Not notable

This is clear and blatant promotion. This article violates WP:NOTCV, WP:NOTPROMOTION and WP:NOTABILITY. May also be violating WP:COI. Wikipedia is not a place to post your resume! Many people, especially in academics, have beefed up credentials like this, but we cannot make a page for each and every person! The article talks about the following objectionable things, among MANY:

Best Poster Award – 2009 for the poster of PhD Scholar of Rajeev Varshney, presented at International Conference Grain Legumes: Quality improvement, Value addition and Trade

Certificate of Honour and Cash Award-2000 by Prof. M. S. Swaminathan, FRS for best Research Poster presented as a PhD scholar in a National Symposium at M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai.

Certificate of Honour-1997 by Directorate of Wheat Research (DWR), India for carrying out outstanding research in the area of wheat genetics as a PhD scholar

First Position- University Gold Medal-1995 by Aligarh Muslim University, India for securing first position in M.Sc. in the Life Science Faculty.

School Merit Scholarship – 1988-1990 by UP State Government during Intermediate (11th and 12th Std) as a Meritous Student.

Each and every section has blatant promotion with absolutley non-notable information. -- Watch555 (talk) 19:25, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, can you do a speedy deletion of this article? There is no relevant info here. If there was a bigger section on his contributions it might be more notable. MilkStraw532 (talk) 20:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if I can do it. Seems like an admin has to approve and process the deletion. If that doesnt happen within 24 hour and if no one contests it I will go ahead and delete the page. Watch555 (talk) 20:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed my mind and restored it. The person is notable and has claims of importance in the article, and promotional text and style of presentation can be edited out. If you want to proceed anyway use AFD. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
