Like most assistant professors he does not appear to pass WP:PROF. Citations are too low for #C1, local awards are not enough for #C2, and editorial board membership (rather than editor-in-chief positions for a notable journal) are not enough for #C8. Publishing many works is not a notability criterion at all; it is the impact of the works that matters. My prod saying all this, and a prod2 by User:Bearian, were removed, so here we are. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Obvious promotionalism could potentially be fixed, but then we'd have a bland stub about a non-notable person. XOR'easter (talk) 19:50, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Assistant professor, does not satisfy WP:NPROF. This is a resume, but WP:NOTARESUME. Qflib (talk) 20:50, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I stated in seconding the proposed deletion, and as the nominee stated, assistant professors almost never are kept at AfD (especially living persons because of our more exacting standards). He has been at that level for 18 years without getting tenure, the minimum standard for English Wikipedia. Teaching 14 different courses over 18 years isn't unusual, nor is editing, reviewing, supervising students' research, poster presentations, and all the myriad other things that non-tenured professors are forced to do. He works at a Tier A Accredited university that is the 3rd highest ranking out of 8. Three of his most cited papers are in Pattern Recognition, which is an important yet obscure sub-field. He has won some awards, but not one of the five highest honors by the International Mathematical Union. In sum, the objective evidence is that he's a very diligent professor, but who is not notable as we define it. Bearian (talk) 21:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It looks like he is the resident math person for statistical analysis. Almost never the first (who does the work) or last (who is responsible) author -- note that the author lists are not alphabetical. Very odd that he has never been promoted.

Delete: Clearly failing notability under WP:PROF. Well, the article provides details about Dr. Koushik Ghosh academic career and publications, but the issue is it relies heavily on primary and self-published sources, with no substantial independent coverage in reliable secondary sources which weakens the case for inclusion.
