Being an associate professor is not notable enough for inclusion. Nothing in the article makes the subject notable enough for inclusion. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:02, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Sinha has a respectable number of citations (WP:PROF#C1) and has won what appears to be a nationally prestigious award (WP:PROF#C2). The article is concise, solidly referenced and not at all promotional so we lose nothing by keeping this marginally notable academic. Joe Roe (talk) 15:08, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Regardless of whether one considers his awards as significant enough, his citation record (as linked by Joe) shows a convincing pass of WP:PROF#C1. Being an associate professor is not enough reason to keep by itself, but neither is it a reason to delete, and in this case other factors (citations and awards) argue for a keep. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:03, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Reasonable GS citation record for well-cited field. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Keep. In addition to a fairly impressive citation record, he actually has two national level academic awards: the one mentioned above and the Ramanujan Fellow award [1]. The latter is explained at [2] and it seems to be similar in standing to NSF CAREER awards and Sloan Research fellowships in the U.S. Not enough to establish notability by itself but taken together with the Swarnajayanti Fellowship and with a the citability record, certainly good enough to satisfy WP:PROF#C1.
