Delete since it fails WP:NACADEMIC. A WP:BLP about a professor who held the post of vice chancellor which is not the highest position, and had to resign due to controversy about fake academic credentials. [1]Indian Express DBigXrayᗙ 22:12, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

• Comment. In the Indian system, vice chancellor actually is the highest academic position, as chancellor is a more ceremonial role. So vice chancellor of a major Indian university would clearly pass WP:PROF#C6. But Mahatma Gandhi Central University is so new that it might not pass the "major" part of the criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:28, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. Even if subject's credentials (which allowed him to occupy vice-chancellorship) were not fake, as sources report, the institution in question would still fail WP:PROF#C6, as David Eppstein points out. -The Gnome (talk) 11:59, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
