read WP:NPROF and WP:GNG. Interviews generally don't count towards WP:GNG — what we would need to meet that criteria is secondary, independent coverage about him in reliable sources (for instance, articles in reliable newspapers about his life and achievements). If he has been very extensively interviewed and quoted in the mainstream media about his work you might be able to make an argument that he passes WP:NPROF#C7, but I wasn't able to find any evidence that that criteria is likely to be met here. The other things you've mentioned, like guest lectures, patents, and government committees, would not be considered evidence of notability.
    I would also suggest that you have a read of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines given that you've said you know the subject personally. MCE89 (talk) 09:58, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete– Metrics like an h-index of 24 and an i10-index of 56 show significant research impact, but they alone do not prove notability.EmilyR34 (talk) 05:56, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Dear EmilyR34,
    thank you very much for your valuable input. May be the person who created this page is not very well updated with the subject. I know him personally, and was happy to see him on wikipedia, and now saddened to see that it reached to deletion discussion.
    This person has three patents in Europe and US.
    He is a very prominent personality and has been awarded over 30 awards nationally and internationally, to cross check you can visit his website.
    he is awarded by bill and melinda gates foundation, he also received Martin Villar award for his significant contributions
    he has also delivered over 100 guest lectures and talks nationally and internationally, created vaccine and covid awareness in prestigious institutes. Logicprevail (talk) 09:20, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete: As per nomination. Zuck28 (talk) 10:27, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would like to request all notable editors here, to let me add all achievements, like international awards won, patents earned, interviews covered by international media, interviews on national news channels, 100's of talks links in prestigious institutes, many first reports from India during covid. Even after this much of contributions, if editors believes that this article still should be deleted, then I respect their decision. although it would be an injustice to the subject. but at the same time, editors should try to maintain same rules for each and every page. If you want, I myself will provide 100's of pages without having any worth. thank you. lets work together for wikipedia. Logicprevail (talk) 09:47, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per nom. RangersRus (talk) 17:47, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: At first glance, the article seems like a résumé WP:NOTRESUME. Also, the individual clearly does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:NACADEMIC. Charlie (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Loewstisch,
Thank you for your inputs. May b you are right that the article fails to demonstrate notability under Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines.
This could be because of the inability of the creator of page to showcase significant achievements and do justice to the subject, but that does not undermine the contributions made by the subject. Subject is very well known nationally and internationally in his fraternity. He sits in top task forces that decides framework and implementations of vaccine across the country.
He is in numerous government evaluation committees, that funds upcoming projects.
I am just trying to help wikipedia to retain prominent people as I know the subject personally. Logicprevail (talk) 09:35, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
