I'm not seeing how Ratha could pass WP:NPROF: an associate professorship doesn't qualify under crit. 5, and a fairly low h-index of 10 (based almost entirely on grad-school collaborations with more notable academics) doesn't convince me that crit. 1 is met. Since there's no indication that the GNG or any other NPROF criterion is satisfied, he seems to be non-notable. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:42, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I think it's a bit WP:TOOSOON for WP:NPROF for this 2007 PhD who moved on from the postdoc track in 2015. Middle author (in a field where order matters) on a handful of moderately cited papers does not convince me of WP:NPROF C1, and no other notability is apparent. (In particular, secondary implication in a mild scandal about data falsification looks unlikely to grant notability.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:31, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete per nom. Not a full Professor. Low H-index. Way TOOSOON. Article reads like promotion. The closest thing to independent comment is one of his papers being listed for having a problematic image. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:52, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
