This was a contested prod, but notability is difficult to determine with this article. No sources beyond the freebase article. Leivick (talk) 18:16, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete – At this time. The only information I was able to find was the freebase site. I am sure one day we will be reading about the young man here at Wikipedia. Just sorry, it is not today. Good Luck to him. ShoesssS Talk 18:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for now. There is a clear indication that this young man become notable in future. Good Luck to him! Salih (talk) 19:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The version of this article at the time of nomination was unreadable, so I've just had a go at tidying it up, and now it looks a little more like he's a genuine academic. However, even accepting the truth of the (fundamentally unclear) assertions in the article, the guy still seems to fail WP:PROF and as such he is non-notable and should be deleted. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:28, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional comment - wait up, if the birthdate given in the article (1990) is correct, the guy's only 19 and would have been 15 when working for Aero India and 17 when his academic paper was supposedly the subject of lectures. Much more likely that this is a hoax than that he's a genuine prodigy, especially given the quality of the original article text. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete If any of the claims in the article were true, we'd see at least a bit of coverage in The Hindu. Right now there's nothing at all except the freebase link and a few random blogs. Clearly doesn't pass WP:BIO. -SpacemanSpiff 00:06, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
