Deletion of Vasant Krishna Sharma

Comment: Just to remind everyone that we need reliable sources ''that prove the subject's notability''. All the sources that have been added till now just say that the subject is a lecturer at Delhi University and that he is a member at a couple of questionably notable societies. These facts, while true, are '''NOT''' enough to satisfy notability under Wikipedia's |general notability guideline or |notability for academics. The fact that he is the author of several articles doesn't help. What we're looking for is something like a major biographical article about the subject in a reputable newspaper, or proof that he has won some sort of prestigious award by a notable national or international society. Hope that helps steer the discussion

Comment: Wikipedia is not a genealogy website. The information about his antecedents with the  terminolgy, which I have removed, is superfluous in this case, as notability cannot be inherited per Wikipedia. This man has to be judged on his own merits. Writing some articles for the same newspaper does not, in any way, make him a ''prolific writer''. An established or ''notable'' academic or professor should and would have produced quite a few acknowledged scholarly works by the age of 65 or the time of retirement. I see no evidence of this, backed by reliable third party sources. The primary sources cited in the article can be discounted, as he is doing what most people in his position do at colleges or universities  viz. getting on with his job. Being an office-holder at some  associations or societies is par for the course in such jobs, depending on one's interests and hobbies. This, too,  does not make him notable. Seems to fail
