Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jai Kumar Jalaj
Without offering an opinion on the subject's notability, I oppose Kevin's reasoning entirely. It is settled and storied convention that encyclopediae, being compilations of useful knowledge, must cover significant creators of such knowledge - who are, in large part, academics. This is a convention that goes all the way back to the Encyclopédie, and Wikipedia hews to this tradition through . To quote from the second point in the summary, "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." If Kevin wants to overturn , he's welcome to ''try.'' If he should be successful on the grounds as stated, I can see a lot of us exiting Wikipedia for good
