Tanka Bahadur Subba

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Barely-sourced stub on a non-notable academic. GScholar lists several publications, all with citation counts in the single digits, except for one with 18, one with 14, and two with 10 citations. The biography at the website of the university of Heidelberg lists some previous positions, the highest one being Dean. In addition, Subba is editor-in-chief of "an internationally refereed biannual journal called The NEHU Journal". However, this does not seem to be a "a major well-established academic journal" as required by WP:PROF. No hits in GNews. Does not meet WP:PROF, WP:BIO, or WP:GNG, hence: Delete.

Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. Administrative positions too low for #C6, citation record too sparse for #C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:25, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree that the evidence included in the article is insufficient to satisfy the PROF guideline. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:48, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He comes up in a few articles (not enought to meet WP:GNG: "The only other anthropologist to have worked in the area subsequently is the Indian scholar Professor Tanka Subba. He spent time in a village on the other side of the valley from Tamaphok in 1993 as part of his study of the Kirant, the ethnic grouping of Eastern tribes such as the Limbu and some of the Rai, of which the Yakha are a part (Subba 1999)."[1]. Also [2][3][4]. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:03, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
