Doesn't qualify for Wikipedia's criteria for notable academics. The Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics of which he is an editor-in-chief has a very low impact factor and the main organisation he's a fellow of appoints about 25 to 40 of them per year. The article was created by a single-purpose account which probably has an extreme conflict of interest. Graham87 (talk) 14:55, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- Totally irrelevant for someone whose notability rests on WP:PROF not WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:21, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- Leaning Keep. Agree with the nominator that Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics is insufficiently prestigious. However uncomfortable about dismissing the National Academy of Medical Sciences fellowship; it feels biased to accept the UK or US equivalent body but not the Indian one. For comparison, the British body elected 59 candidates last year, based on a much smaller population.[1]. Assuming this is the GS profile [2] it looks quite healthy (top papers 1034,239,187,156,137) and might well be enough to satisfy WP:PROF, though the field is quite citation heavy. Espresso Addict (talk) 13:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The editorship in combination with the National Academy membership and a very healthy citation record (we usually take an h-index of 20 plus at least 3 articles with >100 citations as indicating notability) make this a clear meet of PROF. --Randykitty (talk) 15:02, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Membership in the recognized national medical academy of a large country should be good for WP:PROF#C3 and that indicators of other forms of academic notability are also present. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:56, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep -- editor of significant journal, plus major and selective National Academy membership is a keep. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 20:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
