Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M C Puri
There are hundreds of thousands of professors in the world, and to claim that they are all notable is presumptuous.  I cannot find a paper of his that is newer than 1995 (and only two at that), he does not seem to have won any significant awards, and therefore he is not notable.  All the Google hits are news articles based on his death.  Notability is indeed a factor (otability IIRC), and since his funeral is over and done with, it is really no longer a current event.  There also appears to be no more info available than what's already here, even from news outlets
