Fails WP:NACADEMIC as well as WP:GNG. Most mentions are within a cottage industry of fringe nationalists masquerading as scholars. ∯WBG^converse 10:09, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see enough impact of his work for WP:PROF#C1. I did find one reliably-published source responding in-depth to some of his work (and trashing his translational skills) [1] but I don't think that's enough for WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:41, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
David Eppstein, he is a fringe scholar. The erstwhile version of the article mentioned:-His work was criticized by M. Witzel, Richard Meadow, Martin Huld, Edwin Bryant, D. P. Agrawal, Asko Parpola, Stefan Zimmer, J. P. Mallory, Elena Kuzmina and others *but* w/o any citations.

Choosing to aware you, because I failed to locate the afore-linked pdf and in the hope, that you can track any of these criticisms, which might make him pass GNG. ∯WBG^converse 08:05, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
