Delete. Dean is not a high-enough administrative position to pass WP:PROF#C6, and the Central University of Haryana at which he works is a new university with an enrollment lower than many US High Schools, unlikely to be considered a "major academic institution". His name is common enough that I had trouble finding his publications in Google Scholar among the ones by the chemical engineer and library automation researcher with the same names; both of them had too-low citations for WP:PROF#C1 and this one's must be even lower. There could plausibly be a case for WP:AUTHOR but for that we'd need multiple published reviews of his books, not in evidence. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, basically per David Eppstein. Being a Dean is certainly not enough for passing WP:PROF#C6. Citability is quite low and there is no indication that his books made a significant impact. Does not pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 01:11, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep He is author and has been a member of the committee for taking policy making decision for whole India at National level deputed by apex body University Grants Commission of India. His contribution was remarkable.Mamtakuhu20 (talk) 16:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Being an author is not, in and of itself, indicative of notability. We would need proof (e.g. published reviews of his books) that his work has made significant impact. Committee work of the type you mention is not unusual for academics either. If his contributions there were indeed, "remarkable", as you say (and how do you know that?), we would need verifiable evidence from independent reliable sources regarding that.

Speedy Keep "remarkable" In India it was a remarkable policy decision for education in India and may be verified from University Grants Commission (India) report given in reference of Rajesh Kumar Malik page.HariSinghw (talk) 02:50, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - David Eppstein's assessment of the notability of his position is most persuasive. And fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy Keep~~ He is professor of law and a person become only after his or her remarkable contribution and He is Dean also of a Central University of Haryana in India. His contribution as a committee member of National level is notable.HariSinghw (talk) 00:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have struck this duplicate !vote since the same user has already cast a 'Speedy Keep' !vote above. Nsk92 (talk) 00:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC) [reply]
